Overview
Raikou is one of the three Legendary Beasts, along with Suicune and Entei. It made its debut in Pokemon Gold and Silver. According to in-game legend, Raikou and its fellow Beasts were re-incarnated by Ho-oh after a Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon died in a fire in the Burnt Tower in Ecruteak City. Other in-game myths claim that it was born when lightning struck the ground. It is said that it can fire lightning bolts from the raincloud on its back.
Appearence
Raikou is a yellow creature, that looks similiar to a tiger, as it has black lightning bolts and a white underbelly. The tail is a light blue, skinny tail with a star chape at the end, and Raikou appears to have a purple cape on its back. Its face is mostly white with a light blue "X" and a grey crests on its forehead. Raikou has long fangs giving it an appearance similiar to that of a saber tooth cat.
Gender Differences
Raikou is a genderless species, so there are no differences.
Environment
Raikou is seen to be on the move a lot, so doesnt have any set area that it stays in, but it is seen as a grassland pokemon.
In The Anime
Riakou appears in an episode, but is only spotted by Togepi and Houndoom. Robot Raikou's are also just by Gym Leader Wattson in his gym.
In the Manga
The Legendary Beasts are woken by Yellow, in the Anime, and they race to the Kanto, and Johto regions to find trainers who can help them free Ho-oh.
Raikou has also shown an ability to create storm clouds from its cape, allowing it to fly, however this has only been seen in the Pokémon Adventures manga, whilst attacking Falkner.
