In Europe we've been saddled with entei as the new legendary raid boss. It's basically a tankier version of flareon, even though flareon deals slightly more damage.
Entei is in almost all aspects inferior to moltres which makes it pretty much a pokedex filler. If, in some kind of future, we're allowed to assign legendaries as gym defenders this won't stay true as entei comes with a hefty amount of hit points.
As a raid boss entei is, quite frankly, a joke. In the role a a raid boss entei can't capitalise on its stamina since all raid bosses in a given tier share the same amount of hit points, and with a very poor defence stat entei is severely hurt by this.
Five level 38 or higher players will run right through entei as a raid boss, and any constellation of seven high level Pokemon Go players will burn it down with a good safety margin.
Entei shares the same problem, of if you prefer, player benefit, as any other fire based defender -- a good vaporeon is simply too easy to get. To add insult to injury moltres and zapdos had trainers give golem a good look, so by now players have a very good line-up against fire pokemon. Add rhydon for players who invested in one since earlier, and entei is in for a really bad abuse.
What happnes now is that we're looking at a month with a decent inflow of rare candy with no new target to assign it to. Since zapdos had trainers scramble to set up a decent line-up against electric type pokemon, and zapdos in itself is the best electric type pokemon until raikou arrives on the scene, this spells disaster for both raikou and suicune when they're here as raid bosses.
One month is plenty of time to boost one zapdos and yet another golem for those so inclined. The first will go berserk on the water type suicune, and players are likely to be surprised when the eletrci type raikou puts up less resistance than epected.
The only thing that can change this is a really juicy reward from the upcoming invitational raids.
