Prove to me he's not, new guy. Every chance they get they use him as a low tier antagonist. Not saying I dislike Raichu, but you're fucking daft if you think gamefreak is ever gonna show him any love.

It's not that they don't want to show him love, they just can't.

As soon as Pikachu became their defacto mascot, Raichu was fucked.

Riachu is good competitively. That's a good sign of love for it.

What if Mega Raichu looked exactly like Pikachu except with Raichu's colors?

I wish they still evolved Pikachu clones like Marill. Everything after that didn't evolve. I can't believe they had to make a smaller cuter pikachu to turn into a fairy type but oh my god it's so cute.

NU is the lowest tier. Anything in NU isn't good by default.

I always thought Raichu is the cuter one in the evo line. I do hope it gets Mega Evolution, not that it will stop me from using it if it doesn't.

Marill lacks the cheek markings to be a Pika-clone. Pichu was gen 2 Pi-clone.

All shit. Sure, they're good when you're in the lowest tier and everything else has been striped away.

All bad unless in extremely conditional situations. Hence, why they're in NU instead of UU or at least RU.

...the point of tiers is so that every battle isn't reduced to the same dozen or so overused pokemon, if they give everything a huge BST then what's even the point?

....Fuck it.

Pikachu doesn't evolve anymore. It's Pichu > Pikachu and that's it.

This motherfucker here now evolves into Raichu. DONE.

No, I don't care that it makes no sense.

Golurk is RU and almost entirely outclassed by things that actually get STAB on their main attacking move, like Machamp and Conkeldurr.

Alomamola is niche and counterable in every tier.

Ludicolo is niche and has bad base stats that don't hold up outside of NU because perma rain doesn't exist below OU.

Gorebyss is only used for a gimmick strategy that is fairly easily counterable in every tier and its stats aren't good enough for anything but NU.

Ditto is a gimmick that is extraordinarily easy to counter if you know what you're doing.

Stoutland is bad without sand and counterable in OU.

Walrein is bad without hail (RU and NU) and hail is shit in general (UU and OU).

You make it sound like everything that can be countered to automatically bad.

Golurk walls Terrakion and almost every single fighting type in UU. Typing forces a lot of switches. Focus Punch does 180 power due to Iron Fist. It isn't outclassed at all.

Alomomola's physical bulk is stupidly high and can take any unboosted physical hit in any tier. Scald, wish-passing is not at all niche.

Smash passing isn't gimmicky at all and can win many battles if done right.

Overall, it's pretty much you repeating "If it isn't OU then it's shit"

Why is so hard to admit that NU pokes aren't as good? I mean, no, it's not like they're useless, but why are you arguing against a basic fact?
