Oracle Text

Card Details
Set
Character Background
Rattata from Base Set is a classic low-cost pressure piece that best fits an aggro or tempo plan, where early damage matters more than raw staying power. As a Basic Colorless Pokémon, it slides into almost any deck without demanding specific Energy colors, making it a reliable opener when you want to start attacking immediately. Bite for 20 is modest, but in Base Set terms it is enough to punish slow setups, finish off damaged Pokémon, and force awkward exchanges before the opponent stabilizes. Thematically, Rattata feels like a skittering pack hunter: small, scrappy, and always threatening in numbers rather than alone. In deckbuilding, it pairs well with other cheap Basics and early disruption so you can keep the opponent on the back foot; if your list aims to win by tempo, include enough switching and quick attackers to preserve momentum, since Rattata’s value comes from acting first and keeping the pressure constant.
