Trivia[]
- Raikou is the only member of its trio not to be weak to another member of its trio. Entei is weak against Suicune and Suicune is weak against Raikou, but Raikou is not weak to either of them.
- Due to a piece of artwork drawn by Pokémon designer Muneo Saitō, it is thought that both Suicune and Raikou were originally to be one "legendary beast". At this point in development, it is also possible that Entei did not yet exist.
