The rain clouds it carries let it fire thunderbolts at will. They say that it descended with lightning.
Pokédex No: #290
Type: Electric
Species: Thunder Pokémon
Location: Ocean Dream Island (Pikachu Doll)
You’ll encounter Raikou during the “Brighten Things up!” request while progressing through the main story in Bleak Beach.
Once you’ve encountered Raikou in the story, you will need to visit a Dream Island that is unlocked by using a Pikachu Doll. This island has a mountain in the centre of the island, and at the foot of this mountain, you’ll find a number of cave entrances. You’re looking for a cave which takes you deep into the depths of the mountains.
You’ll know if Raikou is present because you’ll eventually run into a wall of metal blocks. In between the gaps of the blocks, you’ll can spot Raikou. Get through this wall by either squeezing through the gaps or by breaking the blocks. Once you’re on the other side, walk up to Raikou for a quick chat. During this conversation, Raikou will ask you to take them home with you.
Note: You can only visit one Dream Island per day, and you may need to visit the Pikachu Doll Dream Island multiple times before you can find Raikou again.

You should be able to spot Entei through a gap in these blocks.
Just like with Raikou, you’ll need to get through this wall by either squeezing through the gaps or by breaking the blocks. Once you’re on the other side, talk to Entei, and they’ll ask to see where you live.

Just like with Raikou and Entei, you’ll need to get through this wall by either squeezing through the gaps or by breaking the blocks. Once you’re on the other side, talk to Suicune, and they’ll ask you to bring them back with you.

You’ll need to prepare these as well as a Party Cooking Pot , some food as well as five other Pokémon guests to make sure Volcanion shows up. You need to his 100 mood (talk to DJ Rotom to check) before he’ll appear.
