Raihan: Difference between revisions

Raihan is the eighth and final Gym Leader of the [[Galar League]], and is recognized as the strongest Gym Leader in Galar. He is also the self-proclaimed [[rival]] of {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Leon]], and despite a losing streak of 0 to 10 against him, he is the only person who has come close to beating him. While he specializes in the {{t|Dragon}} type, he will often use Pokémon of other types to set up [[weather]] conditions such as {{OBP|sandstorm|weather condition}} and [[harsh sunlight]]. Raihan is often seen taking {{wp|selfie}}s on his [[Rotom Phone]], a habit he initially picked up to remind him of the pain of defeat, but one which eventually spread to other parts of his lifestyle.

In all battles, Raihan will [[Gigantamax]] his {{p|Duraludon}} at the first opportunity. In addition, his first battle is a [[Double Battle]].

:''"Now on you go! If it's the vault you want, it's up those stairs there."

*If spoken to again before continuing to the vault

:''"That girl's up there, too. You know. Miss Clever Cogs.

*After speaking to Sonia within the vault

:''"The tapestries in the vault depict the heroes of the Galar region's past."

:''"I suppose if we've got any modern hero, it'd have to be our Champion, Leon."

:''"Your goal is to defeat that superstar Leon. So go conquer Route 6 and train yourself up along the way to Stow-on-Side!"

*If spoken to again

:''"If you want your chance to battle the great Raihan for yourself, collect those Gym Badges!"

:''"You'll need seven of them - and the next one is waiting for you in Stow-on-Side, down Route 6."

:''"Let’s see, how many Gym Challengers are left? Huh... Not even ten, eh?"''

:''"All right then. <player>! Time to explain the great Raihan’s Gym mission!"''

:''"The rules are simple! All you’ve got to do is defeat three Gym Trainers that I personally trained—in Double Battles!"''

:''"But I guess I should’ve expected no less from a Pokémon Trainer that Leon saw promise in."''

:''"Gym Leader Raihan doesn’t simply control the weather. He also seeks two-on-two battles! You must be prepared for any situation against a foe like him!"''

:''"It might be impossible to pull off a combo going solo, but it’s not impossible for me to still win!"''

:''"Let’s do it... Time for our G-Max Depletion! The dragon’s roar will cut right through you!"''

:''"Pulling out a Sunny Day! Hah! That’s not a bad countermeasure!"''

:''"And you never stopped nattering on through the entire battle... You're pretty different from the Champion in that!"

:''"But your strength is genuine, as proven by the Dragon badge you won from me. You came at me with all the force of a raging storm, and even I was blown away!"

:''"Listen up, you two!"

:''"Battle your way through the Champion Cup tournament to face Leon! One of you ought to!"

:''"Especially you, Piers! The way you battled me in the Champion Cup... You really had my Dynamax Pokémon up against the wall!"''
