Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

It's holding a micle berry, you know what this is for, right? It increases the accuracy of a move, which is why zap cannon is there. I had used this berry when it came down to using Zap cannon on a wild pokemon, and it hit with high accuracy. What do you think I should do with this set (to change anything if it needs changing) or should I keep it as is?

Is this intended for competitive? If so, EVs, Nature and IVs will be necessary. Get rid of Extremespeed, Raikou's physical Attack pales in comparison to its Special Attack. Sadly, Raikou doesn't have much in the way of Special Attacks. :| Calm Mind is a decent option, boosting its SpAtk to better levels and giving it some bulk on the special side. Zap Cannon is still unreliable, and the hold item slot can be better used, so Thunderbolt is a solid STAB choice (perhaps Thunder if being used on a Rain team). Weather Ball is inconsistent as it is only usable in a Weather condition, so replace it with Shadow Ball, which provides excellent coverage along with Aura Sphere and Thunderbolt. Even if it's not intended for competitive play, if you intend to use it for the Frontier, it should still be at least close to competitive levels because of all the hax in there >_>

But if it's purely for ingame, then lol, anything works ingame

Yeah, I tried using Zap Cannon on this guy without the aid of a micle berry (it was decent), but it didn't hit most of the time, which is to be expected for such an inaccurate move. I will consider your post as people have suggested that I ditch zap cannon on this guy in favor of more accurate moves like Thunderbolt and Thunder (for the reasons you said). I must say that this IS for in game for now. I wouldn't know if this would be anything good in anything competitive because I haven't used this guy outside the game.

Thanks for the suggestions, Raven!

Yeah, if I ran a Raikou I'd go for 252 EVs SpAtk/Speed, 6 in HP or SpDef, and run TBolt/Aura Sphere/Shadow Ball/Calm Mind. If I recall correctly, Fighting and Ghost combined are unresisted by anything, and TBolt provides solid STAB and hits plenty of stuff for SE that Fighting and Ghost wouldn't hit SE. Calm Mind boosts SpAtk to impressive levels and should allow you to take a couple of special attacks. That event was good news for Raikou, Aura Sphere was an excellent addition to his rather shallow movepool.

I just noticed the initial move list is the exact same from the event Raikou.

And yeah, Fighting + Ghost is unresisted.

I'd replace Zap Cannon with something more accurate and get rid of Extremespeed, since Raikou has much better Sp. Attack then physical Attack. Also, it's fast enough as it is, I doubt it really needs Extremespeed. If you go with Rain Dance and Thunder, you'll get 100% accuracy for Thunder as well as making Weather Ball a Water-Type move.
