pikachu with light ball is better
I do not know it but you can get it by trading your Pikachu from Generation 1 (Yellow). It is sure to have a Light Ball. My estimation is 5% by using 'Thief' on wild Pikachus.
First, u find a pikachu that has the item, "Light Ball", which is very hard to find, but eventually u will. (or if u have hgss, red's pikachu is holding a light ball. You can use thief or trick to take it from him) Then find a girl Pikachu and someone who can breed with it. Have the male hold the Light Ball and when the baby Pichu hatches it will have Volt Tackle. Hope this helps!
There is only one sure-fire way to evolve a pikachu into raichu. The way to do it is by using a thunderstone on Pikachu. If you breed pikachu while it is holding a light ball, you can even get a Pichu.
The Light Ball won't work on a Raichu, since it only doubles the Sp. Atk of a Pikachu.
