"I've put maybe five or six hours into , and I spent maybe two of those hours desperately searching for two items: Raichunite X and Raichunite Y. These two Mega Stones would allow Raichu, my favorite Pokémon who has never gotten any respect , to Mega Evolve into one of two forms. I had been begging Game Freak for Mega Raichu for so long, I had honestly given up hope that my boy would get a superpowered transformation in , then they gave him two."
"Raichu never got a Mega form when the mechanic was introduced in and , which was just one of the many examples of Game Freak and The Pokémon Company giving my boy the shaft in favor of Pikachu, his much more popular pre-evolution. Pikachu got the Gigantamax kaiju-style transformation in and , as well as exclusive Z-Moves in and ."
A player spent several hours searching for Raichunite X and Raichunite Y, Mega Stones that allow Raichu to Mega Evolve into two distinct forms. Raichu historically lacked Mega Evolution while Pikachu received multiple special forms, including Gigantamax and exclusive Z-Moves, and an Alolan psychic variant replaced Raichu in past games. Mega Raichu X floats due to electromagnetic repulsion between its two tails and presents a superhero-like flying pose with an arm extended. The design choice enhances appeal and provides tactical advantages in battle, as Mega Raichu X can fly up to attack targets, changing combat dynamics.
