Raikou

Electric
Available for SV SWSH BDSP
Order Raikou — free

Raikou is an Electric-type Pokémon (National Dex #243) with a high stat total of 580. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield and BDSP, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Sp. Atk at 115, which makes it a fast, hard-hitting sweeper. Special Attack outweighs Attack by a clear margin, so Modest or Timid with a special move set is the natural build. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Raikou takes super-effective damage from Ground. It resists Electric, Flying, Steel. Its ability options are Pressure, Inner Focus, and you choose which one your copy carries.

In-game, Raikou has 12 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (1), Sword & Shield (10), BDSP (1) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Raikou ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
