On the fence with my Raikou

had a 1908 and 1913 Raikou run from me. The highest one I have is 1895 (91%). It's a shame that I didn't catch one of the other ones but I am thankful that I caught one over 90%. My question is should I use resources to max this Raikou? I have plenty of rare candies, dust, and TM's to max it. Is this Raikou worth powering up? He would still reach over 3300 cp and he is arguably the most useful legendary. At this point, I don't think I will be able to get another one, at least not in the next few months.

Yeah. It's worth it, even if the attack value is the low value. Raikou is really useful right now.

Maybe when Gen 3 comes out it will be nerfed (by hook or by crook), but for now it's really, really useful.

My best Raikou ended up being 91% (14a/13d/14s), and I’ve taken it to 40 with no regrets at all.

Game press considered Tyranitar, Mewtwo, Raikou and Zapados has the 4 safest bets to power up https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/safest-pokemon-bets-gen-3

Yes, unless the Raikou has a crummy moveset and you don't have TMs to fix that problem. Raikou is really useful. Note that a 70% Raikou, powered up, would probably still be one of your ten best Pokemon. 91% is nothing to be upset about. Run with it.

Do it, the best that I have will not reach 3300 cp :(

You should go for it and make sure it has wild charge. I made over 40 raikou raids and have never seen one above 1900...my best one is a 1898 96% 13a/15d/15s one. I also have 12/15/15....Then I have one with 14/15/13.
Would you power up 13/15/15 or the 14/15/13 one?

You should. Overall, it is a very strong pokemon.
