So how does this work? Do you give a Pikachu a Thunderstone and it'll evolve into the Alola version? Or will it evolve into a regular Raichu? Is there some kind of special way you're supposed to evolve Pikachu?
Thunderstone. The evo methods for Alola Forms are the same for the ones evolving from existing Pokemon and for Geodude, Grimer, and Diglett. Meowth is now happiness, Rattata is night @ lvl 20, Sandshrew and Vulpix are by Ice Stone.

Okay and do you give him a Thunderstone at a certain time because won't it just evolve it into a regular Raichu?
>>29812000
as far as I can tell, you can only evolve pikachu to alolan raichu in S&M
>>29811901
meowth is happiness? I just had him on position 6 the whole time and it evolved eventually around lvl 30?
>>29811901
Marowak?

Pokemon Refresh/Amie Affection is a different stat than Happiness. Happiness is a hidden stat.

But I think there's a trainer with a regular Raichu in the third island.
How?

Pokémon Bank

Does this mean the non-Alolan versions won't be legal for ranked play, tournaments, and VGC?
>>29813543
Depends. Maybe for the ones without new conditions, like Pikachu, Diglett, Geodude, etc.; you can only have Alolan forms with the Plus sign on it's stats.
But for the ones with new conditions, maybe you can get either form?
how does it learn electric terrain, who do I need to breed it with, I've been searching for hours.
Anybody found out how to evolve Cubone yet?
>>29811731
Can it learn surf/fly?
>>29811731
where can I find a pikachu, I haven't seen a single one yet. Thanks /vp/
>>29814040
Pichu's are on Rt 1
>>29814038
Nope.
>>29813986
The following learn Electric Terrain and can breed with Pikachu:
Manectric - Relearner/Lv. 60
Luxray - Relearner/Lv. 67
Togedemaru - Lv. 37
Good luck!
Suppose that's why RBY are compatible with Pokemon Bank to get the non alolan versions into the game
