What partner my Raikou(Any one of these) to make it BETTER!?im not sure what to run with it...
 
You're aware that the Raikou on the right is not legal to use in a tournament, right?
Promo Raikou is a bit too impractical to use; you need Warp Points/Energies in abundance to really make it work, and it's unnecessary.
 
It's from Secret Wonders. That's not a legal set.
(Yes, we have issues because the non-shiny dogs in those tins aren't legal for tourney use.)
 
I did give you an answer, if you'll scroll up to my first post. You might be able to use it as an aside in an Electric deck (like Ampharos or even Lanturn Prime), but by no means is it feasible to use as a main attacker - it's incredibly frail.
 
I'd also try to get something to deal with your Fighting types, since with an x2 Weakness and 80 HP, Raikou can get KO'ed quickly. Like what DNA said, Lanturn Prime works against cards like Donphan, but also consider adding in Exploud from Supreme Victors, which removes Raikou's Weakness.
 
I've seen Exploud be to hard to setup in many cases. I'd say the only use for Exploud is Donphan, because of the rise of Gyarados. Lanturn Prime would be a must.
 
Yeah, I'm not sure this could be an adequate main attacker. 80 HP, bad weakness, attack for 3 energy that does 70 damage and not on consecutive turns...
I suppose you could pair it with Lanturn Prime, but apart from that, there's not too much.
 
Well, if you want it as the main attacker, I suggest using Unown Q for free retreat, and then using different Zap Cannons so you can use it every turn. You'll want Lucian's Assignment and Pachirisu LL (when it comes out) for getting those energy. Sunnyshore City Gym is a must, and Lanturn Prime for the late-game and Donphan Prime. You may even want Electivire FB Lv.X for quick set-up.


Pachirisu LL said:
Pachirisu - Lightning - HP60
Basic Pokemon

Poke-Power: Self Charge
You can use this power once during your turn when you play this card from your hand onto your Bench. Attach up to 2 Lightning Energy cards from your hand to this Pokemon.

[L][C] Buzz Bolt: 50 damage. Place all Energy attached to this Pokemon in the Lost Zone.

Weakness: Fighting (x2)
Resistance: Metal (-20)
Retreat: 1
 
If you really like Raikou, try a Entei/Raikou legend/Manectric deck or a Raikou/Suicune legend deck. Or, have Entei/Raikou as a tech.
Every year, they make the oldest sets in the current format illegal to create a new modified format. Secret wonders was recently removed after World Championships this year. You can still play with it for fun, or in a league if you agree to it, but not in any tournaments.
