Support Raichu is a Solid Underrated Pick Right Now | VGC Reg F

Raichu is not used much in Generation 9 Scarlet & Violet Regulation F VGC but with the rise of Raging Bolt & a fun tech in Upper Hand it got this generation, is a pretty solid support option. 2020 LAIC VGC Champion & 3rd Place at both the 2019 and 2022 Pokemon VGC World Championships tries out Upper Hand Raichu but is more impressed by its other options...

Thanks for featuring the team James! Hope you enjoyed it. There's a lot I would go back and change with the team if I could, but for the purpose of having fun with Raichu, it did the job

[@Mossbergg]

what changes would you make? I took your team and changed it a bit myself but im curious what you think about it. Its super fun to use tho so TY for posting it🙏

[@thebaseliner520]

I love how similar and yet so different James and Aaron are. Love the vids even though I don't play competitive

[@TheTJP195]

Upper hand doesn’t work if you’re not readying a priority move so even though your opponent conceded game 1 the upper hand would’ve failed into dragonite

[@wikipedia8193]

Only attacks :(

[@MrWicked187]

I thought we wouldn't have seen Raichu till Kyogre is legal but this team is dope!

[@Defaultnoobisme]

Raichu is my favorite pokemon it finally get attention again :D

[@guille-l4593]

Oh ❤ My favourite Pokémon since I was a child, ⚡Raichu⚡Finally we can see him in a good team

[@thejimcricket]

:) Happy Monday.

[@jackiedan2450]

Thanks, James

[@xdferocious6016]

Always down for some raichu

[@owenmercer7791]

@James Baek what is your opinion on a sand team with sand veil/ bright powder garchomp? I’m newish to competitive and am wanting to use non meta mons. Is this a viable strategy and what would be good mons to add to the team? Also any tips on team building would be appreciated.

[@cat8506]

maybe a stupid question but does upper hand only work against attacks or can it be used to cancel something like follow me, rage powder or ally switch

[@wikipedia8193]

Only attacks

[@scottcrysel]

Feel like i would covert cloak the Raichu or give it something else. Seems too frail to really have sitrus berry do anything. But otherwise this is a fun team to watch. Weakness Policy Dragonite really takes me back and getting a +2 tera normal extreme speed is just bonkers lol
