I love the pikachu that was given to me from one of my friends but I'm a little hesitant to evolve him using a thunderstone. I'm waiting until he is level 45 and learns thunder but should I evolve him afterward?

Naturally Raichu has higher base stats, but Pikachu can make deadly use of a Light Ball (which neither Pichu nor Raichu can). Thunder isn't really worth it unless you're running Rain Dance on your team, as Thunderbolt is still powerful and a missed Thunder will spell doom for Pikachu.

You can buy Thunder for like, 10000 gold or something, it's not worth waiting for

^ this.

Thunder is a TM move that can be taught @ any level.

Personally I would have it from a pichu and made sure it had Nasty Plot before evolving all the way up to Raichu.

Well he was traded to me as a pikachu so the pichu idea is dead unless I want to start from scratch and finding a light ball seems like a pain but a very worthy item to find hmmmmm plus with the light ball i could breed a pichu with volt tackle

Wait, Thief lets you keep the item of a NPC? Thought it was only for the battle.
