Introduced in Generation II with the Pokémon Gold and Silver games, Raikou embodies the speed and power of lightning. Its design is reminiscent of a saber-toothed tiger, with a cloud-like mane on its back that generates thunder. Raikou is known for its incredible agility and its ability to unleash powerful electrical attacks. It is rarely seen by humans, preferring to roam the lands, often appearing wherever lightning strikes. In the games, Raikou is a roaming Pokémon, making it notoriously difficult to catch, adding to its mystique and legend. Its role in the anime often portrays it as a guardian of nature or a powerful force that intervenes in times of crisis. Culturally, Raikou represents the untamed power of electricity and the fleeting, awe-inspiring nature of storms.
