Description
Gorochu is an Electric-type Pokémon that was intended to be an evolution of Raichu in Generation I. Pikachu's original illustrator, Atsuko Nishida, and Pokémon designer Ken Sugimori revealed the lost evolution in an interview with Japanese newspaper Yomiuri on May 2, 2018, and Siliconera translated the article into English on May 3. The design was to include fangs and a pair of horns. Sugimori cited game balance issues, which led to the design being omitted from the games. Finally, the character's official back sprite was revealed, and it was shown to have only one horn. However, the rest of the Pokémon's appearance has yet to be revealed.
