It might not have any actual Dragon-type attacks at its disposal, but this beefy creature has the defenses needed to make itself a lasting threat in battle, especially if it gets the chance to restore its energy with its Life Dew technique every now and then.įlygon: While not always seen as the strongest of Dragon-type Pokémon, this ancient beast can still make itself a threat with the aid of its Sandstorm technique to buff its Special Defense stat. This includes Surf, Muddy Water and Hydro Pump attacks, and the monster can go further with powerful Thunder and Sludge Bomb attacks. Goodra: This beast will generally rely on its Rain Dance technique to boost the power of its moves and make the most of the many Water-type attacks it has. This durable fighter can take an immense beating and prove to be hard to take out, with its weaker special defenses being the only part of it that can be readily exploited. This mainly involves it using the weather to strengthen its Fire Blast and Shell Trap attacks, while also utilizing a Crunch attack in close quarters and Earthquake and Dragon Pulse attacks from afar. Turtonator: Similar to Raihan’s Torkoal, this creature will rely on weather with its Sunny Day technique to power-up its attacks. It may not be able to withstand special attacks very much, but it can definitely use the weather to its advantage and make itself a nuisance if not eliminated quickly. This beast’s Drought Ability will act to intensify sunlight in order to both strengthen the power of its Lava Plume attack and fast-charge its Solar Beam attack, while it relies on a Body Press attack to make the most of its high physical defenses, a Gyro Ball attack to make use of its low Speed, and a Yawn technique to potentially incapacitate others. Torkoal: This reptile might not be the fastest of creatures, but it can still more than do its job to set the weather in its favor. As such, it is advised that strategies be taken to either shut his weather down or take out his Pokémon before they have the chance to really use it to their advantage. While it can be a risk for him to waste turns to change the weather, the effects can be drastic, and his Pokémon are all built to be able to handle a bit of stall time in order to bring the most out of the attacks and techniques at their disposal.

While Raihan might be a specialist in the Dragon-type, he is much more gifted in using extreme weather to fuel his battle strategies and will abuse them as much as possible to make the most of his Pokémon. This makes at least some sense given that Raihan has been at a ten-nil losing streak against Leon, but he takes this in stride these days, as he looks forward to the one day where he can take a selfie after finally beating Leon considering he has managed to knock out more of Leon’s Pokémon than nearly any other challenger, it can definitely be said then that this master of dragons and weather is a dangerous opponent to face in any combat scenario and an opponent worth studying before battle if only to have a chance at besting him at his finest.

Raihan is a sucker for selfies and his work there is actually quite popular, and while he originally only took them to so he would remember the pain of defeat in order to push himself harder, lately, he has been taking pictures showing off his training routine, fashion choices and the like, and sometimes will just take pictures of sandstorms, leading some of his fans to get angry at him. His skills are so great, in fact, that it is often rumored that he could easily become a Champion in any other region…but his rivalry with Leon has led him to still pursue him for the Championship Tournament, the act of beating his rival being more important to him that becoming Champion in any other place in the world. Commonly regarded as the most skilled trainer in the Galar region, Raihan is the kind of man that strives for victory in every type of environment, and in his case, has done so by adapting a weather-based battle strategy that allows him to make the most of nearly any battle situation presented to him.
