Mega Raichu Y Best Nature and Moveset

Modest or Timid

Nature Stat Changes
Modest ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Attack
Timid ↑ Speed, ↓ Attack

Since Raichu is a Fast Special Attacker, it's best Nature is either Modest or Timid to boost its Special Attack or Speed further, while reducing its Attack stat.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Mild ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Defense
Rash ↑ Speed, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Raichu either Mild or Rash nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Raichu any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Raichu has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Raichu Moveset for the Story

Move Type Cooldown
Thunder Wave Pokemon Electric Type Icon 10
Charge Pokemon Electric Type Icon 10
Thunderbolt Pokemon Electric Type Icon 8
Surf Pokemon Water Type Icon 8

We recommend the moves Charge, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, and Giga Drain when using Raichu during the main story.
