The characteristics of Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y have been revealed.
Mega Raichu X Characteristic: Electricity Maker
For five turns from the time a Pokémon with this trait appears, it puts the entire field into an Electric Field state. While in the Electric Field state, Pokémon on the ground have 1.3 times the power of Electric-type moves and do not go into a sleep state.
Mega Raichu X's characteristic is EREKIMAKER. If you have played Pokémon from past titles, it may remind you of Cap-Cockerel. Mega Raichu X's signature Electric-type move is further refined.
Mega Raichu Y Characteristic: No Guard
The hit rate of each other's moves becomes 100%.
Mega Raichu Y has the No Guard trait. It is the same as Kylikey and other existing Pokémon. It allows you to use moves that have a low hit rate, such as "Ninjuho" and "Kaminari," without worrying about their accuracy.
