PokemonRadar, Week 11
We revisit four from before
Pokemon Name: Rukushio

Classification: Lightning
Pokedex Number: 018 Sinnoh / 404 National

The sequel to a previous star Pokemon, Korinku, Rukushio is another fearsome electric lion Pokemon. Like Mukkubird, Korinku abandons his cute smile for an imposing grimace, and consider it fair warning. Between Rukushio's own intimidating glare and his attack and speed stats, Rukushio is a fearsome mid-range Pokemon.
