Raichu is an Electric-type Pokémon, the evolved form of Pikachu, and is known for its powerful electrical abilities. Introduced in Generation I, Raichu evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. Its Pokédex entries often highlight its immense electrical power, stating it can discharge up to 100,000 volts, enough to knock out even large Pokémon. Raichu typically resides in forests and near power plants, where it can absorb electricity to recharge. Its behavior is generally more aggressive and less playful than Pikachu, though it remains loyal to its trainer. In the games, Raichu is a solid Electric-type attacker, often utilized for its speed and special attack. In the anime, Ash's rival, Lt. Surge, famously uses a powerful Raichu, showcasing its strength against Ash's Pikachu. Raichu's cultural significance is somewhat overshadowed by its pre-evolution, Pikachu, but it still holds a special place as the more powerful, mature form of the franchise's mascot. Its evolution line also includes Pichu, which evolves into Pikachu with high friendship.
