Trivia

• In earlier versions of the game, an error made Gorochu's base Special Attack stat 900 instead of 132.

Design + Name Origin

• Based upon a very early version of the first Pokemon game, where a Raichu was said to have evolved when traded to an NPC, but this was only due to a error in the translation of the text. Although, according to the Pokemon Designer Atsuko Nishida, there was a design for a Raichu evolution, in which he stated, "I was told to make its final form look strong. That's right, there was a evolved form after Raichu at the time. It's name was Gorochu."
• Design was based from an early version of the Raichu line which had Gorochu as a part of it, in the same art style. Was meant to represent some kind of 'God of Thunder'.
• Gorochu was scrapped before the full release of "Pokemon Red and Blue", but is still one of the earliest 'beta' designs of a Pokemon, besides all the designs in the orginal "Pokemon Red and Green", which was a beta to the "Red and Blue" series with different designs to all the original 151 Pokemon.
