Luxray or Raichu for BDSP playthroughs?

May. 12, 2022

I need an electric type, or someone who can use electric moves. and I can’t decide between them. Any other suggestions will be considered. Thanks! (I am leaning towards Raichu based on preference right now)

Overall, I’d suggest you use Luxray. It may not have as great coverage as Raichu, but you’ve got 5 other team slots for STAB coverage, as well as Luxray getting good neutral coverage against most non Ground or Electric types from Thunderbolt and Iron Tail alone. Here’s the moveset I’d suggest you use Luxray with.Luxray @ AnyAbility: Intimidate- Thunderbolt - TM24, Purchasable at Veilstone Department- Iron Tail - TM23, Found at Iron Island- Volt Switch - Learnt at Level 33- Crunch - Learnt at Level 56, if you don’t want to level up your Pokemon that far, you can instead use Bite or Strength as filler

A mixed attacker is better depending on stats and move-pool, Raichu has a good psychical move-pool so I would say go for Raichu with access to Brick Break and Iron Tail.
