Well fist have a Pokemon with mean look and hypnosis, preferably haunter, that is also fast. Then use repels and go into some grass, and if you keep waling around you should encounter raikou, Then use mean look on raikou, so it cant run. Afterwards use hypnosis too weaken it. Then spam pokeballs(Ultra Balls). I found mine on route after eucretek city, so I recommend going there. If you want to know where it is, you have to have encountered it. After you encounter it it will be in your pokedex and then select raikou in your pokedex. At the very bottom of the screen you will see something that says "area". Click that and then you can see where Raikou is. But knowing where raikou is only available if you-have already encountered it. Your best chance of finding raikou is if you already encountered by accident before, so then you can use the pokedex area feature.

here's how:
clone your masterball (see sticky on how to do this)
once it's cloned, fly to violet city with a Pokemon that is level of 39 or lower in the first slot of your party, as well as having several max repels
walk towards route 31 and use a repel. when the repel wares off, use another one and save the game. Saving the game will randomize the beasts' locations.
keep repeating this process and you'll encounter one. USE A MASTERBALL on it! now you should still have one masterball left
now do it again. Use the other masterball on it, and you'll have caught the beasts in less than an hour, not including suicune
