Biology
===Physiology=== Raichu is a rather small bipedal rodent. It's able to run faster on all fours. Like Pikachu, from which it evolves, Raichu has long ears and feet, and stubby arms. Also like Pikachu, Raichu has two horizontal brown stripes on its back. Its long, thin tail has a broad, lightning bolt-shaped end.

Raichu is yellow-brownish in color, with a white belly. Its arms are halfway brown, as well as its feet. The soles of its feet are tan colored. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outsides and yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl at their bottom-most point. Its cheek sacs are yellow. ====Gender differences==== A female Raichu has a smaller, blunted lightning bolt at the end of its tail. ====Special abilities==== Although quite small in comparison to many other Pokémon, Raichu is capable of storing over 100,000 volts of electricity in its body. If Raichu’s electricity sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take slight glow in the dark.

Raichu, and its evolution family, Pichu and Pikachu, are the only known Pokémon that can learn Volt Tackle. ===Behavior=== Raichu is much more aggressive than Pikachu, especially if it has stored too much electricity in its body. It needs to discharge this electricity through its tail into the ground, leading to scorched patches of earth near its nest. However, Raichu can sometimes be timid Pokémon, using Dig to hide or zapping people from fear.

It will constantly electrify objects, people, and Pokémon until its electricity level is back to normal. When searching for electricity, Raichu will raise its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere or plant its tail in the ground. ===Habitat=== Raichu are found in forests and vibrant woodlands. It shares its range with that of Pikachu. ===Diet===
 * Main article: Pokémon food 

Much like Pikachu, it's likely that it feeds on nuts, seeds and berries.

In the anime
===Major appearances=== Raichu was one of the four Pokémon causing trouble for Pikachu and co. in  Pikachu's Vacation , along with Marill, Snubbull and Cubone.

Raichu also made a cameo in '' The Legend of Thunder! ''. It was one of the Electric Pokémon that were lured by the "Miracle Crystal" that Attila and Hun were using. Raichu tried to be the hero by zapping the crystal, but the attack bounced back to itself. ==== Lt. Surge's Raichu ==== Lt. Surge, the Gym Leader of Vermilion City , has a Raichu that defeated Ash's Pikachu with its sheer power in  Electric Shock Showdown . After discussing evolution with Pikachu to match Raichu's power, Ash used a strategy relying on Pikachu's speed to defeat Raichu the next day. ====Other==== In '' Lights, Camera, Quacktion! '', a girl named Katrina decided to use her Raichu in the film "Pokémon in Love."

 Stage Fight  was about a stage show that featured "talking" Pokémon. Kay 's Raichu was supposed be a part of these shows, but it had stage fright.

A Raichu named Sugar appeared in  Cooking Up a Sweet Story , It evolved from the restaurant owners' missing Pikachu.

Another Raichu appeared in '' Pika and Goliath! '', owned by Sho. It battled against Ash's Pikachu in that episode.

The Pokémon Summer Academy has a very skittish Raichu for its students. It appeared in '' Camping It Up! '' where it was trained by Ash.

Another Raichu appeared in '' Sticking With Who You Know! '', falling in love with a Squirtle.

Another Raichu appeared in DP165 and DP166 under the ownership of Volkner. ===Minor appearances=== A Raichu appeared in The Battling Eevee Brothers during the evolution party in Stone Town.

A Raichu was seen herding Mareep in  Mild'n Wooley .
