In-Depth Analysis
Raichu totals 485 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Speed (110) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Defense (50).
Its Electric, Psychic typing leaves Raichu with 4 weaknesses against 5 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 4 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 75 puts Raichu in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
