Rattata (Japanese: コラッタ Koratta) is a Normal-type pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Raticate starting at level 20.
In Alola, Rattata has a dual-type Dark/Normal regional form, Alolan Rattata. It evolves into Alolan Raticate when leveled up at night starting at level 20.
Rattata is the player's first Toy pokémon in pokémon Rumble and pokémon Rumble Rush.
In the Alola region, Rattata has dark gray fur and grayish-purple ear insides. There are two tufts of fur on each ear and near the tip of its tail. Its long, thin whiskers are also replaced by shorter, thicker tufts of fur. The line where its cream underbelly meets its gray fur is ragged instead of smooth. Unlike its Kantonian form, it often stands on its hind legs, giving it a more bipedal appearance.
Rattata and Raticate are non-native to Alola and came to the region in cargo ships. The Rattata population in Alola was booming until Yungoos and Gumshoos were imported as a control measure. In order to avoid these new predators, Rattata altered its habits. It moved to more urban areas, became nocturnal, and formed large nests led by Alolan Raticate. These adaptations and territorial disputes eventually led to it acquiring its new appearance. Alolan Rattata searches for fresh food and ignores anything spoiled. Its whiskers provide it with a keen sense of smell, allowing it to find hidden food instantly. Humans are known to use it when they go shopping for fresh food. Alolan Rattata becomes active when the sun sets and looks for food to give to its boss. It has even been known to sneak into people's homes by gnawing through doors with their incisors. There has been a massive outbreak of Rattata in Alola due to this behavior, making them an issue of public concern. It and Alolan Raticate are Gumshoos' preferred prey, but they hardly ever encounter each other due to their opposing circadian rhythms.
