magnezone SF is better the electrive SW for getting energy back, just saying. I have used raichu since day 1 and really, raichu's really slow, the only thing you have to do is apply enough techs in your deck to make sure you can hit for 120 each turn (I'd rather just put in 4 life herb's and go crazy with RSL, just like what was happening with electrive SW). but even with those tech's I don't know if raichu can keep up with most of the top deck's. cya
