Raging Bolt
Next, we have "prehistoric" Raikou, which I have to say feels a lot more cohesive than Prehistoric Entei. It doesn't really add or change all that much from Raikou, technically, but gives it an extremely long neck and a larger upper body, giving it a giraffe-like shape, though we know the intention is more of a Sauropod. More striking is that Raikou's purple mane is wrapped around this creature's head in the shape of a swirling "storm cloud," as if it's so tall, its head is way up in the sky. I personally think this looks cool and fun, though others find it too silly.
Raging Bolt concludes the Paradox Beast Trio, so here are all three for comparison. I personally find Suicune's the best looking of the three and Raikou's the most inventive, but even with my critiques of Gouging Fire, this trio makes the best overall use of the Paradox Pokemon gimmick and is a lot of fun!
