'''Rattata''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コラッタ''' ''Koratta'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Raticate}} starting at [[level]] 20.
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Raticate}} starting at [[level]] 20.


It is also the only possible [[starter Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Rumble]].
In [[Alola]], Rattata has a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Normal}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Raticate when [[level]]ed up at [[Time#Time-based evolutions|night]] starting at level 20.
 
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for these details.)
 
It is the player's [[List of the player's first Pokémon#Pokémon Rumble series|first]] [[Toy Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Rumble]] and [[Pokémon Rumble Rush]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rattata is a small, quadrupedal {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has purple fur with a cream-colored face, paws, and underbelly. It has narrow eyes containing white sclera and pupil with red irises, rounded ears with cream-colored insides, and a single whisker on each cheek. Its long tail is tightly curled at the end. Its most notable feature is its large teeth. Like most rodents, its teeth grow continuously throughout its life and must be worn down by gnawing. This also ensures that Rattata is not awoken by the sound of its grinding teeth while sleeping. Females will have shorter whiskers.
Rattata is a small, {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, but unspecialized rodent. Its most notable feature is its large teeth. Like most rodents, their teeth grow continuously throughout their lives, and must be constantly worn down by gnawing. It has long whiskers and a long, slightly curled tail. Rattata has purple fur on its back, and cream-colored fur on its stomach. This coloration (dark on top, light on bottom) is a common protective mechanism for many small animals.
 
====Gender differences====
Rattata can live wherever it can find food, which it searches for most of the day. Thanks to its sharp fangs, it is able to chew on nearly anything. When it is threatened, Rattata can deliver a powerful bite. Rattata constantly keep their ears up and will immediately scurry away from the slightest sound. {{p|Furret}} is the natural predator of Rattata. Its hardiness lets it live in many environments, although it mainly lives on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|plains and savannas}}. Because it reproduces so quickly, a pair of Rattata can quickly colonize an area. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Rattata is known to sleep sometimes with a log in its mouth.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>
Females have shorter whiskers and a lighter fur color.
 
Prior to [[Generation IV]], Rattata and its evolved form, {{p|Raticate}}, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Hyper Fang}} and {{m|Super Fang}}.
 
===Forms===
Rattata has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Rattata.
 
Rattata are non-native to [[Alola]] and arrived in cargo ships. The Rattata population in Alola was booming until {{p|Yungoos}} and {{p|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 {{p|Raticate}}.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-rattata/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Rattata]</ref> Alolan Rattata searches out fresh food by smell and ignores anything spoiled. It has even been known to sneak into people's homes to find food. It 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 replaced by shorter, thicker tufts of fur as well. The line where its cream underbelly meets its gray fur is ragged instead of smooth.
 
===Evolution===
Rattata evolves into {{p|Raticate}}.
 
{{rf|Alolan}} Rattata evolves into Alolan Raticate.

===Behavior===
====Alolan Rattata====
Rattata have a fast metabolism. As a result, it spends most of its fast-paced life looking for food. Thanks to their sharp fangs, they are able to eat nearly anything. However, because they constantly need to chew on hard material to keep their teeth at a manageable length, it is hard to tell if they are actually eating something, or merely gnawing on it. When they are threatened, Rattata can deliver a powerful bite. Cautious to the extreme, its  hardy vitality lets it live in any kind of environment. They are a common sight in many places, and can become a nuisance due to their rapid reproductive rate. It is said that for every one Rattata, forty other are hidden somewhere. Most young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s will train Rattata due to their easy accessibility.

====Rattata====
Rattata naturally live in plains and savannas. However, they are found in most areas due to their ability to survive nearly any environment. They are very common in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, {{rf|Alolan}} Rattata [[Evolution|evolve]]s into Alolan Raticate when [[level]]ed up at [[Time#Time-based evolutions|night]] starting at level 20. In {{LGPE}}, there is no [[time]] mechanic, so Alolan Rattata evolves starting at level 20, regardless of the time on the system clock.

Rattata are not picky when it comes to food, and will eat nearly anything edible. However, they're sometimes found in possession of the [[Chilan Berry]].

====Major appearances====
Rattata debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it was trying to steal food from {{Ash}}'s [[Bag|backpack]]. After Ash realized this and chased it off, it stopped for a moment to hiss at him before continuing to run away.
 
In ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]'', [[A.J.]]'s three Rattata were in his [[Gym]], {{pkmn|training}} with his {{p|Sandshrew}}.


[[A.J.]] has three Rattata, as shown in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''.
In ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', {{an|Casey}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a Rattata after battling it with her {{TP|Casey|Chikorita}}; and then, she used it in her battle against {{Ash}}, where it was defeated by his {{AP|Charizard}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In Ash's Pokédex, Rattata was referenced as a Forest Pokémon.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Rattata was originally known as ''Rattatak''.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Rattata was originally known as "Rattatak".
* Rattata is notorious for being associated with the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy.
* Rattata is notorious for being associated with the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy.
* Rattata and {{p|Raticate}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called Rat Pokémon in Generations I and II. Rattata and Raticate's species name was changed to 'Mouse' in Generation III onwards.
* Rattata and its evolved form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and {{p|Raticate}} were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* The fur around Rattata's mouth is colored white in its original artwork and its in-game sprites up until Generation IV (although its artwork for FireRed and LeafGreen does show this fur as being peach-colored).
* Rattata has gained notoriety among the fanbase due to {{tc|Youngster}} [[Joey]] on {{rt|30|Johto}}, and his phone calls claiming his Rattata to be within the top percentage of the species.
* Rattata and its evolution comprise the first two-stage evolutionary family in National Pokédex order.
* Rattata has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Rattata is the first pure {{type|Normal}} in National Pokédex order.
** Alolan Rattata has the lowest base HP and {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Rattata has gained infamy among the fanbase due to {{tc|Youngster}} [[Joey]] on {{rt|30|Johto}}, and his phone calls claiming his Rattata to be within the top percentage of the species.
* Alolan Rattata ties with {{p|Morpeko}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] Dark-type Pokémon.
* Rattata is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 253.
* Alolan Rattata may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Yungoos}}. They can be caught at certain times of the day (Yungoos at day, Alolan Rattata at night). They also evolve into {{p|Gumshoos}} and Alolan Raticate, respectively, at level 20 at their respective times. Also, their evolved forms are the Totem Pokémon in their respective games (Gumshoos in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}, Raticate in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}).
* In each region, there is a two-stage {{type|Normal}} Pokémon encountered early in the region. Rattata is the [[Kanto]] variation on this theme, while {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, and {{p|Patrat}} are those of other regions.
* Alolan Rattata and its evolution are the only regional forms that cannot be transferred out of {{g|HOME}} into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX]] game.
* As of [[Generation V]], Rattata can only learn {{type|Normal}} and {{type|Dark}} moves through level up.
* Together with {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Seedot}}, {{p|Ninjask}}, {{p|Pichu}}, and {{p|Goldeen}}, Rattata is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.


===Origin===
===Origin===
It is simply based on a real life {{wp|rat}}, the only difference is that Rattata is purple. The shape and position of its ears might be based from the {{wp|dumbo rat}}.
Rattata appears to be based on a {{wp|rat}} or a {{wp|mouse}}. Its large ears are similar to a {{wp|Fancy rat#Body type|dumbo rat}}.
 
Alolan Rattata appears to be based on the {{wp|black rat}}, {{wp|brown rat}}, or {{wp|Polynesian rat}}, all of which are {{wp|invasive species}} in {{wp|Hawaii}}. Their attacks on sugar cane fields caused the locals to import the {{wp|Small Indian mongoose}} into Hawaii as a form of pest control, explaining the relationship between {{p|Yungoos}}/{{p|Gumshoos}} and Rattata/Raticate. Its thieving behavior and tendency to work in groups under the command of a Raticate are reminiscent of a {{wp|gangster}}. The shape of its whiskers resembles the knot of a ''hokkamuri'' — a cloth wrapped around the head and tied under nose as a form of disguise, typically worn by thieves in Japanese media for comedic effect.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Rattata is likely a combination of ''rat'' and ''attack'', evident from its prototype name, "Rattatak" [http://www.reocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/4362/019RATTATAK.JPG]. Its name also sounds like the onomatopoeic word ''rat-a-tat''
Rattata may be a combination of ''rat'' and ''attack'', as indicated by its [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Localization-specific information|beta name]]. It may also incorporate ''rat-a-tat'' (a tapping sound).


Koratta is a combination of 子 ''ko'' (child) and ''{{p|Raticate|Ratta}}'' (Raticate's Japanese name), leaning toward the  meaning "child Ratta." It may also be a combination of 小 ''ko'' (small) and ''rat''.
Koratta may be a combination of 子 ''ko'' (child) or 小 ''ko'' (small) and ''rat''.
