When Should I Evolve Pikachu? (Leaf Green)
He's level 30, now I'm just waiting for the right time. When should I?
|
I evolved my Pikachu on Lv.30, simply because there were no more moves worth teaching him after that.
|
I'm waiting 'til Lv. 40, simply because it's easier to level up when it's a Pikachu, so I can have it at a pretty decent level when it's a Raichu. Level 30 sounds fine to me though, does it have Volt Tackle?
|
Nope it doesn't. Where can I get it?
|
You need to breed Pikachu while holding a Light Ball then after that Pichu will have Volt Tackle in its moveset.
|
41 is the best level I think. That's when it learns Thunder. But its not very accuate. If you have Thunderbolt then evolve it now. Unless you want Thunder.. Teach it (or someone in your party) Rain Dance.
|
It all depends on you and what moves you don't want to teach it. Both of Pikachu's main moves, Thunder and Thunderbolt, can be taught by using TMs. It learns Discharge at level 37, which has a decent attack power.

It deals 1/3 recoil damage to Pikachu, so it could be better, I recommend just using thunderbolt, it's an amazing attack. Also if you keep Pikachu unevolved and give it a light ball it's attack and sp. attack are doubled. But Raichus are pretty amazing.

All Pokemon > Raichu > Pikachu
Seriously. Both Pokemon suck in general, but if you want to use them, here is my advice: Raichu. The final evolution of the ugly mouse. Substitute / Focus Punch / Thunderbolt / Thunderwave. Those are the four moves that makes Raichu semi-good. |

I was seriously wondering how that happened. Now, I'm really wondering how that happened. |
perhaps becuase he got it from the wild ;)
and im not much of pikachu trainer but discharge (if its in lg) or thunder are both essential moves to me if u want a strong electric type. |
I think I'll evolve it soon.
|
Probably did.
Oh, yeah, I forgot to answer your question, OP! I usually evolve my Pikachu at Lv 35. I don't know why. I just get sick of training a Pikachu around that point. And 35 is about the average level for a Pokemon to reach its final form. So... |
Probably when it learns all its good moves. Then Raichu will PWN!
|
Never! pikachu hates to evolve! jk i would when he starts getting to weak to beat the enemy pokemon.
|
well, my Pikachu is at level 80 and have not evolved and he is very strong until |
When I played LeafGreen, I decided not to evolve Pikachu until it absolutely needed the power boost. Which for me was right before the Elite Four, must've been around 45- to 50-ish in level.
|
well it depends is u actually want a raichu as the result?
if u want speed on ur side leave it as a pikachu if u want power on ur side evolve it into a raichu now!!!!! |
Hey Dr.Garrison... :)
You know what... Take your time in that Pikachu. If you already have all it's attacks (if you think so) then evolve it. [*Just confirming... Can Raichu still learn attacks? Because some Pokemon do not learn attacks when they evolve using stones, like my Wigglytuff.] Well, in that case, a Pokemon is quick in learning skills when it is in its earlier form rather than in it's evolve form... *That's that, but i still prefer my Pikachu as a Pikachu. Throw away those Thunderstones! :) P.S. = Im not an expert, but i sure do love Pikachu! |

No, Raichu does not learn any attacks. Most pokemon that evolve using an element stone dont learn new attacks in their evolved form. Although Nintendo has been changing that ( for instance NidoKing and NidoQueen) |

No, Never ash and his pika are awesome together
|
Evolve the pikachu when it is done learing all of it's good moves. after that evolve it, it will have much more power in it's moves
