> Raichu gets a new form, new stat distribution, unique typing

It's NU instead of PU.

I mean, compared to most pokemon cucked in gameplay both Raichus are pretty damn beloved as fan-favorites. That it got attention at all from GF in the form of A-Raichu is an utter miracle.

How do we fix it?

>>32896771

Fixing it would require giving it a massive stat buff beyond what's reasonable of an early game rodent.

Also OP, don't forget they buffed its speed in 6th gen.

>>32896758
>>32896771

Who cares. Pokémon stats are non-canon anyway.

They moved 10 BST, that's not even worth mentioning.

They should have given it Levitate, which would also make sense of the psychic type instead of "LOL LE PANCAKES xDDDDDD"

They don't hate him, they are just clumsy.

>>32896764
The Smogon meta isn't finished yet. They're still working on NU, so don't be surprised the alolan shitrat gets to PU or even bottom FU.

>>32896848
The pokedex is actually a brilliant joke. You know why all the descriptions are ridiculous? Because 10 year olds are the ones putting the entries in.

Even though, its performance in battle is subpar compared to other Electric-types like Tapu Koko and M-Manectric. I love to use it as a niche late game cleaner.

would this make it better?

Huge power

>>32896771
"Surge Surfer" now works w/ any terrain type and +10 in Sp.atk

I still use it in VGC with Koko like it's day 1 of the meta

Raichu won Worlds last year. It's good supporting other 'mons.

It's honestly not terrible. Kingdra is NU based on usage, that doesn't mean it isn't solid in OU. Alolachu is niche, but way more usable than something like seviper or togedemaru. It just needs a koko for auto terrain.

>>32896848

there's no meme with him ans solgaleo?

>>32896758
Both formes are good in VGC

It's amazing in monotype.

Let the Light Ball work for Raichu too.

There are mons that play better in Doubles than in Singles and vice versa. Raichu is one of those mons.

What if Surge Surfer added the Levitate effect in Electric Terrain?

>>32898272
Then it wouldn't get the Terrain bonus.

>>32896942
I think it actually would, yes.

>>32898278
What if the description said that it still would?

>>32896880
FUCK

>>32896942
Game Freak would never rise its Sp. Attack to that number. They could rise it to 100 and maybe after a Nasty Plot it could be a decent sweeping.

>>32898250
This.

>both Raichu forms are good in doubles
Time to stop being a singles-only pleb, Raichu fans

>>32896771
surf as learnable move from TM

>>32898907
Raichufags giving up playing victim? Never in a million years.

>>32896880
I hate this meme so much, the Dex records the data automatically.

>>32896771
By stopping to use mons in singles that are meant to be used in doubles.

>>32900206
Agreed
Just give him Surf
That's all I ask

>>32896771
Easy, Hidden Ability

>>32896942
Still just a shittier Raikou
