LC Pichu

[Merritt]

[OVERVIEW]
Pichu is an extraordinarily bad Pokemon in the LC tier, with terrible bulk and attacking stats combined with a bad movepool and average Speed. There is no reason to use Pichu over other Electric-type Pokemon such as Elekid and Chinchou that work far better offensively and defensively. Its only real desirable aspects come in the form of Fake Out and Volt Tackle, but even though these are useful moves, they do little damage with Pichu's poor stats. Pichu should not be used on any LC team.

[SET COMMENTS]
If players decide to use Pichu, Fake Out, Volt Tackle, and Volt Switch are its best offensive moves, as they allow Pichu to have some worth. However, due to its poor speed it is easily countered by bulkier offensive Pokemon such as Mienfoo and Onix that are able to take any hit and OHKO it. This set is massively outclassed by the likes of Magnemite and Chinchou, as they have much better typing and stats, allowing them to hit harder and take hits. Elekid and Chinchou also have access to coverage that Pichu does not to hit checks such as Foongus for super effective damage.

Same as with Cyndaquil, taking this over with Nineage's permission who I hope will take a look to confirm his original QC check still stands.
