How to read teams with Raichu

This page collects Pokémon Champions VGC teams related to Raichu, filtering recent results by pokémon, competitive usage and availability in the active format. Raichu appears in compositions used by competitive players.

MetaVGC currently tracks 6 teams in this catalog. The first page highlights representative examples such as #10th – Sketch Academy Champions Regulation M-A Tournament — EeveeHeights, #12th – Sketch Academy Champions Regulation M-A Tournament — Qweezy, and #8th – Rookidee VGC Cup 2 — GrbgVGC. Each card links to a complete team page where you can inspect all six Pokémon, held items, abilities, moves, EVs when available and the Showdown-ready paste.

When comparing Raichu teams, look for repeated partners, tournament structures and the way players cover difficult matchups. Frequent names in this slice include Pelipper, Araquanid, Garchomp, Hydreigon, and Sinistcha. Those patterns help separate a one-off idea from a stable core you can test on ladder, bring to community events or adapt for preparation against the current meta.

Use this list as a starting point for building, testing and adapting teams. Copying a paste is fast, but the real value comes from understanding why Raichu appears on these teams, what role it fills and which moveset, item or partner changes can improve your matchups in the current regulation.

After you find a promising structure, open the full team, compare it with other examples from the same page and move the idea into the team builder or damage calculator. That process turns a list of results into practical preparation: you identify patterns, test variations and learn which choices are essential for keeping the concept competitive.
