Alolan Raichu proves itself at the 2017 Pokémon World Championships

Competitive Pokémon Sun and Moon players Alvin Hidayat, Rajan Bal and Robbie Moore made it to the second day of competing at the 2017 Pokémon World Championships by earning at least five wins, and Moore was just a single game away from doing the same. Their team – Alolan Raichu, Tapu Koko, Metagross, Salamence, Snorlax and Clefairy – managed to plow through the first few rounds with ease.

The Raichu-led Pokémon team operated by setting up Electric Terrain with Tapu Koko, Raichu gets a massive speed-boost thanks to its Surge Surfer ability. Then, by using its unique Z-move, Stoked Sparksurfer, it can do huge damage and have a 100 percent chance to paralyze its opponent. It also has access to utilize moves such as Fake Out and Encore which can stop opposing Pokémon in their tracks. Finally, with addition of Hidden Power Fire, the combo works as a perfect answer for the ever-deadly Kartana. To learn more about this strategy, click here.
