Im mostly using it against sucker punch kinghambit
True,
volt tackle just doesnt do as much with raichu
Magnet raichu dies more no
Pika is goated don't let the haters get to u
Rai is just pika with better bulk but worse offense
4x effective btw
Guess whos a world champion and who isnt
Fr
Bro wilin over the same exact Mon with slightly different stats
It's literally the same pokemon. Pikachu just hits harder.
Raichu is only better because to trade down a bit in damage you still get subpar bulk and are able to hold a different item
But everything else is THE SAME
