Raikou questions

Is Raikou a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Raikou joins the collection from the Johto gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Raikou in PokéSurvivor?

Raikou is Electric. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Raikou be shiny?

Yes. A wild Raikou is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Raikou a rift legendary?

Yes. Raikou only appears in a distortion rift, not in normal waves or as a timed boss.
