Raichu isn't strong enough, Pikachu needs a thunderstorm

>>32923534
Lightball now works on Raichu and gives a X1.1 speed buff too.

To buff Pikachu again...

-5 Atk
+5 Def

New ability, Pika Power, doubles Pikachu's Atk and Sp. Atk

That way it can hold its Z-Crystals without losing the Light Ball boost

>>32923500
Primal Pikachu
Electric/God
Ability: Light of God: Enemies hit by Electric Attacks are instantly KO'd
SpA: raised by 600
Primal Thunder 99/99 PP
Electric
300 Damage, Pokemon hit by Primal Thunder are instantly KO'd, Paralyzed, Burned, Frozen, Poisoned, and Put to Sleep.

>>32923551
What made game freak think that sprinkling a paltry 10 to each of Pikachu's fucking defenses of all things would make people use it more?

>waste those boost on its useless bulk
>boost also Raichu's stats
>+10 in Speed to still being better than Pikachu
They might be idiots but they know that Raichu is a better Pikachu.

>>32923579
god type is immune to earthquake idiot

>>32923807
>Face
Because some retarded kids thought it was cute and funny and thanks to it other underused pokemon get fuckall screentime. There are over 700 something pokemon, they need to stop shilling 1.

>>32924568

We both know it's impossible to give all the monsters equal treatment in a series with over 800

Some are naturally going to become more famous and more popular than others, like how Goombas and Koopas are the most famous Mario enemies

>>32923539
does pikachu still outdo raichu competitively or did that fix things?

>>32927110
Raichu is far better.

If he had to hold light ball in order to use 10mil volts then he'd be slightly less shitty.

Change the cap Pikachu stats to this :

HP : 70
ATK : 110
DEF : 70
SPA : 110
SPD : 70
SPE : 125
BST : 555
(Obviously the light ball don't work on it)

>>32923807
>thunder jolt
>not thunder shock

Stop trying to make a Glassy Speedster (who isn't even that fast thanks to Speed Creep) with little to no offense be viable, for one.

Removing it

>>32923500
buffing its speed to about 110 should work, giving it a slight buff to its atk and spa should be fine, light ball doubles its atk and spa anyways

Actually allow you to keep the forms they make up for it and its prevo

Cosplay pikachu was actually usable and fun to have on a team

give pichu pikachus stats pikachu raichus stats and give raichu a few extra stats.

>>32923500
Impossible due to being a mono electric type on a game where offensive mono types are shit.

>>32924568
You know it's impossible to give all 800+ equal treatment.

Besides, the ones they pretty much "shill" are Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Eevee line, Meowth, Charizard, Mewtwo, Wobbuffet, Lucario, and now Greninja is on that list.

>>32923500
Switch the mascot to charizard instead :)
And now I sit back, relax, and watch as the shitstorm of death threats commences

>>32923500
Give it a mega or something

Is it viable?

It's happening again. This is the shelter

>>32923500
keep the thread afloat, mods, get over here

>>32923500
Light ball doubles all stats including HP

>>32923500
Just make it so the pikachu Z crystal acts like a light ball and maybe 10 more speed.

>>32930910
Add can't be knocked off and counts as a Pikanium-Z and it MIGHT be a start.

By making raichu an actual better fucking pokemon, how many times do we go through this shot gamefreak

If you want a fucking physical pikachu, than give him a good decent non fucking recoil physical electric move Jesus christ, why does wild charge give recoil but only does 90 base power, shit move for the fuckin recoil

Make raichu's fucking sp atk actually worthy, not just like 20+ from what pikachu has

Fuck pikachu and everything it stands for

I'm so tilted about pikachu

As long as Pikachu is with its OT when it reaches 100, it gains a boost to its stats to bring it up to 600 BST. If it evolves, gets traded, or gets boxed, it loses those bonus stats permanently. These stats are temporarily disabled in online play except with friends on your friend list.

>Everyone is now mad at me LOL

crickets chirping...

Bo

Honestly leave pikachu as is. A fun to use, not OP popular Pokémon teammate is always better than OP ash-greninja

>>32930996
It's telling that Raichu's best as a max speed max sp attack disrupter with sweet kiss, t wave, fake out and volt switch.

>>32931061
Nah nah
Air balloon
Encore
Nasty Plot
Thunderbolt
Grass Knot/hidden power grass
Switch in on an earthquake, encore them get free nasty plot setup and sweep.

Thunder Jolt is the name of Pikachu's B attack in Smash
