Character info
The character
Raticate is the evolved form of Rattata, known in the Pokémon series as the Mouse Pokémon. It is recognized for its large front teeth, which never stop growing and must be worn down by constant gnawing. Raticate is common across many regions and is often depicted as a resourceful, territorial creature that thrives in both urban and wild environments.
This card
This is Raticate from the Evolutions set, numbered 67/108, printed as a reverse holo with standard Rare rarity. The artwork, illustrated by Ken Sugimori, shows Raticate in a crouched, alert pose against a grassy background. The card's text box and layout follow the Evolutions set's retro-styled design, echoing the original Pokémon base set aesthetic.
How it plays
Raticate is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 60 HP, evolving from Rattata. Its first attack, Crunch, costs one Colorless Energy and deals 10 damage while discarding an Energy card attached to the opponent's Active Pokémon. Its second attack, Shadowy Bite, also costs one Colorless Energy and deals 60 damage multiplied by the number of Special Energy cards in the opponent's discard pile. It has a weakness to Fighting-type attacks (×2) and a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy.
