Pokemon Go Raikou Counters Guide: Which Pokemon Work Best For This Raid?

Alright, so today I decided to tackle this challenge I’d been seeing all over the place in Pokemon Go: catching Raikou. I’d heard it was tough, but hey, I’m always up for a good challenge. So, first thing I did was some quick research to figure out what I was getting myself into.

Turns out, Raikou is no pushover. I mean, it’s a legendary, right? So, I needed a solid plan. I found some stuff online about the best counters. They were talking about some Pokemon I’d never even heard of, like Shadow Registeel and Shadow Mewtwo and how good they would be for this fight. I did have a Shadow Groudon though, so I thought, “Hey, that’s a start!”

I spent a good hour just prepping. I powered up my Shadow Groudon as much as I could, making sure it had the best moveset according to those online guides. They kept mentioning fast attacks and charged attacks, DPS, and TDO, whatever that meant. But all I was getting was that my Pokemon had to deal as much damage as possible before time ran out or they fainted.

Then, I rallied a few friends who also play. We met up at a local gym where Raikou was supposed to appear. We were all a bit nervous, to be honest. None of us had ever faced a raid boss this strong before. But we were also excited. It felt like a real adventure.

When Raikou finally popped up, it was epic. It looked so powerful and intimidating. We jumped into the raid, and bam, the battle started. My Shadow Groudon was first up, and I just kept tapping away, using those fast and charged attacks as fast as I could. My friends were doing the same with their Pokemon.

It was intense! Raikou was hitting hard, and our Pokemon were taking a beating. I saw a couple of my friends’ Pokemon faint, but we kept pushing. My Shadow Groudon was still going strong, dealing out damage like a champ.

• Strategy: Use strong Ground-type Pokemon.
• Preparation: Power up your Pokemon and learn the best moves.
• Teamwork: Team up with friends for better results.
• Execution: Keep attacking and don’t give up!

Finally, with just seconds left on the clock, we defeated Raikou! The feeling was amazing. We all cheered and high-fived. It was such a rush! Then came the moment of truth: trying to catch it. I threw those balls, one after another, holding my breath each time. And then, on the third try, I caught it!

Man, what a day. It was one of the most exciting things I’ve done in Pokemon Go. I learned a lot about strategy, teamwork, and not giving up. Plus, I got a Raikou out of it! Definitely an experience I won’t forget.
