In addition to being a portmanteau of ''rai'' and ''chuchu'', maybe Raichu's name is also a pun on ''raiju'', the traditional Japanese beast of lightning. (I noticed the Wikipedia article on raiju cited Raichu in the same breath as Jolteon, Manectric, and Raikou.) --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 18:15, 22 April 2015 (UTC) | |||
