GOROCHU??? (Ok, no, Mega Raichu X and Y. But the old horns and fangs description.)

The Mega Dimension DLC will be paid DLC for Legends Z-A. Hoopa will play a role in the story. It will be available *for purchase on launch. Story content comes later on.

We also got the Megas for the Kalos starters revealed. It's been 3000 years.

So I’ve decided to turn that mega raichu X redesign into my own interpretation of a 3rd mega for raichu!

Behold, My Mega Raichu Z!

The TRUE raichu in my eyes!

Biology:

“Upon mega evolution, Raichu has adapted to handle and increase its electricity to levels it could not control before. It’s tails have split into hand-like appendages to help circulate electricity around it’s body better, amplifying it’s physical attacks, and to be able to run on all fours while dishing out some staggering Thunder Punches. It can sit on one of its tails while holding or pummeling foes with its other hand, paws and muscular legs. Besides becoming literally “handsy”, it’s tails now also act as electrical vessels; allowing it to absorb electricity from both the atomsphere and the ground without overwhelming itself. It’s speculated that it’s improved electrical organs, including its cheek sacs may allow it to handle almost a million megavolts.”

Other versions of my drawing btw without the effects and two possible shinies as well! :3

It incorporates a couple features from the mega X and Y design (the standing up fur as an obvious example). Like my “X redesign”, I wanted to lean more to the idea of reinventing Gorochu with the darker coat colour and more spikes on the ears to subtly pay tribute to Gorochu’s horns. I really liked the hand-tails of my version of raichu X so I kept them for this guy too as well as maintaining the idea of being part Fighting! Raichu having this added type makes sense with reference to boxing kangaroos and being inspired by kangaroo rats and having a fair share of fighting-type moves in its movepool. This guy would have Scrappy as his ability which would be absolutely diabolical with the 3 priority moves it learns now. Plus Reversal and paired with the all-powerful Volt Tackles’ recoils, he’d be scary to face if you don’t move first lol. 😜

Don't get me wrong, just about every redesign of mega Raichu I've seen have been better then the original, but the amount of people using fan made Gorochu art as a reference is driving me mad. Real Rai-heads know that the only legitimate image we have of it is a leaked back sprite from gen 1 and that's it

THANK YOU I feel like I'm losing my mind. Not only do people keep sharing uncredited fan art (here's the artist btw), but it was drawn before we had Gorochu's sprite so it's not even accurate. And all we have of the sprite is this and a statement that it "had horns and fangs and looked like a [raijin]:

The only similarity the new megas have to Gorochu is that the X form has little fangs. That's it.

(Also going to shamelessly plug my Gorochu interpretation from a while back while I'm here because why not:)

tell me your secrets, electric rat
