1) Go to eBay
2) Buy an Action Replay
3) Find a code that gives you perfect catch rate
4) Catch Raikou
ALTERNATELY, you cold keep trying and trying for months.
$20 or a few months of work. It's just two ways to catch a Raikou.

Try using Quick balls when you first encounter it, that worked for me.
You can also try using Level Balls. Just bring a higher level Pokemon.
You're going to have to try multiple times in order for it to work.

@Scizorliscious: you nub, it doesn't take months

The key is persistence; you just need to keep trying. Dusk Balls will give you a 4x if you do it at night, so you could play your game only at night when catching them and just pelt the things. Or, if it's already in the red, pelt a Quick Ball.
You may want to bring a Wobbuffet and/or a Pokemon with Mean Look to improve your odds.

use a master ball, or quick ball. i just use my masterball.
That's just lazy
I mean sure Master Balls are all right, but if a flippant response to catching a roaming mon is "throw a Master Ball", that's only one down. There are at least 2 roaming mon in every game and you can't use a Master Ball on every one without cloning (which most people may not have access to). I plan for that contingency and just replicate the strategy. I'd rather save my Master Ball for a Pokemon that could kill my team in nothing flat if I didn't throw it.
I think a Pokemon with a trapping ability should only be used if its health is in the red. e.g. park a Wobbuffet and just keep pelting your Quick/Dusk/Heavy balls or whatever.
Using a Masterball isn't being lazy.
Not a lot of people would want to sit there for hours trying to catch a low catch-rate Pokemon with Poke balls.

DNA: i agree, it is lazy, but i don't want to deal with him. Have you ever used your master ball on Mewtwo? I caught him in an ultra ball or something in like 1 hour.
Yes, for the following reason:
Usually whenever I go against Mewtwo, my team can't survive long enough for me to keep pelting Ultra Balls. (Same reason why I used my Master Ball on Kyogre in Sapphire - it OHKO'd my entire team.) At one point, though, I want to try that without repercussion.
1 hour? You must have weird luck for Mewtwo to last that long...
@DNA: He said it's been bothering him for 5 months, so naturally, I assumed it would take him a long time more to catch it if he hasn't already.
Good job on catching the Raikou! I caught about 10 with possible stats/natures/everything else in about half that time with my AR. So much easier.
