Which is better

The one that doesn't get outsped by a fucking Caterpie.

Raichu
You could have Vikavolt at end-game

Who ever is faster.

Faster mons are always better.

A-Raichu is really nice for pre-E4, he gets Psychic immediately on evolution or Nasty Plot if you go from Pichu.

>>29905023
> Nasty Plot+Thunderbolt+Elec Terrain+Surge Surfer
UU at least

Assuming Raichu because of the speed. Is Vikavolt bulkier?

>>29905079
No psychic move for coverage?

>>29904914
raichu ia much cooler and doesn't have the speed of a drone toy

Raichu's really good in general with his added psychic and Nasty Plot.

Vikavolt is slow and shit mostly.

>>29905217
He only listed 3 moves

>>29905217
ofc but NP+Thunderbolt+Elec Terrain 50% boost is a pretty OP combo

>>29905492

2 technically, as one is a Z move attached to T-Bolt.

>>29904914
Well for one Raichu isn't outsped by caterpie

And with Terrains being a trend now Alolan Raichu conveniently works with all four of them.

so what's good about pikavolt anyway?

>>29905779
Good coverage speed sp attack and ability

>>29905023
Is Pichu available in SM?

>>29906050
Yes, I caught one in Hau’oli City and just let it chill in my party until it evolved and learned Thunderbolt.

>>29904914
Alolan Raichu. It even has an special Z-move that causes Paralysis 100%, but 95 SpA, low physical bulk and Sucker Punch sucks. (At least gets Nasty Plot from Pichu at Lv. 13)

>>29907429
Well that's true, but it still gets fake out, reconsiderable coverage moves, and outspeeds many OU threats plus is on par with the lati@s, so it certainly isn't something to scoff at as is can fuck shit up

How late in the game does Vikavolt evolve? And is it worth it

>>29907911
Level 92 and it's totally worth it
