How do you get raikou in Pokemon Platinum?

Answer 1

There are two ways of getting this Pokemon into your copy of Pokemon Platinum.

1. From January 3 - 9, you can get a free shiny Raikou from any GameStop or EBGames. Here's how:

• Bring your DS and your copy of Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heartgold or Soulsilver to any Gamestop or EBGames.

NOTE: You must have obtained the Pokedex in your game and have no more than 2 wonder cards. If so, you must delete one.

• Walk inside and turn on your DS. Set up the game and on the Main Menu, (where it says your data, before you start to play) click Mystery Gift.
• Choose "Receive gift via Wireless" and you should earn your Shiny Raikou!
• After it has been transmitted, play your game and go to any PokeMart (except for the one in Veilstone City).

NOTE: Make sure you have atleast one open spot in your party.

• Talk to the guy in green and he will give you your Shiny Raikou!

2. You have to import it from fire red, or leaf green. To get it in Fire Red or Leaf Green, you must pick Squirtle and look for it.
