[[Category:Normal-type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation I Pokémon]] [[Category:Purple Pokémon]] Rattata (Japanese: コラッタ Koratta) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. 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, though it will live peacefully side by side with Pidgey.
Appearance
Rattata is mouse-like, with large incisors and a whisker on either side. Female Rattata have shorter whiskers than the males. The fur is purple, with a white or cream colored underside. Rattata have red eyes, with no obvious pupils. The tail is long, and curled slightly at the tip. Rattata have three-toed paws, which are the same color as its underbelly.
Special abilities
They are pretty bad Pokémon.
Evolution
Rattata evolves into Raticate once it reaches level 20.
