So why is this guy NOT Electric/Water? He's surfing. And the pikachu like has a big history with surfing (Pokemon Yellow/ Surf Pichu/ The anime episode)

Not to mention he's LITERALLY SURFING on his tail. And he's in ALOLA (basically hawaii).

Why is this guy not Electric water.

Can someone just explain the psychic typing?

As someone who hates this design passionately, I can assure you the psychic typing is one of the only good things about this monstrosity.

It's based vaguely on an episode of the anime, in which a Pikachu with bright blue eyes and psychic powers can sense the waves and the speed of the current before surfing. A reasonably clever idea.

I just hope there's something more to surge surfer than a speed boost in electric terrain. There probably isn't, but I'm hoping for a ground or water immunity or something.

New type combos should be saved for osmething that actually makes fkn sense. Like cradily in Gen 3. Rock grass was knew.. and it made sense.

But now its just "OH MAKE A LIST OF ALL THE COMBOS WE DIDNT USE YET! QUICK.. SLAP THAT COMBO ON A NEW RAICHU RESKIN! Even tho it makes 0% Sense"

That surfing Pikachu in the anime had some special telepathy to sense waves. People can give me shit for implying Game freak would care about the old anime that much, but keep in mind there's an increasing amount of young blood that grew up with the series at Game Freak now.

My guess is this Alolan Raichu has lower speed to compensate a higher Sp Att. They probably want the Stat totals to be the same for both Raichu types.. so that one doesnt seem WAY better than the other.

And the ability just fixes the loss of speed from his stat.

I have a theory. Puka, the surfing Pikachu in the anime, could somehow sense the intensity of upcoming waves. Perhaps like a psychic power. That could be where the Psychic type originates

Just watched the anime. Yeah, that's it, and also Puka just comes from the sea on a plank. Maybe he's from Alola. His eyes are also light blue just like Alolan Raichu's.

If it's any consulation, he'll probably still learn surf anyway.

>>27696859
I doubt it, they'll probably base the forms off which region they were caught in. So it it says you got it in Kalos, it'll likely remain a regular raichu
