Second move on Raikou?
So, bragging aside, I just got a perfect Raikou out of Research Breakthrough (my first perfect legendary AND first perfect Research encounter for that matter) and was wondering if it‘s worth getting a second move on it? It came with Thunder Shock/Wild Charge to push my luck even further (best set for it, I know) and pushing it will be obvious, and I‘m aware that a second Electric move would be redundant, but is there any use for Shadow Ball on Raikou?

Better PvP coverage is what it's there for. In raids there are better ghost-type attackers and Raikou serves better as an electric attacker. In PvP it could be a fun surprise, I imagine you'd catch a few people off-guard.
I have a Raikou with TS/WC/SB I want to take for a spin in Ultra League but don't know who else to include in the team. I'd be open to suggestions.
I think if you'll regularly use it for PvP the second move is worth the investment. In PvE for a raid generalist you're paying a lot for a move you're unlikely to use very often (it will be a very rare day that just swapping out to a different Pokemon in your team isn't a better/easier option). If you're swimming in resources though it's not the worst investment you could make
