Card Details
Set
Character Background
Raticate from Base Set is a deceptively nasty tempo attacker that fits best in an aggressive or disruptive Colorless shell, where its cheap attacks let you keep pressure on while forcing awkward prize trades. Bite is straightforward chip damage, but Super Fang is the real draw: cutting the Defending Pokémon’s remaining HP in half, rounded up to the nearest 10, makes it excellent for cracking bulky targets that would otherwise take multiple turns to finish. That means Raticate rewards sequencing and setup more than raw damage output, especially if you pair it with effects that spread early damage or soften retreat-heavy Pokémon before it swings. In deckbuilding, it works well alongside Gust-style effects and any source of fixed chip damage, since even a small hit can set up Super Fang to threaten a knockout range next turn. Thematically, it feels like a relentless scavenger—small, fast, and punishing once it finds a weakness.
