Where to Find Raichu
If you're looking for where to find Raichu, you'll find the various methods listed down below, along with any notes or special locations. This should help you figure out how to get Raichu in Pokémon Sword & Shield. (Currently this does not show most "strong" static encounters or Max Raid Battles.)
Getting Raichu By Evolution
Evolves from Pikachu by using a Thunder Stone on it. You can get Thunder Stones pretty easily by talking to the Stamina brother of the Digging Duo by the Pokémon Nursery in the Bridge Field part of the Wild Area.
