Raikou's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Raikou's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Raikou's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Raikou is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

Stats at level 100	0 EVs		252+ EVs		Base Stat

Where to Find Raikou in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

SwSh Mode BDSP Mode

If you're looking for where to find Raikou, you'll find the various methods listed down below, along with any notes or special locations. This should help you figure out how to get Raikou in Pokémon Sword & Shield. (Currently this does not show most "strong" static encounters or Max Raid Battles.)

Special Ways to Get Raikou

Catchable as a legendary boss Pokémon during Dynamax Adventures in Crown Tundra (DLC), level 70. Only one of this Pokémon can be caught and taken with you in Dynamax Adventures per game save. Keep this in mind if attempting to get a Shiny version of this Pokémon! (Catching this Pokémon but refusing to take it with you after the Dynamax Adventure is complete will still allow you to try again in the future, with a new chance of it being Shiny.)

Location information on where to find Raikou in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl will be coming to the Marriland Pokédex in a future update! Thank you for your patience!
