Known as the Mouse Pokémon, Raichu is distinguished by its long, thin tail which it uses as a ground to discharge excess electricity, preventing it from shocking itself. These powerful electric surges can reach up to 100,000 volts, making Raichu a formidable opponent. In the wild, Raichu often inhabit forests and grasslands, building nests in trees where they can safely store and generate electricity. Their diet primarily consists of berries and fruits, which they often char with electricity before eating. Raichu plays a significant role in the Pokémon anime, often appearing as a rival to Ash's Pikachu, most notably with Lt. Surge's Raichu. Its evolution from the iconic Pikachu gives it a special place in the hearts of many fans, representing a choice between cuteness and raw power. Despite its strength, it maintains a playful demeanor, often seen nuzzling its trainer.
