Rattata (コラッタ Koratta) is a small, but unspecified rodent. It is a Normal-type Pokémon. Its most notable feature is its large teeth. Like most rodents their teeth grow continuously throughout its life, and must be constantly worn down by gnawing. It will bite anything when it attacks; yet it will live peacefully side by side with Pidgey.

It evolves into Raticate starting at level 20.

[edit] Appearance

Rattata are small and very quick. It is a common sight in many places. It has long whiskers and a long, slightly curled tail. Rattata has purple fur on its back, and cream colored fur on its stomach. This coloration, called counter-shading (dark on top, light on bottom), is a common protective mechanism for many small animals.

[edit] Special Abilities

A newly-caught Rattata knows Tackle and Tailwhip. It has the Guts and Run Away abilities; its other moves may include Bite, Quick Attack, Reversal, and Super Fang. It evolves into Raticate at level 20.


[edit] In the Anime

Rattata was the first wild Pokémon seen by Ash in Pokémon! I choose you. AJ's Rattata is seen in The Path to the Pokémon League. Casey's Rattata is seen in The Double Trouble Header. There have been random trainers with Rattata in different episodes (around 12.) And there have been wild Rattatas in others (around 28.)
