Sounds awesome! I think I'd only keep yawn myself. (On the Pikachu) I feel that Sleep Talk is only worth having if one has some neat moves to use other than Snore. On a completely unrelated topic, I passed French with a B+! ^^

Well, Sleep Talk is great for a Rest-Talk strategy. Use Rest, then Sleep Talk, so you can use your other attacks. Plus, it allows you to absorb the Sleep inducing status of the enemy, and with Sleep Clause on, stops the enemy using Sleep moves until your Rest-Talker wakes up. :p

But, to make good use of the Rest-Talk strategy, your Poké must have at least competent defenses, and unfortunately, Raichu's are subpar, so a Rest-Talk set like Thunderbolt / Hidden Power Ice / Rest / Sleep Talk is not viable on him. :/

Congrats on your French exam ! Glad to hear you succeeded it, and thank you for informing it to me ! :D

Ha ha :D
Yeah, apparently. :p It would just lacks Slack Off (too bad, that would have been a neat special move).

And, I forgot it, but this Pikachu apparently comes with a Chesto Berry (cures Sleep condition), to complete the theme. :p
