SPOILERS! Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon New Pokemon/Moves Info

I don´t know if this is the right place to ask, but what set would be good for surf-chu in battle spot doubles (which is by far my most favorite format?? And would be Kantonian or Alolan variant better?

I love Kanto Raichu, it´s my signature poke of sorts, but I have a feeling that in this case Alolan is better, simply because Surge Surfer is superior to Static and because of slightly better special attack. Bad thing is you can´t (I am 99,9 % sure of that, but still hoping someone will prove me wrong) breed him (well, you can, but Surf would not be passed onto offspring), so no Lightingrod, no Fake out, no Encore.

I was thinking:

Raichu-A
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 Sp. Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Item: Alolaraichum Z/Life Orb
- Surf (well, duh)
- Thunderbolt/Thunder
- Psychic
- Protect

I will try this on rain team with either Koko (for that speed and electric power boost) or Lele (to stop Sucker Punches and to boost Psychic). Rain for max damage from Surf and 100 % accurate Thunder. The moves are simple, Surf (the move I am doing this for, negates the need for HP Ice and with rain boost it will pack a punch. TBolt/Thunder and Psychic are obligatory STABS, also getting boosts from their respective terrains. Protect is self-explanatory. So, what do you think?
Hey Siria!

I'm not 100% sure, but this might be the thread you're looking for: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/doubles-viability-rankings.3593890/

*Edit: Hold up haha, I found another one: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/doubles-general-discussion-thread.3595001/

I would run Modest if running wih TKoko, and Timid if with TLele!
