Type/s: Electric HP: 323 Attack: 278 Defense: 208 Speed: 298 Special: 278
Weaknesses: Ground (2x) Resistances: Electric, Flying (0.5)
Mixed sweeper ~Thunderbolt ~Thunderwave/Seismic Toss ~Surf ~Submission
It's inferior to Jolteon in every aspect except for the fact that it gets Surf. There's no other reason to use Raichu in RBY besides using it as the electric type who can counter ground types. With that said, Surf, Thunderbolt and Submission give Raichu a formidable array of type coverage in OU, 2HKOing the many water Pokemon and OHKOing (on average) Golem and Rhydon. Submission isn't quite enough to 2HKO Chansey with, but 45-49% damage is nothing to scoff at either. Thunderwave is the preferred choice on Raichu seeing as you can never go wrong with paralysis and it might aid you in a sweep, but Seismic Toss has a bit of merit for the sole fact that it's Raichu's most effective way of hitting Exeggutor.
Other options: Body Slam over Thunderwave might generally seem counter-productive, but it can be useful to damage as well as paralyze an incoming Exeggutor or Chansey. Furthermore, when used on the latter it can be very helpful in letting Raichu score a kill thanks to Submission.
