Introduced in Generation I, Raichu is known for its powerful electrical attacks and its ability to store immense amounts of electricity within its body. Its long, slender tail acts as a grounding rod, protecting it from its own high voltage. Raichu typically resides in forests and near power plants, where it can easily access electrical energy. In the wild, Raichu are generally docile but can become aggressive if their territory is threatened. They communicate through electrical pulses and are often seen in small family groups. While Pikachu gained global fame as the franchise mascot, Raichu holds a special place among fans who appreciate its more mature and powerful design. Its evolution from Pikachu often symbolizes growth and increased strength in the Pokémon world, and it has appeared in numerous episodes of the anime, often showcasing its impressive speed and electric prowess in battles. The type matchups for Raichu are typical for an Electric-type, being strong against Flying and Water types, while being weak to Ground types.
