Throw a Poké Ball in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game and you might get an Alolan Raichu from Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon! It surfs around the stage on its tail and rushes you! It’s pretty quick and can travel anywhere on the stage so watch out!

If a player trades a Raichu for an Electrode with the Scientist on Cinnibar Island, they will erroneously state that the Raichu evolved when spoken to after the trade. This is due to the text being based off of the Japanese version of Pokemon Blue, where the player trades a Graveler for a Kadabra instead. This mistake was fixed in Pokemon Firered and Leafgreen.

OR does Riachu have a secret evolution that Big Pokemon is keeping secret from us?

Actually, Pikachu was originally intended to have a third evolutionary form called Gorochu (from the Japanese onomatopoeia for thunder,) with fangs, horns, and an overall more intimidating look. Once Nintendo/Game Freak realized how popular Pikachu was becoming as a mascot for the series, they decided to cut Gorochu to keep the Pikachu line cute and approachable.

I knew Big Pokemon was keeping the good stuff from us.

Give us Gorochu you cowards!

He’s a Friend and a Boy.

Good red boy

…How are you supposed to react when you find out that your favorite Pokémon of all time has/was supposed to have had a secret evolution, that, for the last 20+ years, you dismissed as one of the many unbelievable rumors that were flying around at the time, but is, in fact, actually true?
