Trivia

Dark Raticate is the only Dark Pokémon that is a Common card in the English Team Rocket expansion, and one of only two Common Dark Pokémon in English. The other is Dark Octillery from Neo Destiny. Coincidentally, both of these cards were illustrated by Shin-ichi Yoshida. However, many other cards were Common in the Japanese releases of these two sets, and their rarity was boosted to Uncommon for the English releases.

Origin

Hyper Fang is a move in the Pokémon games that Raticate can learn.
