Raihan (Japanese: キバナ Kibana) is a Gym Leader of Galar. He specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon, and his teams tend to focus around weather conditions.

In the games

Raihan is recognized as the strongest Gym Leader in Galar. His is the self-proclaimed rival of Leon, and despite a losing streak of 0 to 10 against him, is the only person who has come close to beating him. While he specializes in the Dragon-type, he will often use Pokémon of other types to set up weather conditions such as sandstorm and harsh sunlight. Raihan is often seen taking selfies on his Rotom Phone, a habit he initally picked up to remind him of the pain of defeat, but eventually this habit spread to other parts of his lifestyle.
