I was doubtful, but SubPlot + Focus Miss on this thing is actually decent. Nice speed tier, and can get boosts really easily because MUH VOLT SWITCH.

Glad to see someone acknowledging my favorite Pokemon. I personally like to use the Encore + Nasty Plot set with Lightningrod.

hard enough to get the little fucker in, and I want to be able to have options against as much as possible. Plus Blissey gets absolutely stung

I have used Encore on it forever, but switching to Sub was not only safer, but was much more important in priority the metagame. Not only that, its great against Rotoms or anything else that wants to use Sub 100 accuracy moves and getting a sub set up on a miss.

I just like to run plain offensive Chu, though I really only play teams my friends have built rather than Showdown or whatever.

How do you do anything without boosts? 90 offenses are pitiful, even just playing with friends. HP Ice only has a 12.5% chance to OHKO with a Life Orb and maxed out EVs, but 50% chance with rocks...

I run Plot/HP/Bolt/FBlast, it's usually quite easy to grab a boost from one of his less aggressive mons, or just run Chu as lead opposite his Garchomp and plot while he SDs.

Also his Chomp isn't perfectly IV'd, I think its SpD is somewhere around 12 or something, it's far more common than 12.5%.

Raichu is actually a pretty cool Pokémon, I might breed one up.

Is Encore worth it? I almost think it's more useful to trap a hazard setter or a SDer, Encore, Plot, and then sweep with TBolt and either Miss or Blast

Raichu is a fucking boss! Used him 1-4 and 6th Generation. I've always used Thunder Wave/Nuzzle + Electro Ball, I'll have to try yoru strategy when I get the chance.

I'd say it used to be, and it can have its uses...but I don't think so. Sweet, you get an Encore off. Someone is going to bring in a counter thats probably A) a scarfer B) someone 2balky C) Priority that will definitely kill the chu.

Plus, if you guess wrong on bringing it in on an SR/or set up move, Raichu is dead and thats the end of it.

i run one sashed alongside a dd gyarados in doubles with fake out, encore, protect and thunderbolt, the rare combination of fake out and encore lets me catch people off guard and disrupt them long enough to get a couple of dances off with gyara

I run one in Doubles alongside M-Blastoise. Chu has Fake Out/Nuzzle/Thunderbolt/Focus Miss and an Air Balloon. They work really well together and team preview makes it so that the opponent knows I have Blastoise so they always send out their Rotom or whatever first. Raichu gets a boost from Lightning Rod and protects his ally, while hitting back hard.

One weird thing I've noticed is that that on WiFi the opponents always tend to use Earthquake when my Air Balloon is still intact. I always get a chuckle out of that.

Ultimate Question: Do you prefer a Serious looking Raichu (Think Lt Surge's) or the more Silly/Cute Raichu that's in almost every game sprite and official artwork.

Personally I think Raichu should be serious in battle, and cute as fuck in Amie when it's just relaxing.

Ah man, I fucking love Raichu.

I've never used one though, even in main game. The thought that Pikachu is potential better than it really pisses me off, since it is a such a great looking little mouse.

Pikachu can't take a hit though. Raichu actually can in some cases. Raichu > Pikachu. Only babies don't evolve their Pikachu.

Not to mention 90 base speed isn't going to outpace most the big boys. Rai can hold any item and can outdamage Chu after it gets a Plot up. Rai has always been the superior choice.

I don't like Female Raichu simply because it loses the point on it's tail. It's like giving it a blunt sword. FemPikachu is cool though.

Because you're either playing Free battles or you have a shit rating.

Great for doubles.

Fast fake-out with lightning rod, paired with a pokemon that knows discharge is pretty nice.
