How To Catch Raikou In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet The Indigo Disk DLC

Raikou is one of 25 returning legendary Pokémon that can be captured in The Indigo Disk DLC. Raikou can be found by first obtaining the item called the "Raikou Treat."

This item is available after having completed the main The Indigo Disk DLC storyline at least once. After this has been completed, players will gain access to a post-game NPC known as Snacksworth. He can be found at the Blueberry Academy entrance and will be the conduit on your quest to collect all of the returning legendary Pokémon. 

By completing Blueberry Quests either Solo or as a group, Snacksworth will reward you with various Treats. Raikou is a Group Quest exclusive Pokémon. Once you have the treat in hand, Raikou can be found around West Province (Area One) Southwest of the Asado Desert.
