{{pkmn|Raichu}} is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in ''Pokémon Red Version'', ''Green Version'', and ''Blue Version'', and is categorized within the Pokédex at #026 as the "Mouse Pokémon". It is characterized by its orange fur, yellow cheeks, and long, wiry tail. It is the evolved form of [[Pikachu]], and, in ''Pokémon Gold Version'' and ''Silver Version'', became the final evolution of the [[Pichu]] evolution line. | {{pkmn|Raichu}} is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in ''Pokémon Red Version'', ''Green Version'', and ''Blue Version'', and is categorized within the Pokédex at #026 as the "Mouse Pokémon".

It isn’t as popular as Pikachu like Pichu, but it is still an iconic Pokémon, even being owned by Goh in the Pokemon anime. | ||
In ''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'', several Generation I Pokémon received variations to accommodate for Alola's climate — among those was Raichu, who received an Electric/Psychic-type variation. Alolan Raichu is rounder than its Kantonian form, and has a tendency to use its tail as a makeshift surfboard while using its psychokinetic powers to float. This may be a callback to how Pikachu could learn {{iw|bulbapedia|Surf|move}} in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Stadium|English}}'', and how evolving it into Raichu would cause it to use its tail as a makeshift surfboard. | In ''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'', several Generation I Pokémon received variations to accommodate for Alola's climate — among those was Raichu, who received an Electric/Psychic-type variation.
