Build Notes

Lightning Rod redirects all Electric moves to Raichu. Removing Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, and Volt Switch threats from Mega Charizard Y, which is doubly weak to Electric. Volt Switch pivots safely after redirect turns. Knock Off strips held items at critical moments including Choice Scarves. Encore locks opponents into a move for momentum advantage. Fake Out flinches key threats on the lead turn. Significant Defense investment and Sitrus Berry make Raichu durable despite normally low bulk. Timid with maxed Speed ensures Encore and Fake Out land before opponents can react, maximizing the disruption window.
