3:27:02I don't think raichu learns anything
3:27:17Volt Tackle is an egg move I think
3:27:25Stay as a Pikachu for now, it's fine. Until you learn Thunderbolt and such. Then evolve it.
3:27:36this team does not need another electric type
3:27:37egg move only with light ball breeding
3:27:42spark at 26 and Nuzzle at 29. Thunderbolt isn't until 42.
3:27:43he's distracting the ranchers
3:27:52volt tackle is not only an egg move but you also need a light ball
3:27:54@LordTyrian93 does pikachu still learn thunderbolt at lv 24?
3:28:01is evolving raichu kind of like an "Alakazam can't learn psychic but kadabra can" kind of situation?
3:28:12Wow, it's much later in this gen, then. It came much earlier in Pokemon Yellow.
3:28:19back in my day pikachu learned thunderbolt at lv 24
3:28:27isn't thunderbolt a TM in this game
3:28:30learns Thunderbolt later now
3:28:30Raichu doesn't actually learn moves so Pikachu til 42
3:28:34I dunno I always prefer speed but balance is good
3:28:46ah, pokemon can't learn moves after you use a stone to evolve them. or at least that's how it used to be.
3:28:52Pokemon evolved with stones don't learn new moves right?
3:28:57This game is prob generous with TMs anyway, so ig you can just evolve to Raichu, then.
3:29:03isn't thunderbolt always an easily accessible TM?
3:29:03that's how it is in every generation lol
3:29:07usually pretty hard for slow mons to run away
3:29:15Correct. only the Nido lines and they don't learn much
3:29:20in the anime, lt surge lost because he evolved his raichu too early
3:29:22the slower your lead Pokemon is compared to the wild Pokemon encounter the harder it is to flee
3:29:25thunderbolt isn't always EASILY accessible
3:29:27@sullisez yeah I think I just waited and went to move relearner
3:29:30if you get a raichu be sure to say "give em duh dunduhbolt raichu"
3:29:37Nidoking learns megahorn only as a nidoking
3:29:45alolan raichu learns psychic upon evolution which is a great move
