When are they gonna buff pikachu/raichu

Obviously because on the plans by NIA was to dump it with all the giblets. Sacrificing its rareness and everyone's desire to have it whatever it takes. Their goal was to simply flood your Pokémon clutch bag in order to push you closer to the line where you might decide to buy Pokémon Escudos to expand it and buy more of other stuff. What's the point to buff it when its future for at least 6 next months to be forgotten and unwanted. I would be able to see those annoying red hoods for several next months for dam sure. Such is a business. But then they could get back it's fame by setting a higher stats for this feller.

Hopefully never bc that would mess up my training squad

pikachu was always weak...raichu can be an effective prestieger.

they didn't purposely make jolteon stronger, they just made pokemon that are generally stronger in one area (ie attack/sp attack/def/sp def) stronger. This made the more balanced pokes "weaker". That's why alakazam, kingler, rhydon, golem all got stronger.

The only way to make a pokemon stronger would be to re-tweak the formula or go off base...or be a lapras - as if it needed any more help.

POGO base stats are figured as such:
=ROUND(ROUND(2x((MAX(attack,special attack)x7/8)+(MIN(attack,special attack)x1/8)),0)x(1+((speed-75)/500),0)

then take that number by the level modifier to get its actual attack used in the game.
(same formula for defense just replace "attack,special attack" with "defense,special defense" from the gen 7 base pokemon stats)
*apologies for the semi-excel formula.

ie pikachu's attack (base atk=55, sp atk=50, spd=90)
=ROUND(ROUND(2x((55)x7/8)+50x1/8)),0)x(1+((90-75)/500),0)
=ROUND(ROUND(2x48.125+6.25)),0)x(1+((15)/500),0)
=ROUND(109x1.03)
=112
you then take that times the level modifier (if he's lvl 14 the modifier is about 0.5) therefore 112*.5=56.
56 would be the number the game uses to see how much damage it does to the other pokemon. but that's a whole different story.

Yea, they just changed the formula to better fit the actual rankings (Gengar/Alakazam on top), and thats where it puts Raichu. The only Pokemon that is not included is Lapras, who's CP is supposed to be lower

When Picka becomes Strong his cuteness will vanished...
