Pachirisu! most people's least favorite Electric Rodent but my favorite!
No banning (like it would happen!) discussion please!Please try NOT to say other things outclass it. if you do try to discuss something about Pachirisu.
Pachirisu doesn't have very much to offer at all and to put it short it's stats are craptastic. It's not an exaggeration to say that Ledian is even better. However pachirisu got quite a few new toys to play with this gen and let's see how well he will do in the lower tiers!
Movepool, stats, and abilities: http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/417.shtml
Thank you dreamworld! no longer does Pachirisu have useless abilities! it gets Volt Absorb now! too bad it couldn't get lightningrod or Motor drive but volt absorb will suffice.
(I will not specify which ability I want as it's always votl absorb unless stated otherwise)
Bite then Scout!
Leftovers, Timid
252spe/200 Hp/56def
~Volt Change
~U-turn
~Super Fang
~Thunder wave/toxic
This set uses Pachirisu's solid speed and defenses! come in on a predicted Electric attack, when a teamate faints, or when you're up against a wall. The idea behind this set is to use Super fang to bring the opponent to half. then cripple them and or use either of the two scouting moves you have access to.
This set while seemingly bad let's Pachirisu's teamates take out a wall more easily or make a fast sweeper slower if you opt for thunderwave. with correct prediction you can switch in a frail sweeper and take a resisted hit. Due to Pachi's only weakness (ground) it's not a bad idea to switch in a levitator of a Flyer or someone who resists ground type attacks.
This set takes TONS of prediction but the payoff can be quite nice int he lower tiers.
Just Stop with the tears!
Leftovers/Life orb, timid.
252 spe/252sp.atk/4hp
~Fake Tears
~Super Fang
~Thunderbolt
~Hp Ice
Fake Tears will often force switches so you can super fang them on the switch then use fake tears again. If they do stay in Thunderbolt and Hidden power ice are good moves to use. This set is mediocre at best but it may surprise some faces.
Tiny Wall

252spd/252hp/4spA
~Toxic/U-turn/Volt Change
~Super Fang
~Light Screen
~Discharge
The supportisu set returns with Volt absorb and Volt change! this is pretty much one of the only good sets you can run with pachirisu. Light screen for added sp.def.

Pachirisu @ Balloon/R.Battery
Hasty
252 Att/ 4 Spd/ 252 Spe
~ Endure
~ Flail
~ Quick Attack/ Volt Change
~Light Screen/ Super Fang/ Toxic
He sadly doesn't have many usebale sets, anyway, come in on a predicted switch, (balloon is prefered so you can come in on a predicted EQ), endure the next hit, Flail, and if your still alive, possibly Quick Attack kill the foe. Requires alot of predicting, but if your lucky you can get a KO. If your faster than the next opponent, you can set up Light Screen, take away half the opponent's health, or status them. Not very efficient in most cases, but if you can read your opponents, it's a quite valuable KO. Other than the other sets though, poor Pachirisu is pretty much outclassed by anything, even in the lower tiers, it's stats and stat distribution are just too poor =/
So what do you guys think of our little electric squirrel here?
