Trivia

Sketch resembling Legendary beasts in the Scarlet Book

Origin

Raging Bolt is based on Raikou. It also resembles sauropods, such as the Brontosaurus (whose name literally means "thunder lizard"), and storm clouds.

It may also be based on mythical creatures such as the Qilin, who shares the Japanese-to-English translation with giraffes, further explaining its long neck; and the serpopard, a mythical animal resembling a leopard with a long, serpent-like neck. Raging Bolt may also take its inspiration from an archaic word for giraffe, camelopard, which is derived from "camel" and "leopard".

It also may be a literal interpretation of the expression "(to have your) head in the clouds", perhaps referencing the fantastical nature of Paradox Pokémon.

Name origin

Raging Bolt is literally raging bolt.

Takeruraiko can be taken as 猛る雷鼓 takeru raiko (furious thunderclap). It may also come from Raikou.
