Overview
Raichu is an Electric-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Mouse Pokemon (Dex #080). Raichu is found at the Nature's Market habitat. It carries two specialties: Generate for powering machines and Hype for boosting the mood of nearby Pokemon when music plays. In the main series, Raichu is the final evolution of Pichu and Pikachu. In Pokopia, each stage must be befriended separately through its own habitat.
Habitat
Raichu lives in the Nature's Market habitat (#176). This market-themed habitat requires the following items:
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Cash Register | 1 | Can be found in Bleak Beach or crafted |
Large Tree (any) | 1 | Any large tree species works |
Table (any) | 1 | Any type of table works |
Large Boulder | 1 | Found naturally across regions |
Raichu is the only Pokemon that spawns at this habitat, appearing as a Common visitor. The Nature's Market represents a small outdoor marketplace, combining commerce and nature elements.
Location
The Nature's Market habitat can be built in multiple regions across Pokopia. The Cash Register is an item that can be found in Bleak Beach or crafted later in the game. Large trees and boulders are available in most regions. Raichu is available at all times of day and in all weather conditions.
How to Befriend
Build the Nature's Market habitat by placing a Cash Register, a large tree, a table, and a large boulder near each other. After a short wait, Raichu will appear at the habitat. Walk up and interact with Raichu to befriend it.
Specialties
Generate
Raichu has the Generate specialty. Pokemon with Generate will power nearby machines in their free time. This makes Raichu a reliable power source for electrical equipment, lights, and powered crafting stations. Station Raichu near machinery that needs electricity, and it will keep the devices charged.
Hype
Raichu also has the Hype specialty. Pokemon with Hype will start dancing when they hear music, improving the mood of the surrounding area. Place a music-playing item like a radio or music box near Raichu, and it will dance along, raising the happiness of nearby Pokemon. This dual-specialty combination makes Raichu both a practical utility Pokemon and a social booster.

Tips
Raichu's dual Generate and Hype specialties make it one of the best Electric-type Pokemon to station in community areas. It powers machines while keeping the mood high.
Furnish Raichu's habitat area with bright, electronic, and round items to increase its Comfort Level.
Place a radio or music box near Raichu to activate its Hype specialty. Nearby Pokemon will benefit from the mood boost.
If you need a Generate Pokemon earlier, Pichu and Pikachu can fill the role while you gather the items for the Nature's Market habitat.
