Question

Luxray or Raichu for a Legends: Arceus playthrough?

Per rule 1.6, questions about playthroughs must be general and not targeted toward one single team.

Luxray has better stats but raichu is still good

Answer 1

Let's look at the pros and cons:

Luxray

Pros:

• High 120 base Atk Stat

• Easily accessible

• Passable Defenses

• Only one weakness

Cons:

• Shallow movepool

• Outside of 120 Atk, stats aren't stellar

Raichu:

Pros:

• Can be mixed attacker, or specialize in either Sp. Atk or Atk with equal stats in each

• 110 base Spd

• Wider movepool

• One weakness

Cons:

• Terrible Defenses

• Only 90 in each attacking stat

• Previous Evolutions are hard to come by in the wild and will require grinding

So with those pros and cons in mind, I would probably do Luxray, but Raichu is still fine. If you are willing to wait, some other (better) Electric-types would be Electivire, Magnezone, and Rotom, which can all be found in the fourth area. Luckily though, Eevee can be found in the first area which can evolve into Jolteon. Hope I helped!

I dont think luxray has a shallow movepool, it has play rough, ice fang, snarl, thunder wave, baby doll eyes and crunch as non stab moves/status moves just to name some!
