Should Raichu get Light Ball
Publish date: 2024-05-27
Personally, I don't think Raichu should be given a boost from using the Light Ball. It's 100 speed spat is pretty good as it is. Sure, it's 90 Sp.Atk could be better, but it not only has Nasty Plot, but Lightningrod to boot.
Unfortunately, Raichu is a fragile speedster, so he'll need a focus sash in order to use Nasty Plot in the first turn, but even then, no one would want to do that because Smogon didn't recommended it, which is a shame. That's why light ball needs to work for him, but also give him less power compare to Pikachu's, so he won't need Nasty Plot anymore.
