立体ポケモン図鑑 ライチュウ・ピカチュウ・ピチュー
"Pokemon Zukan" Pokedex Figure Series

Japan 2004
Yujin Gachapon

This Pokemon Zukan collection of 1/40th scale Pokemon figures is one of the coolest things someone can collect. Here is the Raichu, Pikachu and Pichu from it. See how big Raichu is? See how big and fat he is?!?! This is from one of the oldest, rarest sets of zukan that is now very hard to come by.

Raichu Authentic Production Cels/ ライチュウ セル画
from Ep. 14 "Electric Shock Showdown"/ 第 14話 「でんげきたいけつ!クチバジム」より

Japan 1997

So........ how much better can it get than this?

I owned stacks of sketches from this episode already, and to be honest, I thought that would be as good as it got, and I was happy and content to own the sketches only -- works of hand-drawn art by the animators, and BASICALLY exactly what hundreds of thousands of people around the world have seen in this episode. Yet... not EXACTLY what you see on your screen. Those are the hand painted animation cels.

To be honest, I never ever thought I'd find Raichu. Most Pokemon cels are destroyed or kept private by the studio, and unless you're after characters who appear in every episode (Pikachu and Ash, Team Rocket, etc), you'll have an extremely difficult time finding a specific character or Pokemon. In fact, since August of 2002, Pokemon has been all digital, ceasing hand painted cel production entirely, and making sketches even more scarce.

Under these circumstances, to be able to own these gorgeous cels of a character, Lt. Surge, who only appeared in one episode, and a Pokemon who appears rarely in the anime, is a dream come true. They are famous scenes, iconic images from the episode that made me love Pokemon, made me want to study Japanese, made me want to collect Raichu, and changed my entire life in more ways than I could possibly write on this website. To own these real pieces of it - the originals artwork from scenes that have been viewed by people all over the world, a classic episode - rather leaves me feeling speechless, to be honest.

Please click here to see more details about these cels, these most precious items in my collection!

ポケモンセンターオリジナル ライチュウドール
Pokemon Center Original Raichu PokeDoll

Japan 12/22/2012

Congratulations, my best little buddy.

11 years of waiting* after Pikachu and Pichu got theirs (2001), you finally have your own PokeDoll.

There can be miracles, when you believe. In Raichu PokeDoll.



大きいサイズぬいぐるみ ライチュ ウ
Giant Tomy Plush Raichu

Japan/Europe 1997(?)
Tomy

Meet Raiceus, King of Raichu!
He is the biggest official Raichu plush ever (2 FEET TALL!), but we're still kind of trying to figure out exactly where and when he was sold. He is by TOMY, and his design is similar to the Hasbro Raichu beanie. Back when they created those beanies Hasbro used a lot of designs of already made Japanese plush, and they were also the US distributors for TOMY goods. Perhaps this fellow is linked between the two companies, or a prototype of a toy never made for regular distribution. TOMY has been known to create giant plush hardly anyone owns or has even heard of. Where did you come from, you mysterious large TOMY plushies...? The world may never know??? Thank you to a toy collector in Poland for this beauty.


ケ ンタッキーの"ポケモンパズルアイランド" ライチュウのおもちゃ
KFC "Pokemon Puzzle Island" Raichu Figure

Japan 2000 (?)

The second Raichu I got during a wonderful few months of incredibly amazing Raichus! Well, I basically freaked out when I found this Raichu's auction a mere 6 hours before it ended, after it had been up for a week. It wasn't labeled "Raichu" and it was in an obscure kind of category, so if I had been lazy in my searching that day... be still, my heart! This is a 7 cm tall, incredibly adorable and so-rare-I-didn't-even-know-about-it Raichu, in a pose unique to it alone! Yes - no other Raichu is in this pose! Give me a kiss, darling Chu, Pikachu isn't THAT fast!

Here are some details about this promotion in Singapore, and this is his base. So amazing!!
すずなりポケモン ぬいぐるみ ライチュウ すずなりポ ケモン ぬいぐるみ ライチュウ
Bell Plush Raichu

Japan 1997
Banpresto

I lied about plushies, I decided I will maybe never be able to find all Raichu plushies, because LOOK AT THIS GUY I FOUND! He actually matches the only Electabuzz plush ever made, found on the Electric page. Little Shiny Bell Raichu Plush! We love bell plushies here at Sunyshore, and you can see even more over at the Electric page!

NEW! Mint-in-box Raichu bell plush!! Waaaaaai! Now it is truely complete, young Skywalker.


Raichu Authentic Layout Sketches
ライチュウ 
原画・ 動 画・修正原+設定稿

Japan 1997/2008

I got these long before my dream cels, and thought to myself, has my day as a true Raichu collector almost come? These are one of a kind, actual layout sketches from Electric Shock Showdown, Episode 14 of the Pokemon anime, Raichu's first animated appearance, and four from Diamond and Pearl anime. They are not CELS, but they are the pencil drawings done by the animators. These sketches are they taken over by inkers and painters to created the colored cels (or digital art) you actually see in anime.

I am the only person in the world with these EXACT pencil drawings, and I absolutely had the best luck to even get my paws on them. They cost a nice bit, but it is worth it. I am happy and honored to share with the world these treasures, more glimpses into the world of the animators who make a show we've probably all loved at some point in our lives!

Click here to view each cel sketch in detail -- including ANIMATIONS!
Click the image on the right to see Raichu's animation reference sheets and more, too!

Please look over all my sketches and enjoy seeing how Pokemon is made!

キャ ンバス ぬいぐるみ ライチュウ!+ 増田サイン入り
Canvas Plush Raichu! + Autograph by Junichi Masuda

Japan 1/2010
Pokemon Center


It's.... it's Raichu's first ever Pokemon Center plush.....!! (;___;)!! What a wonderful day!! My two favourite lines have now gotten canvas plushies, it's beautiful! I absolutely adore this Raichu to bits and pieces, from her soft colors to her cute brown eyes and widdle nosey!!! One of the best Raichu plush - ever!!

The Raichu on the top right was signed by the director of Pokemon, Junichi Masuda, especially for me, in person :D! Don't know why that's so special? Give him a google! 増田さん、ありがとう!

空気を入 れてふくらませるポケモンの風船 ライチュ ウ (フクラマチュウ)
Inflatable Raichu (Inflateachu)

Japan 1996-1998 (?)
Festival Prize (?)

The first in a wonderful few months of incredibly amazing Raichus! I spotted this dude on auction, but he was due to end right when I would be over the Pacific, in a plane heading back to America for 3 weeks. CRAP! I set up a few people to bid for me if my high bid was outbid (at the moment I am not paying Yahoo!Japan so I have a high bid limit). I landed, got home and checked - I WON HIM! Look how cute he is! An ultra-rare inflateachu - and he is huge, as well! Around a foot tall - if he were a plush he'd be one of the bigger Raichu plushies there is, that is how big he
is compared to everyone else.

 Inflateachu, you complete me. I love you, baby!

After finding a Pikachu of this same series, I found out this fellow might have been a prize at various festivals in Japan in the late nineties. Nowadays there are still Pokemon masks and prizes given out at festivals, so this is very possibly where he came from!


ころっとまんまるい ぬいぐるみ スーパーDX ラ イチュウ (ピチュー進化コレクション)
Super DX Raichu Plush! (Rolly Polly Plush Evolution Series)

Japan 5/2008・5/2009

SOOOOO BIG! EEEEE! This Raichu is the first Raichu plush to be released in EIGHT YEARS - wow!! It is adorable, well made, so soft, so shimmery! Look at that adorable tail and those ears and paws! I died from the cute. I caught this big lovey dovey all by myself... and oh, how I love you, Raichu!!!! NEW! The 2009 FUZZY version is here!  I want to go out publically and say now that it's furry, it's the best official Raichu plush ever made. No question. If you only own one Raichu, make it this one. Thank you, Banpresto. Thank YOU!!!! (;-;)


Pokemon Trading Figure Game Next Quest: Raichu (#19 Uncommon)
Pokemon Trading Figure Game Unreleased Set: Lt. Surge (Details Unknown)

America 2006/2010
Kaiyodo

This Raichu figure was always one of my favourites, and is one of the only sculpted by Kaiyodo, who does all of the pre-order figures that come out with various games as well as movie promotion mini sculptures, etc. Their work is superb and it shows in this very unique Raichu! As for Surge? He appeared in April of 2008 in this photo from a toy fair, and I screamed at one of my favourite characters of all time getting a real figure! After waiting for over a year - long past the release date on the site - the entire TFG line was cancelled, along with two entire sets that never got released. It was some of the most dissapointing news I've ever heard as a collector. Another year passed, and suddenly figures from the set that never made it to shelves began to appear on Ebay - looking utterly legit, right down to accurate attacks and stats on each Pokemon for use in the game!! Surge? I squealed like a fangirl. Despite uncertain origins, he is  just perfect, and I am so extremely happy to have him in my collection!



Thunder Badges!・オレンジバッジ
ポ ケモンジム バッジシリーズ 
(クシバシティジム)
Pokemon Gym Badge Series (Vermillion City Gym
)
(This is the three badges IN the case) Mint in plastic, it's my official fangirlism for Lt. Surge and his fat Raichu... a gorgeous tribute to the Lightning American, basically, THESE PINS ROCK.

Other Japanese Thunder Badges
Most of these items are official Japanese Thunder Badges and rather hard to find! The round badges on the very bottom are from a set that included every single Kanto, Johto and Hoenn GL, the Kanto leaders getting two each (one set from FRLG). They were TCG League prizes one had to both earn and then mail in to get. Probably most of the Japanese badges had to be aquired this way. The golden badge is extremely rare and high quality, and I have only ever seen one! The one at the very top looks to be the same as the badge in the Badge Series set, but it was actually seperate, and is silver with a different backing. Then there is the replica Thunder Badge sold with a Gym Leader VHS and extremely gorgeous and rare - the perfect badge! The full set can be seen below with my VHS's. Last is probably the oldest thunder badge ever, with the set having designs from original R/B, some obviously not even knowing proper coloring yet!

USA Thunder Badges

The thunder badges on the left and right corners of the plastic are the American TCG Indigo League Thunder Badges! The first was the rectangular one given out in 2000, and the rounder one was handed out in 2006. Yay!!! The Lt. Surge postcard is the American POP scorecard. On the keychain is the extremely rare Pokemon Championship 2000 badge - made of hard solid metal and maybe the last badge I needed for my collection!

Random Thunder Badges
The pink plastic thunder badge (from an old Japanese board game, it had a full Kanto set) and thunder badge sticker is not a pin: but it felt left out. Awwwww... on the left you can also see my official Lt. Surge poster! You can also check out my custom Thunder Badges here!

Hurdle Dash TCG Challenge Scorecard and Patches

Int'l 2010-2011
Play!Pokemon


W-wao! If the 2007-2008 TCG League was about the lions, then 2011 is about....well, the Pokethlon, but with a Raichu season, wow wow wow! How adorable is this, how adorable?! Too adorable, and the patches, the patches! I loved this Raichu artwork ever since it came out promoting the Pokethlon in HGSS, but now they've made official merchandise with it, and I could not be happier.

Check out the scorecard on the inside and back too, not to mention the full length poster?!?!? How Raichutastic! You rock, Play!Pokemon!



Other Collectible Displays, Cards and Etc.

Japan


Though I focus on toys over flat items like stickers, you will find a slew of extremely unique and collectible goods such as these on my site! ESPECIALLY if featuring Lt. Surge!

We have a postcard of Episode 14 Raichus, a Lt. Surge and Raichu vrs. Ash Episode 14 jumbo original art card, a more modern Lt. Surge and Raichu bookmark, and Raichu and pikachu on an P.O.P. display for the game Pokemon Conquest.

Word! And the word is flat.

WOW! Raichu got a Chupa Surprise figure! And it's HUGE compared to the other Chupa Surprise figures! Amazerling! Astounding! RAICHU!!! :D

I love that Raichu is getting merch each year still. Keep it up, little baby! You are so cute and special :D

ポ ケットモンスター モン スターコレクション M-003 ライチュウ NEW
Pocket Monster "Monster Collection" M-003 Raichu NEW

Japan 1/2010
Takara Tomy


This is the brand new remake of the original Raichu Tomy Figure (seen below). While that one was remade again and again, released in many countries and by two different companies, with no white tummy, airbrushed tummy, different shades of orange and eventually a brand spanking new paintjob and packaging in 2008, he was always the same guy - the same pose, size, shape, face. His colors and companies changed but he never did.

Until now! In January 2010 Takara Tomy released Raichu's first ever FULL remake Tomy figure - 12 years after his original one had first come out!! His eyes are bigger, he's sitting upright, his head is bigger and rounder but... let's face it... he still has his big ol' adorable pawses!! Some things never change!

Takara Tomy

When Black/White came out, the MC line gained little gear-like stands that can connect and spin. In Spring 2011 Tomy began re-releasing previous MC figures with the strands, and new packaging. Raichu was in the first wave. Congrats little guy!
ポ ケットモンスター モン スターコレクション M-003 ライチュウ
Pocket Monster "Monster Collection" M-003 Raichu

Japan (originally) 1997~
Takara Tomy, Bandai


Over the years they have continued making these, and their tummy paintjobs change each  time, some with so much white it goes to their mouth, some with a little white on the bottom, some with no white, and the newest have a very defined white tummy patch and a very orange color. The original Raichu figure, probably the first ever made, are these Monster Collection Raichu.

Various Packaging for these figures over the years!
A really cool looking (but PROBABLY fake) clear Tomy!
My favourite bootleg from the Phillipines! Thanks Dawn!


ジャクス  ライチュウ 特別フィギュア
Jakks Raichu Exclusive Figure

America 2007
Jakks Pacific

This is the happiest Raichu in the world. It's all..... OH MY RAAAAI!!!
Jakks Raichu was set to be released with the other D/P figures, but they decided at some stupid moment to make him an EXCLUSIVE FIGURE only available if you buy a HUGE FREAKING BATTLE DOME. Yep! That's the only way to get him. My good Raifriend Michelle snagged mine up for me, and she will be repaid with Japanese Raichus beyond her wildest Raichu. YAY HAPPYRAI !!!

UPDATE: Okay. It's been released in a battle pack with Pikachu for a normal price. FINE THEN! It was also released in a battle set with Pachirisu... but for some reason the one released with Pachirisu has an unpainted mouth. They are ALL like this. WTF?

ラ イ チュウ カンバッジコレク ション
Raichu Can Badge/Buttons!!

Japan
Pokemon Center

Yay buttons! The 151 Badge from the Pokemon Center I'd especially been looking for for quite a while. Quite a while, let me assure you!! So cute, so sleepy! The middle is an original can badge collection from the original Pokemon release. NEW ADDITION! Cute as pie Raichu and Pikachu badge, rare as pie too! If pie were VERY rare. It's from a set called
イチニッピカ ピッ!ichi ni pika pi!), which featured Pikachu and the occasional original Raichu art! You can also see it somewhere else in this collection, know where? Anyway, the set of buttons is so cute, look!

I'm sure there's plenty more out there, so I'll have fun expanding my collection of Raichu Buttons! Oh, that 3D button up there, well, he's from America, sold in bookstores like Books-a-million and Barnes n' Noble... it's a bit hard for me to believe that he is authentic, so for now he just gets a place of honorable mention on the side :D Since he's too cool to ignore!

I also have lots of unofficial buttons too! Click to see.

Oh, and he's the biggest plastic Raichu ever made.
AWESOME.

ほっ ぺピカピカぬいぐるみ ライチュウぬいぐるみ
Springy Cord Light-up Raichu Plush

Japan 1998
Banpresto

I thought I had finally found one of the last Raichu plush I needed to complete my Raichu plush collection! I was certain this would mean I had one of every single plush they ever made of him... but I found a photo of an American Made plush I did not have (at the time) the same day I found this little guy!!!  And then about a thousand more! But I still feel the same elation thinking I had finally completed my plush collection when I look at this cute smile. Anyway...squeeeeal I'm in love! His cord glows red!

AND JUST LOOK AT HIS SWEET FAAAACE!!!

ポケモン ポップ (パート2) ライチュウ
"Pokemon Pop" (Part 2) Raichu

Japan 1999
バン ダイ
/Bandai [entire part 2 set]

Boy, does HE have a story.  A Japanese seller was one week slowly auctioning off stuff from my wanted page, bit by bit, slowly raising the price each time! By the time it got to him they figured I'd bid on anything they put up and listed it for 5000 yen. NO THANKS!! I didn't bid and they slowly lowered it, a bit more each day. They even emailed me to ask if I had seen it - giggle! Finally I did bid and he is mine - such a sweet little fellow!!

ライチュウ ジョウト・全国図鑑メタルチャーム
Raichu Johto Dex/National Dex Metal Charms

Japan 2009/2011
Pokemon Center

These are the cutest out of all hundreds of Pokedex Metal Charms!

The original Raichu (with one paw up) is
of course from the Johto Pokedex charm collection craziness of 11/21/2009... never forget 11/21/2009!! The staff was unprepared for the hoardes of people rushing inside when the doors opened, kicking and punching as they fought to reach the coveted tiny pieces of metal. Did they all want Raichu? I am not sure, but if they did not, I'm sure they regretted it later. Raichu forgives them.

When it was time again to release charms, this time all 646 Pokemon in the National Dex as of 12/2011, the staff were prepared, the masses of humanity kept in control, and one could easily pluck a sweet Raichu set of charms off the rack for themselves. Which is just what I did... and now here they are for you to see. Do not miss their Lion brethren... and can you spot ALL the Electric charms on the Electric Collection page?

メタルスイング ライチュウ キーホルダー
Metal Swing Keychains Raichu

Japan

The red sparkly ones are actually older and rare Raichu keychains, part of a set that includes all 151 original Pokemon...and Gold/Silver Pokemon...in both gold and silver metals... so cute!

The gold Raichu-shaped one is also awesome!!! It's a strong clip as well as a keychain. Good method to keep keychains from falling off backpacks! Also an older and rare item.

And the triplets, nifty round metal keychains! With butts! Love the design. I finally got all three colors!!! :D Took a long time but it is now COMPLETE!!!



ライ チュウ スタンプ烈伝 (アドバンスジェネレーション+DP)
Raichu Stamp "Retsuden" (AG+DP)

Japan

From Ruby/Sapphire generation, an orange Raichu stamp! Yay! I really love the stamps in this series - the "lid" screws on to keep ink nice and wet! And now - two DP versions! How HAPPY! Raichu gets three retsuden stamps, some of the hardest stamps to find, ever. Aren't you proud, baby? (I especially love the "warm color" theme going on with these guys :D)

The plush I found in a long ago taken photo, searched all day to find the taker, only to find she had stopped caring for Raichu and her clip plush had been pooped on by ferrets and thrown away. Oh the pain!

But then! The shining light of the LJ Pokemon Community and its members shone through months later, and here is my clippy, clippy-chan, probably the last official Raichu plush I needed to complete my plushie collection...

Okay, this stuff is flat, but this is SPECIAL. A card signed by Ken Sugimori himself - the man who CREATED Raichu! Well, I couldn't pass that up! Also pictured is the supersized Dark Raichu! Yay! As for the photos below, well - usually I don't count stuff with tons of Pokemon on it as "Raichu Merchandise"... because IT'S NOT. But this is not only Raichu-centric, but also called the "Raichu Deck", comes with a special Raichu card and stickers. FINE. You got me.

For the halibut... here's my other TCG Raichu/Surge boxes and the TCG Entry Pack '08 DX "Raichu Deck" -- including it's brand new, 2011 Korean counterpart!


「1995 年風」まるで丸くて丸のようなとっ ても丸いライチュウのぬいぐるみ
"1995 Style" Roundest of Round Very Round Raichu Plush

Europe
Origins Unknown


LOOK AT THIS POTATOCHU. JUST LOOK!!! Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Or King Henry VIII? Or President William Howard Taft? How about just a pumpkin? There are many things one can say about this Raichu, who I will call "Raichu von Pokemon", which sounds fancy, and also is what his listing was titled. Raichu von Pokemon, you are a mystery of mammoth proportions. When Arceus created you, he had a special plan in mind, one that did not include a neck, or any reasonable amount of mobility. Raichu von Pokemon, you may get from here to there by being rolled along by a few Oompa Loompas, but my heart grew three sizes the day I first laid eyes upon you. From all the trans fat. Please also feast your eyes on his twin (on the left), who has varied shades of orange and yellow as compared to the original. Who are you and why is your palette slightly altered, Raichu von Pokemon's twin?

PS: You win the prize for "Raichu plush most resembling Raichu's original design", his Red/Blue sprite. It's true -- Raichu really was originally a round blob with limbs and ears. REPRESENTING.


大きいフィギュアー ライチュウ
Huge Figure Raichu

Japan 1999

I spotted this guy in a 100$ Pikachu lot auction and contacted the seller about him. She sent me a photo of him and I was like this: OMGAAAAAAAWDS! And offered her 20 bucks and she was like OK 20 bucks! And Now I have him!! And he is HUGE and beautiful! He's 3.5 inches inches tall dude - not small! And that long, thick tail! Nice chu! He is also completely poseable, and made of the same material as Pokemon zukan figures. His ears, arms and tail attach to him like those too. Hmm.... from Yujin perhaps?


オリジ ナル・アメリカン・ライチュウ
Beanbag Plush
"Hasbro Raichu"

America
Hasbro

Whatever American doesn't own this, should be ashamed of themselves.
This is THE American Raichu plush. Don't ever forget it.

Seriously. Go buy one on Ebay, right now.

Please also look to your RIGHT to see my extremely rare, possibly one of a kind (at the very least, the only one known to exist), factory error orange-eared Raichu Hasbro plush! He is 100% official with all tush and hang tags and completely perfect except for his accidental orange ears. A very unique and rare addition to my rat pack!!


There are also unofficial fakey versions of this plush, one with voicebox and string, found in a crane game in Europe, and one from Taiwan with a cutely halved mouth. Check them out too! They are oddly quite different for being simple copies of the same plush.


ソフビ だきつきポケモン ライチュウ
Grabber Soft Figure Raichu

Japan 1997
Banpresto

This guy is HUGE! And I'm not sure what he was originally sold under, so I made up the Japanese for him... anyway, squeeze his tummy and he holds things (as he demonstrates with the Raichu Moose's Mighty Beanz). I have no other information on him, but he is rare as nobody seems to have known of him. If you know more about him (year, company, etc) please let me know!



南ア メリカ限定・ライ チュウコインパースぬいぐるみ
South American Exclusive Raichu Coin Purse Plush "Raichu de Mayo"

South America 1999/2000
Play-by-Play

Wow!!! Check out this adorable fellow!!! You wouldn't know it by looking at his cute ickle innocent face, but this Raichu coin purse plush is one of the rarest Raichu plush in existance! This Raichu is from a set that all had white clips and color-coordinated straps and zipper pouches in their backs. Despite having tags from Play-by-Play, Raichu's pattern, color and style do not at all resemble the Raichu clip plush by the same company. Folks saw this set of plush for sale from Mexico to Brazil, and like the PBP slippers and backpack (amonst others) being sold only in Canada, this Raichu was only ever sold in South America.

Now he has arrived in my heart, on May 5th, thus he shall be called, Raichu de Mayo. Olé!

Thinkchip Raichu

This was another one I owned when young and had to buy again when I came to Japan. He's worth it. Picks up the little Pokeball candies. <3 AND NOW!

ドイツ の祭 り ライチュウぬいぐるみ (ドイツチュウ) (3サイズ+編集版)
German Traveling Fair Raichu Plush (Germanchus) (3 sizes+ Edited Version)

Europe 2000
Play by Play "Traveling Fair" Novelty Toys

These are plushies from Germany, who were found for me by a friend of a friend! They all had no cheeks or belly, so I added them on to the one guy for fun and left the ones on the left as they were. The lack of cheeks and belly made me wonder about them, but a German friend finally explained where they came from! They were prizes at a festival in Germany when Pokemon Yellow came out there. They had Pikachu and Raichu amongst other unique plush as prizes. For now we know of three sizes: Large (25 cm), Medium (17 cm) and Small (12 cm), along with dark brown and light bright versions, each with distinct eyes, nose and mouth shapes. I am sure there are even more out there, and I am on a quest to collect them all! :D They are such an adorable and unique addition to my collection, and also incredibly rare, same as some other German-only Pokemon plush we've also seen.

Some have said they are the cutest Raichu plush ever. Way to go, Germanchus! Gettin' all the ladies!

This Germanchu is the same as the above ones, only he is....yellow?! He is quite yellow. Very yellow but it doesn't take away from his cuteness, no sir! He is also my only Germanchu with a fully intact tag, proving the authenticity, origins, date of production and whatnot of himself and his brothers. His tag's details can be seen below!

Play by Play "Traveling Fair" Novelty Toy

WOW!!! This guy is gigantic - see Pokedoll companion to get an idea! He is also SO soft and fuzzy! And his tail is almost 2 feet long, wowza! This might be the most huggable Raichu in the whole world! He was my very first "Germanchu". His origins were unknown, because this guy has his tag chopped off, however, the matching Pikachu I got with him had a tag, and it is for the company Play-by-Play. Further research revealed a big chance he is one of a set of foot-tall very fuzzy plushies (probably prizes in amusement parks) by Play-by-Play, which included this mewtwo.
When Yellowchu (above) arrived, all the clues finally fell into place! Now this begs the question: How many more hard to find, adorable Raichu plush did they possibly make?! I eagerly await the truth WHICH I SHALL UNCOVER!

Please view the photo below to see all three shades of Germanchu together at last!

...and I finally decide to try to collect the clear ones.
(The Anime and Attack Kids did not have clear versions, sadly!!)

超太ったヨーロッパーライチュウのぬいぐるみ
Rather Fat "Big Ol' Butt" European Raichu Plush

Europe
1999-2000ish

Meet the Raichu with the biggest butt ever! He is yet another amazing European exclusive Raichu plush -- though from what country in Europe, we are not sure. The original owner's father traveled extensively and brought her back many unique Pokemon plush from various countries, of which Raichu was not the only one!

He is made of super soft, super fuzzy fur, and he joins the league of Raichus with orange tails -- though most of the other orange-tails are Japanese, not European. Because of his large bottom, I've named him after one of my favourite improv comedians, Wayne Brady! Who used to be very well known on Whose Line is it Anyway? for his big ol' butt B)



ピカピカほほ台湾のライチュウのぬいぐるみ
Happiest "Glowing Cheeks" Taiwan Raichu Plush

Taiwan
1999-2000ish

This Raichu plush from Taiwan was so filthy, he was being given away as a freebie if you bought something else. Of course I adopted this beautiful big boy with his light-up red cheeks and flawless happy face! And of course I cleaned him right up too, since when you have a unique and amazing new Raichu plush you've never seen before, he deserves to be treated as a king. His paw had glue residue, probably from a "Press Here" sticker, if the others in this series are anything to go by.

As he is so happy and stuck in a perpetual state of laughter, his name is "Drew Carey".

He is part of a series of Light-Up Cheek plushies, which also featured Pikachu in a few sizes and fabrics. You can see some images of the Pikachus in the series here! Probably being part of this series is why his cheeks are red and not yellow.


ポケ モンスイング ライチュウ・ピカチュウ + 復刻 版
Pokemon Swing Keychain and Reprint

Japan
Bandai

I bought the whole damn set just to get this... and it was worth it!
Raichu is always worth it. Now featuring both old version and reprint!

(Old version is on the right. See Raichu's browns are much browner? Recently Raichu's browns have been slowly turning grey, for reasons unknown...)


もこもこバッ クパック ライチュウ
Fuzzy Raichu Backpack

Canada 1999
Play-by-Play

I wanted this backpack for soooo long and I always lost it on Ebay so finally one day I was like OMGGGG ARGH and I just went like "$67584765865.00" for my high bid, and I won it! And I didn't have to pay
$67584765865.00.

ポケモン超ゲット大 全3 ライチュウ・ポケモンフルカラーア ドバンス13
"Chou GET!" Figures, Set 3/"Full Color Advance" Series 13 Figures

Japan 2005/2007
Bandai


He could connect to the other Chou GET! figures, if I wanted any of the others! Yay Raichu!


Raichu Raichu look at your little pawprint <3<3<3


ポ ケモンフルカラース タジアム/
ポケットモンスター フルカラーコレクション ライチュウ
"Full Color Stadium/Collection" Figure

Japan
Bandai

I have way too many of these Full Color Stadium things, but surprisingly Raichu was in none of the sets I bought! I had to get them special. Hello clear and demented Raichu <3 And I'm not completely sure why I find various names for these toys, so I'll figure that out, since they are obviously from the same series.

On the right is a mystery full color stadium-like figure. I don't know if it was a bootleg or just a different kind of figure, but the closest match is this mold here, so here it goes!

ミニ超黄色いライチュウのぬいぐるみ
Mini Very Very YellowChu Plush

Europe (?)

Meet Mini Very Very YellowChu, almost if not more yellow than German YellowChu, with even more unknown origins, but a handy little keychain attachment. His pattern doesn't match any other Raichu plush I own, so who are you, mini YellowChu?? Who are you?!?!?!


バウンドボール ライチュウ
バウンドボール ライチュウ
Raichu "Bound Ball"

Japan
Banpresto

God this thing is the roundest Raichu in the whole world.

ライチュウ の巾着!
Raichu Cloth Pouches

Japan
Pokemon Center

Aren't they all so wonderful?  These are cloth pouches designed for school things and bentou lunches to go inside of, as far as I know... in my house, they are for putting plushies and toys inside of, aha! These are actually some of the rarest items in my Raichu collection - especially the one on the right with Luxray, which only had 200 ever made! You can see more detailed photos and read more info on the set on the Lions page! I put the photo anyway ;D

The big blue and yellow pouches are from the
イチニッピカ ピッ! (ichi ni pika pi!) series of goods released in 2003 in Japan's Pokemon Centers. Raichu goods from this promotion are my most wanted items right now! Have a look at all my Raichu ichi ni pika pi! goods, and some others with just Pikachu!


ポケモン10番勝負 「宿命の対決」
ピカチュウVSライチュウ バトルフィギュアー
Pokemon 10 Battles [Battle for Life]
Pikachu vs. Raichu Battle Figures

Japan 1999
Banpresto

One of the few items I can claim I lost as a kid; I had this when I first got into Pokemon and had to re-buy it in Japan. Always a classic!!! Recently the line was once again revived and Zekrom got an amazing electrical diorama figure in the same style, and they look so amazingly cool together...even if Zekrom is much smaller than those tiny mice!


ポケモ ンウォッチアソート ライチュウ
プレートウォッチバージョン
Pokemon Assorted Watches - Plate Watch Version Raichu

Japan
Banpresto

I think this watch keychain will have my children one day.

I get the image of Raichu surfing, even if he's really just standing on some DISCO DANCE FLOOR and shooting RED LIGHTNING BOLTS!!!
Raichu Tins!
Where I keep all of my extra Raichu toys!

This plush was on my "Wanted Items" list for a long time and finally I found one on some weird auction website. I used to have one when I was little, so I am very very happy that he is mine again <3 Yay!

ライ チュウ フラットフィギュ アー!
Raichu Flat Figure (Burger King?)

South America 2001

The famous flat Raichu Figure, that looks like the KFC Figure above after being run over. Not run over in the horrible bone-crunching way, but run over like cartoon characters get run over and go flat. Thus... flat Raichu! I have only ever seen this once, so I can assume it is quite rare. Based on a pamplet it came with, I can assume it is from Burger King, but who knows for sure!? This is all the info I have on this series. There was also a Meowth, Lugia, Gligar, and more!

ペ ル製 ライチュウのあまけおもちゃ
Peruvian Raichu Cereal Prize Toys

Peru 2003 (?)

These Raichus are part of a series of prize figures from Peru that includes dozens of Pokemon and a few trainer characters too, spanning Generations 1-3. The red one is called a "spoon" although it is more of a toothpick in my opinion. The previous owner of these figures suggested they came from cereal, but another Peruvian Pokemon collector thought they came from pasta. Pasta prizes?! What kind of magical country is Peru, anyway?!



ポケモンキャラクター 貯 金箱 ライチュウ
Pokemon Character Bank Raichu

Japan
Banpresto

Mine has a small spot on his tummy. I love him anyway.

A little too small (3-4 inches high) to hold too many coins, though. That's okay. After buying this collection it's not like I've got extra coins anyway. Since you know, I bought it all at once, not over a decade+ or anything.
ライ チュウ ポケットモンス ター ラバースタンプ
Raichu Pocket Monsters Rubber Stamp

Japan 1997/1998
Pokemon Center

This.
Is.
Rare.
This stamp is in fact so rare, that I could not find it once in nearly 10 years of Raichu collecting. This series featured possibly all of the original 151 Pokemon, but they are so hard to find now nobody can confirm it! I finally got this baby when my friend Ridi found them covered in a layer of dust ten years thick in a random little toy shop in Kyushu (Southern Japan). WOW!!! Good friend - good stamps - amazing find!! I nearly cried I was so happy! What an amazing addition to the collection :D
My, what cute stamps you have!


ち びコロスタンプ ライチュウ
Raichu Little Rolly Stamp
Japan/USA (released in both)
(the one on the blue pokeball) This Raichu was sold in both Japan and America, and is SO FRIGGIN CUTE!!! Just about every Raichu collector has one of these cutiepies :D Look at some of the packaging they were released in.



ポケットモンスターキャラクタースタンプ ライチュウ (3種類)
Raichu Pocket Monsters Character Stamp (3 kinds)
Japan
How cute! The Chibi Raichu Stamp twins are here to bring pink and blue into my orange and yellow collection ._. And now with the green base stamp, I have all three of the colors! I just love complete color sets :D!!!!!

Metal Collection Raichus! from Japan


メタルコレク ショ ライチュウ
Metal Collection
Raichus

These Raichus come in many colors (I do not have them all yet) and are from old 1997 releases. Colors I am missing include silver, gold, and... others I am not exactly sure of. The ones I do have are some of my prize posessions!

AGメタルコレク ショ ライチュウ
AG Metal Collection
Raichu

(The skinnier Raichus) This is a re-release and brand new mold of metal Raichu released during Fire Red/Leaf Green. There are more colors than the one I own, I am not sure of them all! These figures are somehow harder to find than the original Metal Collection, and I don't even know how I have managed to get the ones I do have!


Other Metalish Raichus! from Japan


金・ 銀けしモン ライチュ
Gold and Silver "Keshimon" Raichu
These figures are the original "keshipoke" from 1997! You can see some recent keshipoke on the lions page.

金フィギュ ア ライチュ
Gold Raichu Figure
I am not sure what set this golden Raichu is from! It is solid with a gold coating.

ポケモンコレクション D ライチュ
"Pokemon Collection" Set D, Raichu
The bronze-y figure in back! He has the stickers he originally came too!
ポケモンフレンズ2 ライチュウぬいぐるみ
Pokemon Friends (part 2) Raichu Plush

Japan 1997
Bandai

Now THIS is soft! And so nice and fuzzy... I love you Pokemon Friends Raichu <3
This is probably, also, the first Raichu plush ever made. Keep that in mind folks.

10th Anniversary "Attack Action!" Raichu/Pikachu/Pichu ポケモン10周年フィギュアー ライチュウ・ピカチュウ・ピチュ
10th Anniversary "Attack Action!" Raichu/Pikachu/Pichu

America 2006
Hasbro

Wow. What a face. ...... yep. Face.
Even with such a face, I struggled to get it... you and your face, Raichu!!
I cannot figure out why this item is so hard to find... the one I ended up getting was in a lot of toys, and at least three people asked the seller to buy it indivudually. Weird... it's only 1.5 inches tall and kind of funky faced, but so incredibly rare!

ポ ケモン アクションフィ ギュア3 ライチュウ
Raichu Action Figure Series 3

Japan
Bandai

His legs are poseable. When you get him you have to attach his legs and tail. Very cute ☆

KFC ポケモン ライチュウ・ピ カチュウ 進化 ぬいぐるみ
KFC Pokemon Evolving Pikachu/Raichu Collectible Plush

Asia 1999
Medialink

Wow! What a discovery!! This poor guy has been bootlegged all over Ebay and I had to search for eight YEARS to find one that was real - and finally here he is, mint from his package! Wow!! He was a KFC toy (there was also guys like Poliwag -> Poliwhirl and Clefairy -> Clefable in the set) from 1999 in promotions that seemed to occur in most English-speaking Asian countries like Singapore (where mine is from), Hong Kong and Malaysia.

He is just so extremely cute and I am SO glad to FINALLY know where and what he is from, and own one with a complete tag and package set including the original paper. The photos below show him as he was packaged. The second guy I'm using in the photos is also official - but had its tush tag cut off before I bought it, so I could still never confirm where he was from or that he was even real. What a relief!! I wanted to keep this cutie in my gallery and now I can do it with pride!



ボタンメイト  ライチュウ (2種類)
Raichu "Button Mate" Button Covers (2 kinds)

Japan

These must be for covering very small buttons (about 1 cm. wide;;)
But they are so cute!! The set on the bottom is the newer set, I believe.
The set on top was on my wanted list for a while!

(and I have them all on a band, as you can see, which another Raichu wears around his ear <3)
MEGA BLOCKS キャラブ ロック

Totally just made of awesome.

共同 ポケ鈴コレク ショモンスターボール/マスターボール/スー パーボール

They ring as sweet as Raichu should! And have huge noses.

ポケ モンリアルフィ ギュアPART2 ライチュウ
Pokemon "Real Figure" Series Part 2

Japan 1998
トミー/ TOMY


Yeah it better be real! This Raichu was in this series RANDOMLY
with Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny, Brock, Psyduck, Misty, and Togepi.
HUH? Poor Raichu doesn't know any of these people!!

ラ イチュウ アメリカ製キーチェイン
Raichu Keychain from the U.S.A.

America 1999 (?)
Hasbro

This is the adorable and happy American Raichu Keychain, with a Pokeball and red clip to match even the newer Jakks keychains coming out a decade later! He is one of the cuter things to come out of the states for Raichu and I am happy I finally have the full set with red clip and ball (thank you Killerjaw for trading my older one with me!)

Here are some other keychains that I honestly can't confirm if they were bootlegged or sold legit in a shop or whatnot, so have them anyway!
タフタ ぬいぐるみ ライチュウ Part 1/Part 3 (2種類)
Taffeta Plush Raichu (2 kinds)

Japan 1998
Banpresto

The less purpley one is actually one of the bigger plushies ever made of Raichu. Kudos to you, Raichu!
Also both of these prove that even some Japanese plush companies do silly things with coloring... as if Jakks Pacific didn't already prove that to us in America...
オーストラリアのUFOキャッチャ  ライチュウのぬいぐるみ
Australian Crane Game Raichu Plush "AustRAIliachu"

Australia

Crikey mate. Who'd expect to be walking about the suburbs of Sydney, Australia, and find a little Raichu inside of a crane game? This unique little fellow, about 20 CM tall, has a string with suction cup, a happy little smile and is made of soft velboa fabric! Even more unique? He has only ever been spotted in Australian crane games -- never in any other place to date! He is the ONLY Australian Raichu we know of!

This is a rare and adorable addition to my Raichu plush collection, which now has plush from America, Japan, Canada, South America, Germany, Poland, Taiwan -- and Australia!! What a beauty!!


ライ チュウ ピン
Raichu Pins!!!

America/Japan/Other

First, from Japan 1996, is... "Raichu on a postal stamp" pin! It also says "Shogakkukan", one of the companies that produces Pokemon. Also starring in this shot is very orange angry Raichu pin, very golden angry Raichu pin, Raichu/Pikachu stuck together pin, and those two with the gold foil backing are from Korea! How cool :D

The round Pokemon 2000 Collector's pin is from a set that did indeed include all 151 original Pokemon! Raichu was tough to find, but here is is with me forever, muwaha!

As a side note, the golden angry leaping Raichu pin is possibly the rarest I own. For years a similar bootleg Raichu pin was floating around the internet and Ebay, but it was only ever a bootleg made from some existing art and we assumed there was no original pin. Well, tada! This is the real deal, and boy is it lovely! :D

韓国 鉛筆に付ける フィギュア ライチュウ
Korean Raichu Pencil Topper Figure

Korea 1999
TOP-IN


Here is a real and true rare little novelty ... a Raichu pencil topper figure from Korea! Mint with it's original package all the way from 1999! An official licensed item, too! How fancy!

This rubber figure may have also come in red and blue versions, evidenced by a few other Pokemon being seen in those colors (examples if you click here!). At least if I have one color for now, it's the best one for Raichu!

ラ イチュウ フランス製キーチェイン
Raichu French Keychain

France 1999 (?)
Origins Unknown

Here is a cute little fellow who came to me from France. He is unlike any other Raichu mold I have seen before, and super chubby and adorable! He is also large -- two and a half inches tall, and wants a hug very much. A very adorable and unique and BRIGHT ORANGE little guy.

ラ イチュウ ヨーロッパミュージックボックス
Raichu European Music Box

Europe 1999 (?)
Origins Unknown

This music box is a very similar, but not identical, mold to the above keychain. You can especially see in the facial expression and shorter little stubby arms, along with being a bit taller and skinnier. Where did you come from little guy? What company made you, what store were you sold in?

Regardless of uncertain origins, this Raichu and his rather rubbery, squishy keychain brother, are some of the most adorable Raichus I own. Props!

Other Raichu "Kitchenware"!

ライチュウ ミニグラ ス
Raichu Mini Glass + Mug
This was on my wanted list for sooooo long, and now I have it, and it's wonderful!! So cute... one one side he says "chu" and on the other "rai" and it says, "LET'S GET THE ALL" along the bottom. Giggle! On the right, some awesome electric cups and mugs I just can't possibly leave out of this ensemble.

やわらかポケモン ライチュウ
Soft Pokemon Raichu

Japan
Banpresto

Very soft, but these are very easy to damage, too. Basically just the Bank covered in soft velvety fuzz... looks like a plushie (o^∇^o)
  The ball is the original gachapon ball that these figures came out of the machine in!

ポケモン  コロンブス ライチュウ
Mighty Beanz Raichu

America/Japan

It's the American-made Moose's Mighty Beanz, and it's the Japanese version of Mighty Beanz, and isn't the Japanese one so much cooler? Mmmmm. Ovalchuu.



ポケモンスイングキー チェイン ライチュウ
Pokemon Swing Keychain Raichu

Japan 1997-8
Tomy

I bought this on Ebay from a seller in Japan. They wanted to charge me $14.00 to ship it. I was like uh, I live in Japan and I know a keychain like this would cost $1.00 to mail to me. She wrote back with some lame spheal about insurance and asked for $8.00. I gave her $4.00.I got Raichu.

明治ポケモンチョコボーフィギュアケース入りコレクショ ン
Meiji Pokemon "Chocopoh" / "In Case Collection"

Japan

Little Meiji figures who were packaged with candy, as always, whoops, bought the whole set just to get this one rare Raichu from a bazillion years ago. Still trying to get rid of those things...
 And yeah, you guessed it, I had to buy about a hundred of these "in case" figures to get Raichu as well. I'm going to go drown in extra toys now. But Raichu is happy in his pretty plastic case!

バーガーキングおもちゃ ピカピカライチュウ
Burger King Kid's Meal Toy - Light Up Raichu

America 2000

I had to buy a lot of about 30 unopened toys to get this Raichu with a tail, since the tail falls off so easily nobody else was selling one with a tail. It cost me 60$ to win the auction and I turned around and resold it for 70$. I got paid 10$ to own the Burger King Raichu! It glows red when you hit a switch on the back (why red???).



ポ ケットモンスター ソフ トキーホルダ ライチュウ

Raichu Marble Case and Marbles

America

The very cute and handy-dandy Raichu Marble Case/Holder from 1998, complete with Raichu marble! The case opens and spins and holds 8 marbles and one can be magnified in it's little window. Oh come on, you must have some of these marbles SOMEWHERE. NEW! The orange marble is the new Jakks Marble. Hurray!

Click below for a close-up of the different marbles. One says Riachu!


立 体ライチュウ
Raichu Cardboard (2) + Foam (2) Stand-Up Figures + Pop-up Card

Americas/Japan

I debated and debated over whether these counted as a figures/toys and not a flat thing. I went with them officially being toys because: 1. They are 3D Raichu that stand on their own. NOT FLAT! 2. SO CUTE. End of argument. So there you have it! The smaller foam one is actually incredibly rare, and we only discovered it recently! Very happy to add it to the pack!! As for the blue pop-up card, thanks, South America!



プラモンシリーズ P-09 ライチュウ
"Puramon" (Plastic Monsters) Series Snap Together Raichu
(shoots lightning bolts)

Japan
TOMY

He shoots lightning bolts!
He SCORES!!!


This figure not only shoots lightning bolts from its tail, but it's a plastic model figure that comes in a box and you must snap out all of the pieces and force them to fit together and I've had like three of them and this is the only one that's actually had all the pieces fit together properly!!! *pant pant pant*

Raichu Mini-Skateboard
Raichu Mini-Snowboard

America
X-Concepts

These skateboards were very popular during the boom in America, and the snowboards came a bit too late to make the cut. Yet, here are the Raichu versions of both! I do wish I had my original Raichu skateboard, which I would skateboard on my desks in middle school, but what can be done?

THIS skateboard is mint in package! Pikabellechu traded me the skateboard and Michelle traded me the snowboard. Thanks, you guys are awesome Raichu collectors as always! :D

軍隊タッグ/チェンジングボールチェーン ライチュウ
Raichu Dog Tags/Changing Ball Chain

Dog Tags: America
Changing Ball Chain:
Japan

I had the white dog tag when I was first starting to collect Raichu, and it got lost in The Move, so I am very happy to have had it traded back to me by Kari. The yellow dog tag was from Kelly (both from the UK!) Thank you so much guys!! The smaller tag is a Japanese-made tag that changes from Pichu to Pikachu to Raichu. It's hard to see, so here is a good look at it!

WE NEED EMERGENCY YELLOW OVER HERE. REPEAT, SERIOUS LACK OF YELLOW OVER HERE. IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE REQUIRED. Yes, they are legit, just some of the only official Raichus with some poor coloring jobs. This is a complete set of Raichu stamps from the 151 Stamps series.

This, by the way, is a bootleg of the clear yellow base one! Do not be tricked as I once was!

Raichu Decorations!

Here is a cute foam Raichu with matching Pokeball for sticking on your wall as a lovely Raitastic decoration!

How lovely! Did you have these around your room as a child? Well, now I have them around my room again! Except it's my apartment and I'm apparently 20 something, hard to tell from this website, though. I got this lovely glow in the dark Raichu from a member on PKMNcollectors community, my favourite place to talk RAICHU!!!!

JR・7/11ポケモ ンスタンプラリー・ライチュウが登場!
JR and 7/11 Pokemon  Stamp Rallys-- Raichu Appears!

Japan1999/2009
Japan Rail and 7/11

This is a special treat!!!

Each summer in Japan the Pokemon Movie of the year hits theatres, and so do dozens of related events. Some of those events are "stamp rallies" where you travel to various train stations or convinience stores collecting stamps in booklets to win prizes!

Up until now (2011) Raichu has only appeared in one feature film -- Movie 2, Revelation Lugia, shown in the foreground on a boat, unable to go any further with the other Pokemon, while flying and water types flew or swam towards the ocean. Somehow that tiny cameo led him to be in the stamp rally! Not only is this a big honor, but this booklet is extremely rare, but thanks to a friend who was a young boy in 1999 who's parents were cool enough to take him from station to station, I can record this bit of the past for this site. Don't miss the blue Raichu stamp from 2009's 7/11 stamp rally! He was not even in that movie...?!?!

ライ チュウ 消しゴム
Raichu Erasers

Japan/America

How adorable!! The Eraser on the right was a trade from another Pokemon Collector. Thanks, Carolina Suicune!!! The big orange guy is from Ebay. Hurray Ebay!! The blue and white circular ones are old Japanese erasers, and the blue one actually has some more electrics on it. That big old green one is from when the anime first came out!

I wonder how many more Raichu erasers there are...? Exciting, right? That was sarcasm.

Weirdly Colored Raichu from Japan :D (none are bootlegs!)
There are a lot of little weird colored Raichu out there - I'll collect them as I can, I guess, but this is not all of them! All are from Japan.

This is my collection of Raichu's first episode in VHS and DVD form! Of course we have your basic American DVD and Japanese VHS of the official Raichu episode! Enjoy it anyday, all the time! As for the orange DVD: This is a really cool collector's item for any fans of the Pokemon you can see on the DVDs there. It's a Best Collection of episodes from the Indigo League (Generation 1). Also has the first ending and opening to Pokemon, fully restored! Parts have also been edited weirdly because of the Porygon seizure incident. And my favourite: the Gym Battle Complete Pack which comes packaged with a set of accurate replica badges EXACTLY as they would be in real life - the best badges ever with the coolest video, which is a recap of all of Ash's Indigo League Gym Battles. My "official" collection is just English and Japanese, but check out the official German DVD I also have!

「心に残る名ストーリー編」
ピ カチュウ!ライチュウ!進化への道!
(Stories to Remain in your Heart!) Pikachu! Raichu! The Road to Evolution!


The DVD in the sleeve is from a set Media Factory releases
about 2-3 times a year featuring a single episode. Here is Raichu's DVD, featuring the episode that made us all go BUH?! What road to what evolution? Never naive enough to think Pikachu would evolve, I was however very very curious to see this, and they really did trick you into thinking it had for a moment, too! If you haven't seen it, I can say it finally answers the question, what did Ash do with the Thunderstone Nurse Joy gave him in episode 14? And what WILL he do with it?! Ooooh!

So Sunyshore's boys finally decided to show their ugly mugs in the anime, eh? And here are their RENTAL ONLY!! DVDs, of course! Well, one of them, and the image of the other, which I am still waiting to grab.

You can get the entire inside scoop on Volkner's episodes HERE of course, but there is more Sunyshore to the DVDs than just his stories! Volume 6 features a beach school located right in or around Sunyshore City's coastline, and Volume 10 features the episode in which Jasmine finally makes her Sunyshore City cameo in the anime! Truely a treasure!

As Volkner's stories equally star his adorabley cuddly Raichu and handsome Luxray, these DVDs are on both my Raichu and Lion pages. Yes, this information is very important, and you do care very much!
祝 日のライチュウグッ ズ・クリスマス!お正月!ハロウィーン!
Raichu Holiday Goods! Christmas, New Year's, and Halloween!

Japan/America

Welcome to my totally awesome Holiday Chus! As for the New Year's items, these lovely things are actually some of the rarer Raichu thingies I have! The puzzle with all the Micey and Ratty pokemon you could only get by visiting the Pokemon Centers in Japan on New Years day, 2008! Year of the rat, you know! The matching postcard was sold only at Pokemon Centers that holiday season.

As for Christmas, here is a rare Raichu Christmas card, with original Pokemon Center artwork, EEE so adorables!!! I just love it!! The same art is on that Christmas box, which originally was sold with more Christmas goods inside. Moving right along with more original art (PS: almost all of this art is completely unique to these holiday items!), is the extremely amazing Christmas Plate and matching gift bag, from Pokemon Center 2005. Plus the unbelievably cool Stationary Set - mint in its own wrap! Featuring a wide array of popular Pokemon, these items are highly sought after, and I am very pleased to have them! I believe they are some of the only items featuring that artwork.

Finally is the tiny Halloween Candy Box with Raichu!! It was a lucky little find, but counts all the same to me! You rock, Raichu!!


ライ チュウ くっつくんで すマグネットなど
Raichu "We Stick" Magnets+Other Magnets

Japan/America/Europe/Other

Thanks for always holding up my ferret's vet notices!

I've got a generic Asian magnet, and two "We Stick" magnets from Japan. The big chunky one is from America, and the smaller black rubbery one is from Europe! Theflat orange, and red and green sparkly holo flat magnets are the official America/Europe "Staks" Magnets! YAY!!!

The flat one with its arms in the air is from a magnet book! You can see more on the lions page.

New addition is the orange square one - the retsuden magnet from Ensky, just come out in October 2009. So cute!

ライ チュウ バ トリオ パック (3種)
Raichu Battrio Pucks (3 kinds)

Japan 2010/2011
Pokemon Center/Battrio Machines

These are Battrio Pucks, for the popular "arcade-ish" game Pokemon Battrio. You put your puck on the board of the game and your Pokemon team (three at once) appears digitally on the screen. Fun times!

I don't play the game, but I REALLY like the art on the discs. The lions got QUITE a few before Raichu ever even got one - then he did, and there was MUCH rejoicing!! Then wouldn't you know it? A second (on the grey Pokeball) - and it is a promotional puck too, not available for regular sale!

This art is unique ONLY to Battrio pucks, and it's some of the cutest Raichu art around!

Raichu Coins (click for a bigger photo!)
I don't really know what these are used for... but here they are. Raichu coins! Should be the world's currency if you ask me. They are mostly metal, with a couple that are actually thick plastic. They are not cardboard pogs!

Japanese Coins:
バトルコイン (3)/ Battle Coin (3)
星形コイン/ Star Shaped Coin
キャラスピン/ Character Pin
カードゲームコイン/ TCG Coin (comes with Lt. Surge deck)
ミニスビー/ Mini "Subi" Coin
ADトレーディングコイン(2)/Advanced Generation Trading Coin (2)
The green one changes color depending on tempature - awesome!

Non-Japanese Coins:
Pokemon "Battling Coin Game" Coin
Rare Raichu Bottle Cap Coin
Raichu Bulgarian Cheetos Coin

ライ チュウ ポケモンゲットコイン2/ミュウと波導の勇者 (全4種)
Raichu "Get Coins" Set 2/Lucario Movie Set (Set of 4)

Japan 2005
Takara Tomy

This is a set of four differently colored Raichu coins, that came blind packaged with two per pack! There was also a keychain in each pack of two, so you could string them together for whatever purpose. Each coin came in four colors; silver, gold, bronze and full-color silver. Here is a complete set of Raichus, after many years of trying!

What's interesting is this set was made for the Lucario Movie, with Lucario Movie packaging and most of the Pokemon in the set being from the Lucario movie, like Mew, Lucario, Sudowoodo, Weaville, Mime Jr, etc. Why Raichu? Or as Raichu would say, rai Raichu?? Well, because he is Pikachu's evolution, and Pikachu got a coin, so that's just logic, folks.

Lucario's coin has Aaron's staff on the other side instead of Riolu. Because Riolu was not a thing yet, hoho!

ライチュウが入ったモンスターボール!
Replica Pokeball
with RAICHU inside!

America 1999

Look, I have one mint in box and one I used to store a bunch of my random Raichu stuff! Actually, I wasn't sure what this was for a while, until I DID get the one that is mint in box. Who woulda thought it was a REPLICA POKEBALL? It even suggests storing collectables inside on the box. Thank you, I will! Raichu is a slightly different mold than the Monster Collection Raichu, and on a spring that is springy. Yay! Springy spring!

ライ チュウの鉛筆、シャーペン、ボールペン、鉛筆ケース、などなど
Raichu Pencils, Pens, Mechanical Pencils, Pencil cases, and a Crayon.

Lots of Places
1995-2009?


Well, I have some Raichu pencils - or pencils starring Raichu - and here they is! Dunno what else to say other than - they's Raichu pencils! The "Battle Pencil/
バ トエ ン" (with Raichu on blue) is the one that came in that Raichu packaging. The metal pencil case is the only one I know of which features Raichu, and it was a Banpresto UFO Catcher prize! So cool! There is also the plastic case that has all the electrics but - hey, it counts! :D

And NOW! With big fat Raichu pen! From Europe! Amazering! ALSO! The official RoseArt Raichu crayon! For the record, the color is "Golden Raichu". Raichu is certainly golden in my book! The blue and white thing with four electrics is actually a mechanical pencil by Tomy. Who knew!

We also now add a mint in package Stamp Pencil Toppers pencil with a rolly stamp on the top, also with Raichu. Of course it has Raichu or it wouldn't be in this gallery.


ライチュウのクールなパンツ
Wearable Chu Boxers for the Stylish


America/Canada 2001
Nintendo

So.... these are Raichu boxer shorts. They are completely amazing, you got it?

They are very hard to find now, and luckily my pair has never been worn.

They took me years to find. ... ... ... they were very expensive.

I don't know what to think about that fact. XD


Raichu Puzzles

Japan/America

These lovely puzzles are actually some of the rarer Raichu thingies I have! The circular one is from a magazine published many years ago. The rectangular one (with matching box) is an American Hasbro puzzle from 1999.

To your right is a plastic Raichu puzzle piece. Somewhere out there is a plastic puzzle missing the coolest Pokemon ever :( Too bad! Mine now :D

I'm curious to see what other Raichu-central puzzles there might have been! You can see another puzzle with Raichu below in my holiday section :D

Pokemon Mini Quiz Book
- Vermilion Gym and Raichu!
This little book is TOO ADORABLE and super rare, found for me in amazing mint condition by my friend Juumou, hidden in a little lot of random stuff. Not only is it a mini Raichu book, it's a mini Raichu and Vermilion Gym book, which this website should make clear I am obsessed with! Inside is stickers and quiz questions about Pokemon Anime. You can stick the badge sticker on the back if you answer it all right! It also miraculously came with the pahmplet showing all 8 gyms!

ポケモンファミリーポ ンジャン (金銀, ミニ金銀, AG, ミニAG)
Raichu "Ponjyan" Tabs! (From GS, Mini GS, AG and Mini AG)

Japan
Tomy 1998-2006

These are from the "Ponjyan" game, a game similar to Chinese Mahjong, but a little more simplified for kids (I think). Pokemon has had over five of these games released! Raichu has been in at least four of them, and I have three of his tabs here! Each are thick plastic with the image printed on, not cheap stickers. The games are very hard  to get and expensive now.

I hope this set is complete... but who really ever knows with such old stuff eh?
Wearable Chu Watches for the Stylish

ピチュー・ピカチュウ・ライ チュウ デジキャラウォッチ
Raichu/Pikachu/Pichu "Digi-Chara Watch"

Japan 2003
Featuring an adorable Raichu covering most of the strap. AWESOME. Usually Raichu gets left out of these sorts of situations... so, AWESOME. Nice electric design too!

Pokemon C-Watch
America 1999-2000
Well this is clearly a Pikachu watch... so why is it here? Because it is the only instance of Pokemon where Ash's Pikachu evolves, and features two different parts about Raichu! First Ash calls "Raichu! Thunderstone!" followed by flashing pictures of Raichu and Pikachu screaming PIKACHUUUUUUU (shows how much the people who make Pokemon goods in other countries actually know about Pokemon). Next, Ash says "It's becoming Raichu!" and Pikachu flashes and evolves into Raichu. Amazing!

ピカチュウ・ライ チュウ ウォッチ
Raichu/Pikachu Watch

Banpresto/Japan 1995
Check out this awesome 3D Raichu on the watch! Also its original packaging. This was a UFO Catcher prize!

ライチュウのシャツ、服など
Raichu Shirts + Other Various Clothings!


America

Well! Here's all my weird Raichu clothes. Most are designed for a small child to wear, but a good handful of these could be worn by anybody.

There's a ton of t-shirts, long sleeved shirts, a vest, a jacket, and overalls. So, what are you going to do with these children's clothes, you might ask? Well, I will be keeping them safe. Nothing creepy. Just going to hoarde these clothes so that if my house is ever raided, they will think I am a creeper.

Oh, there is also some 'do not want' clothing I should mention. I post it here merely for documentation. This is not a wanted item....no, seriously. As glad as I am Raichu got some attention, I'm much gladder not hoarding children's undies in my house. I'd prefer the people who may raid me ne day to be confused, not sickened. You might not think so looking at my site, but hey man I got limits too!

ラ イチュウ帽子
Raichu Hats/Caps

America

These are from the late 90's, but I am not sure exactly when. Two have the American Pokemon logo on the back and two have it on the front. The one with the tan lid is the rarest and my favourite, it has an angry Pikachu to the side of Raichu! I dunno if I will wear them, and ruin them with my not-mint-condition hair, but how gangser is that black fabric cap?


ライチュ ウの
Raichu Books


Here we have a Japanese version of Electric Shock Showdown, a fully illustrated and HUGE Pokedex book with every Pokemon through Leaf Green and Fire Red, a Japanese pop-up book, and two American books - another Electric Shock Showdown and Raichu Shows Off. I wonder what he is showing off?

I love these books, but as usual, Japan beats all! Take a look inside of the Japanese Electric Shown Showdown book to see the really well drawn, original artwork! Also includes original artwork from the popup evolution book.



ライチュウの雑誌
Raichu Magazines


As the most famous of all Pokemon (it's true), Raichu has been on many magazine covers since 1995 and here is the proof. This is my collection of Raichu or Lt. Surge themed magazines, all of them also including articles or stories about Raichu or Surge on the inside.

ラ イチュ ウ ノートなど
Raichu Notebooks, Folders, etc.


How wonderful! Here we have folders and notebooks spanning many years, but mostly from the 90's -- from America, Japan, China, and Korea. Some are a big more electric-centric than Raichu-centric, and some only have Raichu featured on the back, but beggars can't be choosers now can we?
