So double speed AND +50% damage on all electric moves.

The fact that the new evil team are bodaciously Juggalos fills me with joy. I unironically want to join team skull

Here's hoping Alolan Raichu is capable of learning Surf without use of a special event or whatsoever.

the fact of the matter is they're probably gonna give him electric terrain as a move he can learn to support this, so it stops being a specific requirement and more an upkeep cost.

and that upkeep cost is probably the only thing keeping it from being disgustingly OP. raichu's best possible speed stat (which is not hard to get anymore) is 350.

if you double that, he gets 700 speed.

for comparison, the fastest pokemon available currently is speed forme deoxys, who sits at a maximum of 504 speed.

alolan raichu is 196 speed faster than any other pokemon. he is guaranteed to go first with electric terrain, and then have a 50% damage increase on top of that.

it's gon be nuts

He's not really going first if he has to use Electric Terrain first though. You're probably going to have to build your team around it to make good use out of it. Could be very strong then of course.

that's assuming Alolan Raichu will even have the same speed stat as normal Raichu too - has it been confirmed that the Alolan variants have the same stat spread yet?

For all we know A-Raichu could have like 50 base speed or something, making Electric Terrain a necessity for it to be viable

Actually it's probably just going to end up being a worse Excadrill. Like Excadrill it needs a team to set up Weather but unlike Excadrill is it hard countered by one of the more prominent types in OU (Ground) as well as one of the more common Priority Moves (Sucker Punch), that's to say nothing of the fact that all Tyranitar or Hippowdown need to do is stick their head out for a bit and poof, no more Electric Terrain.

Of course if your just talking Single Player than yeah it's gonna wreck some shit.

I just hope raichu becomes useful. I always wanted to use one, but there was never a reason to use it over another electric type.

I used them regularly because they're speedy and a solid enough hitter. Just transfered out my old X playthrough to Bank; mine was level 75, running Thunderbolt, Nuzzle (he was my main pokemon catcher) Return and Rock Smash (for utility, for dealing with the occasional rock/ground type, and again for helping to catch stuff.)

So there were new Cockfighting Society revealed. The one that catches my eye is Crabrawler. I really like its design and expression, but find its name to be a repulsively lazy pun.

Why isn't Crabrawler Water/Fighting?

Come on that's so easy.
