Overview

Raichu is a very lively Pokémon that is able to obliterate all opponents through his high AoE damage output. He can also inflict Paralyze and massively boost his own Speed, making sure he can keep up a constant stream of attacks against his weakened enemies.

Strengths

Leaving them Shocked

Discharge is Raichu’s main offensive move and it’s easy to understand why. Its AoE Damage allows Raichu to quickly wipe out multiple opponents. Furthermore, it’s highly effective when magnified by Sp.Atk boosts like Hau & Raichu's own X Sp.Atk. Lastly, Discharge has a moderate chance to inflict Paralysis to each Pokémon it hits. With Raichu's speed and th AoE nature of Discharge, this adds up to a significant chance to leave one or more enemy Pokémon Paralyzed quite fast.

Eat my Dust!

Raichu is naturally quite fast, and “Feel the Alolan Breeze!” boosts his Speed even further, potentially making Raichu one of the fastest Pokémon in the game. It also increases his Evasiveness, which helps with his otherwise low durability.
