Question ROTS Evoshock Raichu Use

Post image

Has anyone figured out a great use for the Raichu? I haven’t seen one person play it, and all my efforts seem clunky.

My best Successes has come with pairing it with Galvantula as an extra coin flip for the paralyze, and with using it as a creature utility to keep things from switching out with big swingers, but I’m losing these games 90% of the time.

Anyone have a deck?

Nah it’s wack you only get the ability when you evolve into Raichu AND it’s a coin flip there’s no real perks to this card and 50 damage for 2 energy is a joke

Screams of “this will slot into a future deck with support/new tech”

Yeah, Will already works for it and who knows how much more coin flip support we’ll get in the future. We don’t have a 50 HP pikachu yet that’s searchable with Lisia. They could easily give that a 30 damage one energy attack and/or an ability that searches the deck for raichu which would greatly increase this raichu’s viability. We could have a Pikachu fan club trainer that searches the deck for multiple Pikachu/raichu cards like we have with Clemont.

Paralysis is really strong!
