EDIT:
I have Raikou in my FireRed team. Here is its moveset:
Raikou Lv 100 @ ?
Hasty Nature
Ability: Pressure
I am not sure about IVs.
Attacks:
-Crunch
-Thunderbolt
-Calm Mind
-Reflect
Which item should I put on a hasty Raikou? And is this a good moveset? Please comment.

You really want a Timid Raikou but I suppose you've already caught it and it's set in stone now... the moveset you've got is pretty good Rene for 3rd gen.
Raikou @ Leftovers
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
Crunch
Thunderbolt
Calm Mind
Reflect / Substitute / Thunder Wave

Fixes in bold. Hehe, it's a great moveset. The nature could be better, but reflect fixes that.

Thanks, Alex. I choose Reflect for Raikou because it halves Ground attacks.

Thanks too, Anti-Pop Culture Warrior 13. Sorry, I put wrongly. And I mean which item should I put on a hasty Raikou?

Thanks for the Raikou moveset, Penguinpal6. But I don't know why Raikou can learn Shadow Ball by TM.

OK take that out for Crunch...
I just Realized Raikou can only learn it in DP.

Eh, its wierd it can learn a FR/LG TM only in D/P.
OK It learns Crunch over Shadow Ball.

Okay and is Crunch a good Dark move for Raikou?

lol, Crunch is probably the only Dark move it can learn.
And Crunch is the only good Special move it can learn.

Yes, I know Raikou can learn that. And in DP, if a Pokemon uses Crunch, it lowers Defense. But for FR/LG and R/S/E, it lowers Special Defense. Did you see any changes?

Weavile won't get a chance with this being 3rd gen.
HP Ice would be better... but the chances of it getting that aren't exactly high. This thing needs Calm Mind... then attacking.

Yes, I agree with you. Anyway, so is my Raikou's moveset okay? Did I need to change any attacks?

Penguinpal6, I've seen you post 4th generation rates in 3rd gen teams one too many times when the thread started has clearly stated that it's a 3rd generation team. Don't take for granted that a team is meant for the 4th generation but read everything the thread starter has written. If you keep posting 4th generation rates in 3rd generation threads I'll warn you.

Raikou does not need to buff itself up. ._. I've used a Thunderbolt/HP [GRASS]/Roar/Reflect Raikou on Netbattle and it worked pretty well.

Yeah, but it might have worked then, but it won't really OHKO a few walls. 2HKO yes, but I dunno, it might just be me with liking attacking power, but I suppose base stat of SpAtk 115 is high enough to take most things out.
