Fellow Poke'mon of the Week [11/9/08]

Raichu Pictures, Images and Photos


Raichu is a taller, potbellied form that Pikachu takes when he is given a thunder stone, causing its tail to grow long and black with a lightning bolt on the end and fur to turn orange.Raichu can only learn moves in the Pikachu stage, so the only way to make Raichu learn more moves is by using a TM. Raichu can generate 10,000 or even 100,000 volts of electricity, enough to knock out Pokémon several times its size, such as a Dragonite, as stated in the anime. Raichu's name is a portmanteau of the kanji 雷 rai, meaning thunder, or lightning bolt, and chū, which is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a mouse's squeak.
