[edit] Appearance
Compared to Rattata, Raticate is far more of a predator, and the majority of its features are adapted for this purpose. Its most notable feature are its large teeth; like most rodents, Raticate's teeth grow continuously throughout its life, and must be constantly worn down by gnawing. It is also known that Raticate's fangs are tough enough to break concrete. It has long whiskers and a long tail.
[edit] Special Abilities
Raticate's webbed feet allow it to swim well when it hunts its prey. It has the Run Away and Guts abilities; it has attacks, which may include Crunch, Double-Edge, Hyper Fang and Sucker Punch.
[edit] In Anime
Ash traded Butterfree to a gentleman on the SS Anne for a Raticate. However, he changed his mind, and they traded back. This was on Battle Aboard the St. Anne. The Kas Gym's Raticate was seen in the showdown at Dark City. Butchs Raticate was seen in The Ole' Berate and Switch. Cassidy's Raticate was seen in The Breeding Center Secret, The Fortune Hunters, and Training Daze! Ralph's Raticate and Emily's Raticate where seen in wherefore art thou, Pokemon? Mollies Raticate was seen in What I did for Love. And there has been other wild and owned Raticates in other episodes.

Based on its webbed feet and the was it is shapped, it can be based on the Coypu, or nutria. That is a semi-aquatic South American rodent.
[edit] Trivia
When Red and Blue was first released, Raticate was called a rat pokemon. But when the third generation started, it was changed to the mouse pokemon. In the Yellow pokedex, it mentions that Raticate swims for prey, however, it does not learn surf. There once was an overlook in the anime, where rattata is standing next to raticate. Raticate was actually as small as Rattata, which shouldn't normally happen.
