@Stryzzar: No problem, I'm pretty excited for Alolan Raichu as well. This is definitely a first for the evolutionary line, especially since Pikachu recieved costumes as part of promoting contests in OR/AS, glad to see Raichu recieving some love. Not only that but Electric/Psychic is an unused type combination.

So what's funny about that is that it says Raichu are able to wield Psychic power that is present in their tails and then ride them to float in the air. The people of Alola seem unconcerned with what caused this change to take place but their guess is that it ate quite a few fluffy and round pancakes. (What I don't get about this is that Alolan Raichu in fact, has lost a few pounds as a result of this change.)

Rubbing the electric sacs on it's cheeks causes a sweet aroma to be released but the mechanicism behind this is unclear. (Must be the pancakes. In all seriousness though, I significantly remember touching Pikachu's cheeks in Pokemon Amie resulting in a shock.) With Alolan Raichu's Surge Surfer ability, the Pokemon's speed will be doubled on Electric Terrain.

@Dark: What type were you hoping for as part of Wishiwashi? Yeah, I'm glad that that ability has been introduced because whenever I tried to play competitive, I always ended up defeated by a mediocre or weak Pokemon from the other team that had some sort of unplanned strategy. Although we did have Aftermath before this.
