RATICATE Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4 Super Fang Hyper Beam Body SlamQuick Attack BlizzardBubblebeam Move Effect Type Pwr Acc Super Fang This move halves the target's current HP. Normal Var Dmg 90% Hyper Beam In Stadium, the user becomes uncontrollable during its next turn. Otherwise, the user attacks on turn one but it doesn't recharge on turn two if it KOs the target, breaks its Substitute or misses entirely. Normal 150 90% Body Slam Has a ~30% chance to paralyze the target. Normal 85 100% Quick Attack Usually goes first. Normal 40 100% Blizzard Has a ~10% chance to freeze the target. Ice 120 90% Bubblebeam Has a ~10% chance to lower the target's Speed by 1 stage. Water 65 100%           Other Options: Mimic, Counter (Tradeback), Screech (Tradeback). Verdict: Raticate only has one real trump card, that being Super Fang, but it's a good one. Raticate is also blessed with enough speed to attack before a lot of Pokemon. So, basically all it has to do is Super Fang something, be able to survive the opposing attack (which is harder than it sounds, as Raticate is extremely frail) and finish it off with Hyper Beam, Bubblebeam (against Rock/Grounds for quad damage) or Blizzard (for "power" against things that resist Hyper Beam). It doesn't have very good fourth move options, but Body Slam has its paralysis and Quick Attack will KO something weak. Overall, Raticate can actually be somewhat decent if played carefully.
