Ash returned to the Gym for a rematch after Pikachu was healed. He ignored Lt. Surge's advice on evolving Pikachu into a Raichu. In the rematch, Raichu was able to hit Pikachu with Body Slam but Pikachu was able to use two new attacks, {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, which were both learned before the rematch, before being finished off. As Raichu evolved too fast, it never learned any speedy attacks. Pikachu took advantage of this by using his speedy attacks to confuse Raichu. Lt. Surge decided to cancel them by having Raichu use Thunderbolt on the field. However, Pikachu dodged it by using his tail. When Raichu was about to use Thunderbolt again, it ran out of electricity which gave Pikachu the upper hand. Pikachu finished Raichu off with his tail attack before Raichu made full contact with Take Down. As Ash eventually defeated Lt. Surge in a rematch, it proved to him that evolved Pokémon are not always better. 

Raichu was seen again in a flashback in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'' when Ash was recalling the fun times he had with Pikachu, and in another one in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', where Raichu was defeated in a Gym battle by [[Otoshi]]'s {{p|Marowak}}. Both Raichu and Lt. Surge reappeared in another flashback in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]''.

Raichu was seen briefly in the episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'' of [[Pokémon Origins]]. It was used by Surge in his Gym battle against {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, but was defeated off-screen.
