Raikou is the 243rd pokemon.
Raikou belongs to a trio of legendary pokemon, the other two being Entei and Suicune.
Raikou is said to be the embodiment of lightning/thunder, and unlike Entei and Suicune, is not in his own movie, though he does have a one hour special episode called "Raikou: The Legend of Thunder!"
Raikou also has a Giant Pokemon Center edition Plush, along with the other two beasts.
Raikou is available to catch in pokemon Colosseum (from the third boss, Ein) and in fire red and leaf green, when you pick Squirtle as your starter and beat the elite four. (appears at random)
Also one of the best pokemon out there.

An internet hoax to gatekeep anime from fake weebs. RotD was made by a creator after they were sick of people lying about watching anime, so they asked the internet to act like this anime was real and if someone said they had ACTUALLY watched it, they were lying since it's not real. It is said that the last episode was traumatic to say the least
Real Weeb: have you watched Raikou of the Dragons?
Fake weeb: Oh yeah, often usually it's my favourite! >w<
Real Weeb: what do you mean? Its not real
