Monotype Alolan Raichu (Nasty Plot) Electric Monotype

[Harpp]

Raichu-Alola @ Aloraichium Z
Ability: Surge Surfer
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic
- Focus Blast

Nasty Plot turns Alolan Raichu into a real offensive threat, increasing its mediocre Special Attack to crazy levels. Due to its poor bulk, Alolan Raichu should set up Nasty Plot on defensive foes that can't threaten it, like Toxapex. Aloraichium Z turns Thunderbolt into Stoked Sparksurfer, which, combined with a Nasty Plot boost, lets Alolan Raichu beat some of its check such as Alolan Muk in Electric Terrain after some prior chip damage. Its ability to wallbreak makes Poison teams much easier to deal with, as once Alolan Muk is taken out, the rest of the team is threatened by Psychic. Tapu Koko is a great teammate as it not only provides quintessential Electric Terrain support but it also checks Dragon-types such as Latios for Alolan Raichu. Stealth Rock support from Alolan Golem is appreciated to score easier KOs. Additionally, Alolan Golem can use Magnet Pull to trap and beat Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Excadrill.

Nasty Plot turns Alolan Raichu into a threatening sweeper increasing its mediocre Special Attack stat to crazy levels allowing it to wallbreak as well.

* also add how due to its poor bulk it needs to setup on defensive foes that can't threaten it like Toxapex, since you focus on Poison matchup later on

Aloraichium Z turns Thunderbolt into Stoked Sparksurfer which combined with a Nasty Plot boost lets Alolan Raichu beat some of its check such as Alolan Muk after some prior chip damage, making match ups such as Poison much easier to deal with for Electric teams as once Alolan Muk is out, everything else is threatened by Psychic.
- split these into two sentences. Firstly, Stoked Sparksurfer can only OHKO AV Alolan Muk with Electric Terrain up, so specify that. then you can talk about it being able to reliably pressure poison with just Psychic after Alolan Muk is gone.

Tapu Koko is a great teammate as it not only provides quintessential Electric Terrain support but it also checks Dragon types such as Latios for Alolan Raichu. Stealth Rock support from Alolan Golem is appreciated to score easier KOs. Additionally, Alolan Golem can use magnet pull set to trap and beat Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Excadrill for Alolan Raichu.
