Pachirisuuuuuu, he's a squirrel how could I not use him! Basically he was a huge challenge to train, especially at first when he was losing to Pokémon half his level, but after sticking with him and giving him some attention he became a great partner to use. I made a point of using him to defeat Cynthia's Garchomp because I wanted to prove he could be strong enough, and sure enough with a mixture of moves like Sweet Kiss, Charm and Grass Knot he managed to hold on and beat that ugly shark! A lot of potions were used, but he came out on top so I was proud. <3

Otherwise no electric rodents are awful in battles but I love them anyway :D

[Cirno]

Hey Ozzy! I knooow, I had such a hard time with Pachirisu... wanted to use him in Diamond but it was so hard since he wasn't that good physically. ;_; He was always kind of hard to take down though, so I suppose he isn't too bad a tank. That's an impressive win! Inspires me to try using Pachirisu again~

And pshaw, I find them pretty good in battles usually. :O Emolga + Acrobatics = whoaa!

LET'S SEE SOME LOVE FOR RAICHU <3

Have you ever used an electric rodent in your Pokemon game? Was it fun or challenging?

Oh yeah; I remember using Plusle and Minun on my emerald game one time, and they are AMAZING in double battles (so yeah I used them against Tate and Liza :3). I mean, their abilites as well as their ability to use Helping hand makes them very, very powerful, y'know? I also used Pikachu in Pokemon Yellow, because, well, everyone used Pikachu in Pokemon Yellow.
I use Raichu for the majority of the time, since it is my favourite electric rodent. Well, it's moveset isn't "cute" though; I use Volt Tackle, Hidden Power [Ice], Brick Break, and Thunderbolt; it's a pretty standard moveset. All and all, I think people underestimate Raichu's cuteness though; and I hope that there will be more love for it. :3

If there ever is a chance I could get a Pikachu before the main storyline ended, I would drop my current electric type partner and switch it out for Pikachu. It didn't matter if that Pikachu was ten levels or more lower than my weakest party member. I just had to have one. Yes, I am quite fond of that little yellow mouse. It wasn't particularly difficult to train Pikachu since his attack stats weren't that bad. I occasionally was lucky enough to capture a Pikachu with a Light Ball, so the little guy dominated all my battles. Or when there weren't any Light Balls around, I'd evolve him into Raichu. Because Raichu also happens to be one of my favorite Pokemon. It's sad that he's often forgotten when compared to Pikachu. He needs more love.

Yeah, Pokémon Yellow. It was totally screwed up at first with Brock as the first gym leader and my yellow little good for nothing rodent. Actually, it was so long ago that I don't even remember how I beat him. o.o

[Cirno]

Heeey guys, welcome to the club! :D You've all been added! I remember using Plusle & Minun myself in my Sapphire game, though rarely in double battles since they didn't come up often. It was so fun though, and I found it so hard to box them in the end.

And aw, Pikachu is also really cute and fun to use. I boxed my electric type for him too at some point, and in Diamond he was my main Pokemon. But boy was it hard to use in Yellow... had to stock up on tons of potions and Quick Attack that Onix to death. D:

Anyway, time for a new topic!
X & Y will likely bring us a new electric rodent, is there anything you guys are hoping for?!

[tigerBLADE]

New electric rodent?

I'm really hoping for Chinchilla; sort of like Miccie, but, electric!

Oh, me too, me too! You took the words right out of my mouth. :D Minccino is my favorite non-electric rodent Pokemon so it'd be great to see an electric-type chinchilla down the line.

Going to add another topic so people have more to reply to! I got a little inspired by Megan's topic in the starter club so hopefully that's okay. Have you guys ever gotten a shiny electric rodent? Do you want one? If so, which one?

[PichuRules4ever]

I was in the original Sparks and Shocks so I'm definitely going to join this one!

Answer the Topic: Have you guys ever gotten a shiny electric rodent? Do you want one? If so, which one? Unfortunately, no. But yes I do want one. I would like a shiny Pichu. I might just ask my buddy for one as he is a Pokemon breeder.

[Hikari10]

I joined the last Electric Rodent club so yeah why not join again?

I'll answer two topics so I can catch up on what I missed.

Have you guys ever gotten a shiny electric rodent? Do you want one? If so, which one?
Sadly I haven't, but I really do want a Shiny Pachirisu one day. I love the pink colors on it!

Have you ever used an electric rodent in your Pokemon game? Was it fun or challenging?
I did use a Pachirisu in my playthrough in Pearl once so I could be like Dawn, and I even used Pikachu in Diamond so yeah, I have used electric rodents before. I even trained an Emolga for a bit in Black but it wasn't a permanent team member though.

[Wind Heart]

I think I'll join again because I was in the previous one.

I have used Pikachu in Emerald play and also Pachirisu in Platinum because I like them, and it's exciting.

Although I haven't got one yet, I would want a Shiny Pichu since it's colored like normal Pikachu.

I have never gotten a shiny Pokemon at all, much less an electric rodent. I would probably want either a shiny minum or a shiny pachirisu if I could get one.:D

[Cirno]

Sorry for the delay guys! You've all been added to the members list! ;P

Aw, looks like not many of us have gotten a shiny one before. ;_; I got two shiny Pichus after chaining in Diamond, though I never did actually train any of them. That's my boring 'ol shiny rodent story! I'd love a shiny Pachirisu myself since it's so pink and adorable, awwww.

Anyways, new topic! Do you guys have any favorite fanart of electric rodents? Feel free to share/post them! :D

[PichuRules4ever]

My favorite is Pichu Link. It's just so cute and Zelda-y. It's even my Profile pic.

[Cirno]

Aww, that's adorable! <3; I've seen that picture around before and always really loved it. This one is one of my favorites, just found it after digging through Tumblr:



Ain't he cute?!

[PichuRules4ever]

I love the last fanart I posted but I just found a new favorite. Isn't it awesome?



NINJA!!!!!

[Cirno]

Awwwh, that one's really cute too. :D Pichu is so cute and he has tons of awesome fanart. Just found one digging on Tumblr, lookie!

Spoiler:

Anyways, anyone else have some they want to show? :3

I have never gotten a shiny rodent. I would probably want a shiny pachirisu...... pink pachirisu <33 it's soo cute :3

Spoiler:

xD

[Cirno]

Aaaadded! Thanks for joining, Avishka! :D I sadly can't see your images since Zerochan doesn't allow hotlinking, though.

Anyways, new topic time~!
If you could choose to start your game with an electric rodent, which one would you pick and why?

I used a Pikachu multiple times in B/Y/FR. I always evolve them into Raichu for that extra stat power. I never really had a problem with them in the games, since I always had a plan for them and when to use them. Like in Yellow I just quickly train a Butterfree to learn Confusion to beat Onix, and Pikachu remains safe in the background.

An Electric hamster would be nice.

Have you guys ever gotten a shiny electric rodent? Do you want one? If so, which one?
I never had a shiny electric rodent. It would be nice to have one, but I'm not picky. Any one of them would be fine.

Do you guys have any favorite fanart of electric rodents? Feel free to share/post them!
Surprisingly, I have no fanart of Pikachu. Except for one, but it's a friend's original character, and I wouldn't feel right sharing it without her permission.

If you could choose to start your game with an electric rodent, which one would you pick and why?
Already doing it with Pikachu in my current playthrough of Yellow. Though it might be interesting to use Emolga, due to its typing. Never actually used one of those yet.

[Cirno]

You've been added, Asti! Sorry for the late reply; I've been a bit busy. 3:

And yeah, Emolga's type is pretty awesome and so far it's the only electric rodent with a second typing. Neat, huh? That brings me to my next topic...

What kind of second typing would you like to see for a future electric rodent? We have electric/flying, but are there any other combos you'd be interested in seeing?

[Dimitrius Shinamorri]

What's up, people!! Im Dimi. Cirno AND Hikari? This place is getting uber cool.

Partner Rodent (choose one): Pichu! Not any, but a Shiny Pichu! <3

Answer the Topic:Have you guys ever gotten a shiny electric rodent? Do you want one? If so, which one?

I have to take this topic cause its more topical than it hopes to know, but! I have just recently captured a Shiny pichu on my platinum version. I chained for it, took two hours. It was the second easiest Shiny I ever got. But geez, it is soooo tough to train. First off, I got it at lvl 22, so when I traded it into my recently started SS I couldn't even use it. Then when I could, it can't fight or even know any fighting moves. Its lvl 27 now, and it still doesnt love me enough to evolve into a Pikachu. v.v

i would like to see electric/ice combination. it would be interesting an electric/ice rodent..

[Cirno]

You've been added, Dimitrius Shinamorri! :D

Ooh, electric/ice would be adorable. Personally I'd like to see electric/grass or electric/ground, perhaps a porcupine. :3
