Mega Raichu X or Y?
Mega Raichu X
Mega Raichu X is a better Mega Evolution for Raichu compared to Mega Raichu Y. Even if Mega Raichu X is slower than Mega Raichu Y, its boosted Attack stat gives it better mileage throughout the DLC's story.
Mega Raichu X can use Volt Tackle to deal damage and use Drain Punch to recover lost health from the recoil. Both of these moves take advantage of Mega Raichu X's 135 Attack stat.
Mega Raichu X also has better Defense and Special Defense stats than Mega Raichu Y, so it can have more survivabilty in battles.
