Raikou is the electric / thunder dog of the Legendary dogs in Pokemon lore. The the three legendary dogs were created by the Legendary bird Ho-Oh after the burning of the Brass Tower. Ho-Oh continues to be seen as the leader of the Legendary Dogs and is the only being capable of queling a fight between the three.
While part of the Legendary Dogs, Raikou actually looks more like Tiger or a Sabretooth Tiger than a dog. It is said to be extremely powerful, can create storms, and even fly by creating powerful thunderstorms that lift it off the ground.

Catching the legendary Pokemon-
There were many rumors early on in Pokemon Go on ways to catch Legendary Pokemon. One rumor was that they were on top of Mount Everest or in Area 51. These rumors are NOT true.
Legendary Pokemon like Raikou can be caught when you battle in a Legendary Raid. A raid will appear with a 5 Rhydon symbol that denotes a Legendary Raid. Once the Raid pokemon appears it will be one of the Legendary Pokemon, if it is Raikou you can then battle it. If you successfully beat Raikou you will then get an opportunity to catch it. To beat Raikou you will to make a team of multiple people to help. No matter how powerful you are the Legendary Pokemon in Raids are very powerful (Very high CP) and require a large group of people with high level Pokemon.
