Ratta

ラッタ

Raticate is a large, rodent-like Pokémon. Although it is frequently shown standing on its hind legs, it is actually a quadruped. Its body is primarily tawny with a cream-colored underside. It features narrow black eyes, ears with ragged edges and dark interiors, and large incisors that grow continuously. Three whiskers on each side of its face help it maintain balance. It has short arms with three-fingered hands and webbed feet with three toes, the webbing enabling it to swim. Its tail is long and scaly. Females possess shorter whiskers.
When attacked, Raticate stands on its hind legs, bares its fangs, and shrieks intimidatingly at its enemy. It is willing to confront larger foes if sufficiently provoked. Its teeth are strong enough to gnaw through steel, and because they grow constantly, it often needs to gnaw on objects like rocks and logs. It may even chew on house walls, capable of chewing through cinderblocks and toppling concrete buildings. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Raticate is known to sleep with a log in its teeth, gnawing on it during the process. This Pokémon typically inhabits plains and savannas.
Forms
Raticate has a regional form: Alolan Raticate.
In Alola, Raticate has become heavier and darker due to its urban environment and higher-calorie diet. Its fur is mostly black with a brown, leaf-shaped patch on its belly and brown interiors in its ears. Its hands, feet, cheeks, and tail are whitish-cream, and its hands are much smaller. It has large, puffy cheeks with four whiskers under its chin and two sprouting sideways from the top of each cheek. Its large incisors remain visible, but its eyes are now red.
This variant uses its nest as a food stockpile, generally preferring to have the Alolan Rattata it commands go out and forage for food while it stays in its nest and eats. However, it is selective in its diet, eating only fresh, high-quality foods such as fruits. Rumor has it that a certain high-class restaurant exploits this selectivity by bringing Raticate along to buy ingredients and letting it taste-test new dishes. Each Alolan Raticate has its own territory, and disputes over food and feeding grounds happen frequently. Alolan Raticate and Rattata are not native to Alola, having been brought to the region via cargo ships. Their populations grew drastically until Yungoos and Gumshoos were imported as a control measure.
A special Alolan Raticate in Alola acts as the Totem Pokémon for Ilima's trial in Verdant Cavern. This Raticate possesses Z-Power, an energy that originates from Ultra Wormholes and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Raticate and completing the trial is a Normalium Z (in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, it is a Darkinium Z instead).
