If GF would just buff its stats to stand alongside the other high-tier Electric types.... It's the evo of the company's mascot. It should be strong. :(

For me, though, I'll always appreciate the little guy.

I'm going to pretend you didn't say that. For one thing, it has an evolution that would more than likely outclass it... if Electivire wasn't absolute garbage, either. If they didn't drop its speed and they had made it an Electric/Fighting-type, then it may have been good. But only for being a Fighting-type, at that.

But Rotom-W is a good point and the garbage statement that followed it doesn't discredit that.

As much as people dislike megas, I think Raichu genuinely needs one. There needs to be SOME reason to use Raichu over Pikachu with the Light Ball.

Fucking moron.

M-Pikachu
Reckless (Mega Stone is Light Ball, still doubles attack stats after Mega Evolving)
HP 35 > 35
Att 55 > 80
Def 40 > 50
Sp.Att 50 > 75
Sp.Def 50 > 60
Speed 90 > 120

It now becomes an atomic bomb, capable of destroying anything that isn't immune to Volt Tackle.

i lowered his speed, shit that was a mistake, but the raise in hp is because i always thought Raichu should be more about tanking unlike Pikachu.

It would go against what they've already said Mega evolution is. They could give Pikachu some sort of alternate forme all they want (like with the contest pikachus), but they'll never be able to give it a mega.

For what purpose? Who is attacking raichu with electric moves? I never understood giving electric pokemon that move. It's counter intuitive unless you're switching them in to take an attack or something.

I was talking about the best pokemon of the Electric type when I said high tier Electric types.

Whether they are good outside their typing is irrelevant. I just wish Raichu measured up to the better pokemon of his type.

It's almost like that was the entire point of immunity/damage absorption.

The main purpose is in double battles to protect an ally pokemon from electric attacks. However, M-Sceptile already fills the niche of "Volt Absorb pokemon in a double battle" really well, so giving it to Raichu would just be kinda pointless.

Raichu is already way better than Mega Sceptile in VGC since it does not need to use a mega slot for Lightningrod support so it shuts down Thundurus-I's parahax. It also gives Fake Out and Encore pressure, Feint protects and dual guards, Nuzzle and OHKOs most Primal Kyogre and Yveltal variants with Zap Plate Volt Tackle.

Doubles is pretty much Raichu's best format.

It was the first pokemon I ever loved, but I kinda left it behind with the 7 year old me 19 years ago. The models and sprites never accurately show how cute it is, like when it's drawn?
