Raichu vs Raiden

does raiden stand a chance

You tell me.

Raichu Pokedex:
"It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size."
"Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint."

I'm guessing Raichu wins?

Raichu is gay.
also Pokedex can contain hyperbole.

none of that sounded like hyperbole to me.

when she smiles her cheeks fall off."
that is a hyperbole

No, that's Joan Rivers.

A Hyperbole is exaggeration for emphasis.

"That fish was as big as a house."

That is a hyperbole.

No, it wouldn't. Like I said in another thread, Pokemon in general are naturally very durable. Other Pokemon can defeat Raichu with their own abilities.

100, 000 volts sounds more like a statement to me.

I don't think Raichu would be able to hurt him you given the fact that he is a Thunder God. That's like saying Electro can beat Thor.

But Cole and Kessler can still be hurt by Electricity. As can Pikachu and Raichu and many other electrical characters. Electricity is usually less effective, but I don't know that it won't still work.

Has Raiden demonstrated total control over electricity?

They aren't Gods though, I know that term is subjective to universes, and I am in no way saying that God=win.

This is the only thing I could find really, I'm no MK expert and you can ignore the last part seeing as dying the first time would be enough for a victory. Raiden has however shown the power to convert his body into lightning/energy.

The thunder god of the Mortal Kombat universe is also a protector of Earthrealm. Raiden commands many supernatural abilities such as the ability to teleport, control over lightning, and flight. As an immortality, he thinks in terms of eternity rather than normal human lifespans and his memories date back to the beginning of time itself. It is unlikely that Raiden can ever be truly killed. Even if his mortal form is destroyed, Raiden will rematerialize some time afterward.

Ah, forgot to take some of those things about Raiden into account..

Yeah, this could pretty much go either way then, though I'm leaning more towards Raiden now.
Plus, he has banished Shinnok (a former Elder God) to the Netherrealm, held his own against the Deadly Alliance, and stuff, so he's not exactly featless like a certain majority of MK characters are.

For a minute, I thought we were talking about Metal Gear's Raiden.

I gotta go with the Thunder god on this one. If all fails, he's got the suicide bomb.

I don't think electricity would have any affect on Raiden, he appears to be more or less composed of it.

it says he controls lightning not electricity
