Raticate (Japanese: ラッタ Ratta) is a Normal-type pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Rattata starting at level 20.
In Alola, Raticate has a dual-type Dark/Normal regional form, Alolan Raticate. It evolves from Alolan Rattata when leveled up at night starting at level 20.
In the Alola region, Raticate has mostly black fur with a brown, leaf-shaped patch on its belly and brown inside its ears. Its hands, feet, cheeks, and tail are a whitish-cream color, and its hands are much smaller. It has large, puffy cheeks with four whiskers under its chin and two sprouting sideways from the top of each cheek. Its large incisors are still visible, but its eyes are now red.
Raticate and Rattata are not native to Alola, having been brought to the region via cargo ships. Their populations grew drastically until Yungoos and Gumshoos were imported as a control measure. It is also said that Raticate swam to Alola to escape its enemies. Alolan Raticate is heavier and darker than its Kantonian counterpart due to its urban environment and higher calorie diet. Its prefered kind of food is fresh fruits and high-class ingredients, so restaurants earn a good reputation by making use of its taste buds and having it try different dishes and select the right ingredients while shopping. It uses its nest as a food stockpile, and generally prefers to have the Alolan Rattata it commands to go out and forage for food while it remains in its nest and eats. Each Alolan Raticate has its own territory, and disputes between them over food and feeding grounds happen frequently. It and Alolan Rattata are Gumshoos' favorite prey, but as they are active at different times of they day, they rarely encounter each other.
A special Alolan Raticate in Alola acts as the Totem pokémon for Ilima's trial in Verdant Cavern. This Raticate possesses Z-Power, an energy that originates from Ultra Wormholes and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Raticate and completing the trial is a Normalium Z (in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, it is a Darkinium Z instead).
