Trivia

• In Pokémon Red and Blue, Raticate was classified as a rat Pokémon. However, in from Generation III onward, it is classified as a mouse.
• Though its Pokémon Yellow Pokédex entry states that it can swim in rivers to hunt for prey, it cannot learn the move Surf.
• With the exception of Smeargle, Raticate and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon that learn Flame Wheel, yet aren't Template:Type2.
• Raticate is the only Pokémon whose catch rate has changed. It was 90 prior to Generation III, when it changed to 127.

Origin

Its webbed feet, body shape, and overall design are very similar to the coypu, or nutria, a semi-aquatic South American rodent.

Name origin

Raticate's name seems to be a combination of rat and eradicate, meaning to destroy or exterminate. Ratta seems to be derived from rat alone, although it should be noted that Rattata's Japanese name, Koratta is that of Raticate's with ko (child) in front of it.

In other languages

• German: Rattikarl - A combination of Ratte (rat) and radikal (radical). Also incorporates the first name Karl (Carl).
• French: Rattatac - From rat and attaque (attack).
• Korean: 레트라 Reteura
• Chinese (Taiwan): 拉達 Lá Dá - Transliteration of Raticate's Japanese name, Ratta.
• Chinese (Hong Kong): 哥達 Ge Dá - Same as pre-evolved form Rattata except without the 'little'.
