RU Raikou

Raikou @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Scald
- Aura Sphere

Raikou descends onto the scene! With great Special Attack and Speed and colorful coverage moves, Raikou is an excellent setup sweeper. Offensive and defensive foes alike such as Galarian Zapdos, Slowbro, and Suicune are shocked by its powerful Thunderbolt, while Ground-types like Krookodile, Hippowdon, and Rhyperior are boiled by Scald. Aura Sphere blasts Cyclizar and Steel-types like Hisuian Goodra and Bisharp. Calm Mind allows Raikou to OHKO threats like Krookodile and Mamoswine and reduces the damage taken from faster foes like Noivern and Choice Scarf users like Gardevoir and Hisuian Zoroark, setting it up to potentially sweep. Tera Water removes Raikou's Ground-type weakness and boosts the power of Scald, helping it OHKO the likes of Krookodile and Mamoswine as well as Hippowdon at +1. Bulkier teams appreciate Raikou's ability to act as a wincon while still putting out offensive pressure when it's unboosted; Fire-type partners like Volcanion appreciate Raikou pressuring Water-types like Slowbro and Empoleon, and in return, Volcanion can threaten walls to Raikou like Amoonguss and Wo-Chien.

Offensive and defensive foes alike such as Galarian Zapdos, Slowbro, and Suicune are shocked by its powerful Thunderbolt, while Ground-types like Krookodile, Hippowdon, and Rhyperior are boiled by Scald. Aura Sphere blasts Cyclizar and Steel-types like Hisuian Goodra and Bisharp. Calm Mind allows Raikou to OHKO threats like Krookodile, Mamoswine, and Cyclizar, Cyclizar is almost always AV so +1 usually doesn't allow an OHKO and reduces the damage taken from faster foes like Noivern and Choice Scarf users like Gardevoir and Hisuian Zoroark, setting it up to potentially sweep. Tera Water removes Raikou's Ground-type weakness and boosts the power of Scald, helping it survive attacks from Don't need to survive attacks from them if you outspeed and OHKO (except for scarf krook but no need to mention it specifically) and OHKO the likes Krookodile, Mamoswine, and Hippowdon Hippo requires +1 to OHKO. Bulkier teams appreciate Raikou's ability to act as a wincon while still putting out offensive pressure while unboosted; Briefly precede this Volcanion segment by saying Fire-type partners go well with Raikou with Volcanion being an example Volcanion appreciates Raikou pressuring Water-types like Slowbro and Empoleon, while in return, Volcanion can threaten walls to Raikou like Amoonguss and Wo-Chien.
