Nasty Plot Sweeper Life Orb Static
Nasty Plot up and do damage. Simple Maths for you there. Life Orb turns Raichu from a mediorce sweeper into a potent one, and with it's crap defences, it's not going to last long anyway so you might as well go out with a good bang. Hidden Power Ice 70 is good over Grass Knot (Focus Blast KO's Tyranitar anyway) but if you don't have it, Grass Knot does brilliantly instead.
Mixchu Life Orb Static
MixChu uses its two signature moves, Thunderbolt and Volt Tackle to do its talking. Requires a good knowledge of Pokemon to pull off, although as long as you can predict what your opposing Pokemon has a lower defence in, you'll be fine. Grass Knot and Reversal are there for coverage really.. Reversal a bit of a wild card as you'll have to be at a low health to get the most out of it and would suicide as a result of the recoil, but can easily KO something you might not be able to counter that well.
SkArMbLiSsCoUnTeR Leftovers Static
Elecetrive can do similar, but Raichu is a lot faster thus giving him an edge. It works similar to a Sporepunching Breloom, expect less certain - Thunderwave an important Pokemon and be lucky enough to predict a switch. Or set up a Sub on change, it won't last long but it'll allow you to get that Focus Punch or extra attack in. Thunderbolt is good against Skamomry and Gyarados and Focus Punch will let you hit Tyrantiers and Blisseys.
