*A Rattata was seen by [[Ash Ketchum]] in ''[[Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', being the second [[Wild Pokémon|wild pokémon]] he ever saw.
  +
*[[A.J.]] had three Rattata's at his gym in ''[[The Path to the Pokémon League]]''.
  +
*In ''[[AG015: Gonna Rule the School!|Gonna Rule the School]]'', a student used a Rattata in battle.
  +
*Many Rattata ran away from the chaos caused by [[Pokémon Hunter J]] in ''[[DP071: Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 1|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''
  +
*[[Casey]] had a Rattata in ''[[The Double Trouble Header]]'', but the Pokémon was never seen afterwards.
  +
*In ''[[MS012: Pokémon - Arceus and the Jewel of Life|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Rattata appeared in the fight against [[Marcus]].
  +
  +
==Trivia==
  +
*Rattata originally had a ''k'' at the end of its name.
  +
**If it were to have the ''k'', its name would be Rattatak, and would have sounded like ''"Rat Attack"''.
  +
*Rattata is the first pure {{Type|Normal}}-type in the [[National Pokédex]] order.
  +
*Rattata, [[Pikachu]], [[Raichu]], [[Sandshrew]] and [[Sandslash]] are all known as the Mouse Pokémon.
  +
**Despite its classification, Rattata appears to be based off a [[:wikipedia:rat|rat]], rather than a mouse.
  +
*Every Generation has a two-stage, Normal-type Pokémon to be found early in the game. Rattata is the one from the First Generation.
  +
*A Rattata has the ability to use the F.E.A.R tactic. A plan that can have a very low level Rattata beat any Pokémon (except {{Type|Ghost}}-types). The Rattata holds a [[Focus Sash]] and has to know [[Endeavor]] and [[Quick Attack]]. The Rattata is attacked and would faint unless holding the Focus Sash which holds it to one HP. Rattata then uses Endeavor, making the Pokémon the move hit go down to one HP. Rattata then uses Quick Attack and unless the other Pokémon uses Quick Attack, [[Protect]]. [[Detect]] or a priority move Rattata will knock out the other Pokémon.
  +
  +
===Names in other languages===
  +
Rattata is based on a rat. Rattata's name includes the words ''rat'' and possibly ''attack'', considering its original name was going to be Rattatak. Koratta, the Japanese name, comes from ''rat'' and the prefix '''小''' ''ko'', meaning ''small''.

  • Rattata is the first pure Normal-type in the National Pokédex order.
  • Rattata, Pikachu, Raichu, Sandshrew and Sandslash are all known as the Mouse Pokémon.
    • Despite its classification, Rattata appears to be based off a rat, rather than a mouse.
  • Every Generation has a two-stage, Normal-type Pokémon to be found early in the game. Rattata is the one from the First Generation.
  • A Rattata has the ability to use the F.E.A.R tactic. A plan that can have a very low level Rattata beat any Pokémon (except Ghost-types). The Rattata holds a Focus Sash and has to know Endeavor and Quick Attack. The Rattata is attacked and would faint unless holding the Focus Sash which holds it to one HP. Rattata then uses Endeavor, making the Pokémon the move hit go down to one HP. Rattata then uses Quick Attack and unless the other Pokémon uses Quick Attack, Protect. Detect or a priority move Rattata will knock out the other Pokémon.
