I agree with you that the rats are good, but not the best. Rattata is good, but its 30 HP is bad. That's still not bad, and it's attacks are good. 1 colorless for 20 damage-that's real good for colorless(look at Persian's or Jigglypuff's attacks-2 for 20 damage.) Raticate's also good-bite and Super fang. Raticate was NOT meant to KO Pokemon with Super Fang-IT CAN'T unless the opponent has 10 HP left. Raticate was meant for weakening Pokemon like Charizard, and then switching out(1 retreat cost) for a Venusaur or Ninetales for the finish. Raticate's Super Fang takes off half of the Defending Pokemon's REMAINING hp, not its total HP. So it would not kill Charizard in 2 hits- it would do 60 then 30 then 20 etc. Pando Email- Pando333
