Why isn't Raichu ever allowed to be good?
It's good you just don't go on smogon and learn how to make yours good
>>30747968
It's actually good. You're probably the one that needs to git gud, op.
>>30747968
Better than WHIRRRR, at least.
>>30747982
>>30748001
Only because everyone abuses Tapu Koko
>>30747968
He was, and still is useful in doubles.
>>30748033
No, it is great overall.
thunder rod+encore+nasty plot+great speed lets it completely fuck over most electric types and then sweeps with 2.5+ spa atk

See >>30748078
and by your logic, a mon is shit because players use a valid strategy to maximize the strength of a certain mon.

>its an raichucuck squeals about his mememon not being the strongest pokemon ever made that can oneshot arceus and take a million hits from m-rayquaza despite being given more than they deserve from GF thread

> What is Doubles?
Both normal AND A-Raichu work in doubles. Normal has Lightningrod, and A- has synergy with Koko and Lele. Fake Out, Nuzzle, Encore, Feint, etc. Raichu is very good in a doubles format.
I don't give a fuck about it being good or not at competitive, why the fuck it still can't learn Surf, when the theme which he was presented with as a Pokémon is clearly surfing?!
>>30747968
It's great in doubles
>>30747968
Raichufags are the fucking worst
You don't even deserve the buffs you got this gen
Except that one time when it won a World Championship. Against Groudon.
