Shadow Raikou Raid Guide: Counters, Stats, and Shiny Odds

Listen up, y’all! Let me tell ya ’bout this here Shadow Raikou thingamajig. Heard folks talkin’ ’bout it, this here legendary beast cat. Sounds fancy, huh? But lemme tell ya, it ain’t just some pretty face. This cat’s got teeth! Sharp ones, I betcha. Folks say it’s a good attacker in them raids. Don’t rightly know what a raid is, but sounds like fightin’ to me. And this Shadow version? Even better, they say. More oomph, I reckon. Talk about XL candy too… sounds sweet, like somethin’ for the young’uns.

Now, they sayin’ this Shadow Raikou is comin’ back to somethin’ called Pokemon GO. Another one of them newfangled games, I guess. If you’re lucky, real lucky, you might even see a shiny one. Shiny, like a new penny, all glimmery and bright. Wouldn’t that be somethin’?

Beat this here Raikou, they say you need four folks. Four! That’s a whole lotta people, if you ask me. Maybe three could do it, but it’d be tough, like tryin’ to catch a greased pig. They talk about “Purified Gems” too. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in a church, not a fight. But hey, what do I know? If you ain’t got the best moves, or whatever they call ’em, best bring along more folks. Better safe than sorry, I always say.

• Four or more, that’s the ticket.
• Unless you’re one of them fancy trainers with all the fancy moves.
• Me? I’d stick with a crowd. Safety in numbers, y’know.

Now, listen to this, they sayin’ some folks are beatin’ this Shadow Raikou all by their lonesome. Solo, they call it. Just one person! Can you believe that? Apparently, there’s some new way of fightin’, or maybe it’s a glitch, like when the TV goes all fuzzy. Either way, sounds mighty impressive to me. Beatin’ a legendary beast cat all by yourself? That’s somethin’ to brag about, that’s for sure.

I tell ya, these young’uns and their games. Always somethin’ new, somethin’ different. But this Shadow Raikou, it sounds like a real challenge. A beast cat with sharp teeth, comin’ back for another round. If you’re into that sort of thing, well, go on and give it a try. Just be careful, and bring some friends. And maybe a Purified Gem or two, whatever those are. Just don’t come cryin’ to me if that cat scratches ya!

And remember, four is better than three, unless you’re one of them fancy solo types. And if you see a shiny one? Well, count yourself lucky, ’cause that’s rarer than a hen’s teeth. Heck, even rarer than me understandin’ all this Pokemon talk!

So, that’s the lowdown on this here Shadow Raikou. A legendary beast cat, comin’ to a phone near you, or somethin’ like that. Go get ’em, tiger… or should I say, cat? Just be safe, ya hear? And don’t forget to bring enough folks to help ya out.

That’s about all I know about this Shadow Raikou thing. Don’t know why folks are so crazy ‘bout it, but hey, young folks like their newfangled things. Just be careful out there and don’t get yourself hurt chasing after some shiny beast cat. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got some chores to do. This talkin’ wears a body out.
