In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 585, Raichu plays as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Its standout stat is Special Attack at 160, while Defense (55) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Electric combination gives Raichu 3 resistances and 1 weakness to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 2 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
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.
