I’m on a mission to complete my Johto Pokédex, but I’m stuck because I still need to catch the legendary dog trio. Unfortunately, I missed out on defeating their shadow versions last year, and I don’t really care for Dynamaxing. Plus, I don’t have enough local Pokémon GO friends to help me out. So I’m wondering, have the Johto legendary dogs ever been available in regular raids?

Yeah, actually. I’ve caught Raikou multiple times in regular raids throughout the years! Specifically, I got one in August 2018, then again in February (2019 and 2021) and even September 2023. So it looks like they do pop up occasionally!
From what I’ve seen, those are pretty much the only options we’ve had for the legendary dogs over the last couple of years. They really haven’t made any special appearances in regular raids since then.
Have you checked out your local community for Dynamax raids? You might find some players willing to help!
I actually mentioned I didn’t want to deal with Dynamax, but thanks for the suggestion!
