Running Flygon as a counter is risky, as you don't know which HP Raikou has packed away, it could be Grass or Ice, if it's Grass, then Flygon could work, if it's Ice, then no.

Marowak may be able to take a hit, and Bonemerang Raikou's Sub, it'd deal quite a bit of damage, but then again, Raikou packs a huge punch after a Calm Mind.

Chaos says on Smogon that his EVs and Nature are as follows:

Trait: Sandstream
EVs: 252 HP / 190 S Atk / 68 Spd
Quiet Nature (+S Atk, -Spd)

-Focus Punch
-Thunderbolt

What is the point of 1 Def EV and what do you outspeed with 48 Spd EVs?

1 Def Ev doesn't really matter it just looks cool

Quite nature(+SpAtk,-Spd)

You outspeed Weezing which is extremely important because Weezing can't break your sub in one hit with 404 HP (101 subs). You don't need EVs in attack when you are only going to use focus punch. I prefer outspeeding Weezing.

I prefer sending it out against something that can't do anything to me (alakazam and friends) and then subbing on the switch

I got those EV's straight from the fellas at Smogon, so yeah.

The 1 point does nothing.

That one even has a different nature, so I have no idea what they are doing ^_^

In my opinion, Boah should be be neither Mild nor Rash. You want it to be somewhat able to take a Surf from like a Suicune that's at 44% or lower, cause if it decides to stay in and Surf you, you will have killed it with the help of sandstorm. From a 300 SpA Tyraniboah, T-bolt does a minimum of 38% damage to a 266 SpD Suicune — hardly anyone gives Suicune initial special defense so it's going to die to T-bolt...unless you're Rash, in which case, after your sub is broken, you stand a good chance of getting OHKOed by Surf depending on how much SpA Suicune has, since you're not at full HP after the sub.

Further, if you're Mild, then crap like Aero's DE can break you sub if it does max damage, and a 300 attack Snorlax will break your sub every single time with return/frustration. Not to mention Metagross has a great chance to OHKO, whereas with Quiet he needs absolute maximum damage.
