Want to have a cute Alola Raichu on your team? First, you'll have to find a Pichu. This article will explain how.
Steps
-
1Go to Route 1. Pichu can only be found in the patch of grass near the exit to Iki Town, so go there. You have a 5% chance of finding one, so it may take a while to do so.

2Run in that patch of grass until you find a Pichu.Advertisement
-
3Damage the Pichu a bit. Be careful not to faint it, or you'll have to search for another one.
-
4Use a Poké Ball. Any ball will do. Your best bet is to use a Nest Ball, since it'll be at a low level.
-
5Make sure it is registered to your Pokédex and save.
