'''Lt. Surge's Raichu''' (Japanese: '''マチスのライチュウ''' ''Machisu's Raichu'') is [[Lt. Surge]]'s main Pokémon in the anime and the games.


Raichu made its appearance in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', when Surge used it to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Surge laughed at [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] for not evolving Pikachu, thinking evolved Pokémon are always better. With its powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, Raichu easily defeated Pikachu.

Eventually, however, Ash defeated Surge in a rematch, proving him that evolved Pokémon are not always better. As Raichu evolved too fast, it never learned any speed attacks. Pikachu took advantage of this by using its speed attacks to confuse Raichu. Pikachu also dodged Raichu's powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack by using its tail to dodge it.

Lt. Surge's Raichu's attitude towards Ash's Pikachu almost completely mirrors Lt. Surge's attitude toward Ash. When they first meet Raichu doesn't have a high opinion of Pikachu, but after being defeated grows to respect Pikachu.
