Raikou

Type: Electric

Weaknesses: Ground

Resistances: Electric, Flying

Raikou is a Legendary Pokémon, also called the Thunder Pokémon. Due to humans trying to abuse Raikou’s power in the past, it is mistrustful of humans. However, it has an affinity for other Electric-type Pokémon. Raikou is targeted by the criminal gang Team Rocket, who mean to use the Thunder Pokémon for their own nefarious purposes.

This is my first Pokemon RT. /u/doctorgecko, could you take a look at it and give some feedback?

Looks really good to me.

The one thing I'd potentially mention is that Steelix does have some really good strength feats like this and this (though the second is the move rock throw, so it's not clear if that was done through strength or geokinesis)

Okay, thanks!
