Raikou @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus

Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Snarl
- Calm Mind

It's time to introduce the Festival's premier Electric-type, Raikou! The Thunder Pokemon boasts an impressive 115 base Speed stat and naturally good matchups into metagame staples such as Scizor and Gyarados. Thunderbolt swiftly deals with Electric-weak Pokemon such as Gyarados, Azumarill, and Staraptor. Snarl reduces the impact of some of the metagame's scariest special attackers such as Latios, Heatran and Gastrodon. Calm Mind makes Raikou an absolutely unstoppable force, with a single boost letting Raikou 2HKO the likes of Hariyama and max HP Scizor. Raikou is often on the field for extended periods of time due to Calm Mind, making Leftovers the best item for maximum longevity. The given HP EVs are optimized to get the most Leftovers healing possible and the Speed investment allows it to outpace the likes of Gengar and Latios. Raikou appreciates teammates such as Gastrodon and Azumarill that beat common Ground-types like Garchomp and Mamoswine.

If you'd like to give Raikou a go, here's a sample team featuring plenty of the metagame's best Pokemon! https://pokepast.es/ed82a6592eb0204d
