How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Solo players may defeat Alolan Raichu. Be sure to follow Pokemon from the above counters guide and suit them with the correct moveset. It is also important to power them up.
Along with Golden Razz Berries, the Circle Lock Technique is the most effective way to catch Pokemon. Despite, using a pinap Berry on Alolan Raichu will reward additional Pikachu candy.
