>all single stage pikaclones are 400-ish bst, with somewhat minmaxed distributions to make those stats somewhat functional (no sfma here)
>all of them have gimmicks to (at least attempt to) elevate them further
>none are as good as 480 bst raichu, but all are better than 300 bst literal first route shitter pikachu
>'chu got two gimmicks tacked on later, lightning rod as ha and light ball to hold, but neither are useful in a playthrough, one of them carries over to raichu, and even with them it's still shit
>make a 430 bst partner pikachu in lgpe, never use that perfect distribution that puts 'chu on par with baisic clones while not outclassing raichu again
>got a worthless baby brother in "let's make everything shit" johto that can't even be caught in the wild in any game because pikachu is shit enough to be early route fodder already (and is popular enough to be early route fodder in every single game)
the entire thing is a travesty
