Ash's Pikachu has been shown to be pretty powerful, so why not make Hat Pikachu a little bit like Eternal Floette, where its BST exceeds that of Raichu?
So, with that in mind, what stats should Hat Pikachu have?
>>31358373
85 in Atk, 80 in SpA, 95 in Spe, and Lightning Rod as ability (might outclass Raichu but not Alolan Raichu, anyways Alolan Raichu is UU while Raichu is PU)
>>31358460
Wouldn't that just be redundant? Light Ball gives it respectable offenses anyway, the new stats should be focused on bulking him up so it can at least take a hit.
>>31358373
I am pretty sure Eternal Floette's BST is 1 point short of Florges'?
>>31358778
Eternal Floette is 1 point BST away from normal Florges. Keeping that in mind, Hat pikachu should can be:
Hp: 70
Atk: 70
Def: 80
Sp.A: 65
SpD: 85
Spd: 114
Assuming Lightball works for it, the stats give it decent bulk and enough attacks to destroy UU and a part of OU.
Do we know what determines the different hats?
>>31359090
this except swap ATK and SPA and maybe give 5 of that SPD to SPE

>why not make Hat Pikachu a little bit like Eternal Floette
Good, so it'll never be released and we won't get even more anime shit in the games.

A-Raichu will drop to NU in due time, especially if GF ever decides to make Mega Man a thing again
>>31358373
Just make an electric pheromosa clone. It'll still be limited to light ball, but now you don't have to worry about being outsped by a whole bunch of mons.
Hp 90
Atk 65
Def 45
SpAtk 60
SpDef 45
Speed 152

It's as real as Hat Pikachu as far as concerned.
