Not on singles, but definitely in doubles. Alolan Raichu gets Surge Surfer, which makes it a great offensive lead with Tapu Koko. Not to mention it has an exclusive Z-Move to go with that. Regular Raichu gets Lightningrod, and it's one of the only two pokemon (the other being Togedemaru) that gets both that and Fake Out (as well as Encore), which makes it a good pure support option. It was made a little obsolete by Togedemaru, but you could still prefer Raichu due to the higher speed and not being 2x weak to Ground. <cite>ZeldaTPLink posted [p:913575027] in Contest St...
