How Raichu plays

Get ready to exude star power. Alolan Raichu’s Unite Move, Thunderstorm Aerial, creates a star-shaped zone where this Electric and Psychic type runs the show. The star-shaped zone slows and damages opposing Pokémon and remains on the field for a short time. If Alolan Raichu hits opposing Pokémon in this zone with a basic attack, its next basic attack becomes a boosted attack!
