You can evolve Pikachu into Raichu by using a Thunder Stone. However, you must not evolve it immediately into Raichu, the reason is because you might not be able to maximize Pikachu’s skill/move tree. Pikachu learns powerful moves like Thunderbolt at Level 42 and Thunder at Level 58. Thunderbolt and Thunder doesn’t have a TM in Pokemon Sun & Moon, so its best if you evolve Pikachu to Level 58.
