Alolan Raichu or Electrode?

Question

I was researching for a good Pokemon team for Pokemon Sun, and I needed a electric type for my team that WASN'T a legendary. So my two best options were Electrode and Alolan Raichu. So I wanted to know which was better?

Comments

Electrode isn't available in Sun and Moon. Did you mean Electivire or...?

Alolan Raichu is better because it's a psychic type and can help you take on the fighting elite 4

I didn't know that Electrode wasn't in Sun and Moon.

Answer 1

Raichu, mostly because of new psychic type and access to stronger moves, and Electrode's main stat is just speed.
