You do not know what you are talking about. No pokemon can do 30 damage?
Whatever! Farfetch'd. Nidoran. Those can do 30. Oh yeah, what about
weaknesses? Hitmonchan and Machop can kill in one hit. How 'bout that?
One of the best basics? Again, whatever. You have lost it. Geez, many
basics are better than Rattata. Here, I'll try to name the ones that
aren't better. Magikarp. Porygon. Doduo. Gastly. Pidgey. That's it.
Flare, before you write another article, start thinking. Rattata sucks.
Raticate sucks too. Well, that's all, until I write again.
