Raticate (ラッタ Ratta) is a Normal type Pokémon and the evolved form of Rattata starting at level 20. Its teeth are so strong, that Raticate is able to eat through cinderblock walls.
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. Raticate looks like a rat, just like Rattata.

Special Abilities

Origins
It seems to be based off of the nutria, or coypu. Whilst Raticate's name comes from rat and eradicate.
Trivia
- In the Yellow Pokédex, it mentions that Raticate swims for prey, however, it does not learn Surf.
- There once was an overlook in the anime where Rattata was standing next to Raticate. Raticate was actually as small as Rattata, which shouldn't normally happen.
- There is a popular theory that claims that in the original Red/Blue GB games, the Raticate that your Rival used in battles before Lavender City died, due to your Rival's lines and the fact that his Raticate doesn't make any other appearance over the course of game.
