==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
One day, the young Yellow wandered alone into [[Viridian Forest]]. {{adv|Red}} happened across her as she was being attacked by a rampaging {{p|Dratini}}, Red saved her, and then noticed she had no Pokémon. He loaned her [[Pika]], and under his instruction, she battled a wild {{p|Rattata}} and caught it.
[[File:Ratty Rattata.png|thumb|175px|left|As a Rattata]]
Ratty first appeared as a Rattata in ''[[PS036|Drat That Dratini!]]'' as one of the many Pokémon living in [[Viridian Forest]]. When {{adv|Red}} met {{adv|Yellow}} he lent her his [[Pika]] to capture her first Pokémon, which happened to be Rattata. With Red's guidance Rattata is captured as Yellow's Pokémon.
 
==={{chap|Yellow}}===
In ''[[PS045|Cloystered]]'', Ratty helped Yellow in her escape from [[Lorelei]] and her {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. When Yellow and {{adv|Bill}} were trapped by a chunk of ice Ratty slips underneath it and uses {{m|Hyper Fang}} to drop it into the river, allowing them to escape.
 
In ''[[PS048|Paras Sight]]'', Ratty battled alongside [[Dody]] against {{tc|Super Nerd}} Miles in an attempt to rescue Pika. Completely pinned by Miles's attack, Yellow decides to give herself up to {{p|Marowak}}'s {{m|Bonemerang}}, recalling Ratty and Dody before taking a direct hit to the chest. Although injured, Yellow attaches Ratty and Dody's {{i|Poké Ball}}s to the bone, which come swinging back at him. Ratty and Dody then get released and help Pika to escape. When Miles pursue them the three release a combo attack, with Ratty breaking apart a nearby building with his teeth, Dody kicking them in the air, and Pika electrifying them and sending it at Miles, defeating him.


Remembering Red’s words, Yellow raised Ratty with a kind and gentle heart, and he became her first deeply trusted Pokémon friend. He aided her and Bill in escaping from the [[Elite Four]] member [[Lorelei]], and helped finish off the {{tc|Super Nerd}} who attempted to take away Pika in [[Celadon City]].
In ''[[PS053|Can't Catch Caterpie!]]'', Ratty battled against a wild [[Kitty|Caterpie]] that Yellow wished to catch. The two spent all day trying but could not find a way to do it without hurting him. {{adv|Blue}} eventually steps in and helps the two capture Caterpie. After the battle, Ratty [[Evolution|evolves]] into a Raticate, much to Yellow’s shock and initial dismay. By the next morning, she had recovered from the trauma and declared that regardless of his appearance, Ratty is still the same Ratty, and it would not bother her anymore.

[[PS057|Shortly after evolving]], Ratty gnawed the sinking [[S.S. Anne]] in two to help Yellow defeat [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken, Al, and Harry]].


While they trained with {{adv|Blue}}, Ratty evolved into a {{p|Raticate}}, much to Yellow’s shock and initial dismay. She had not known about Pokémon evolution (or very much about Pokémon at all, aside from her fondness for and empathy with them) prior to this training. By morning, she had recovered from the trauma and declared that regardless of his appearance, Ratty is still the same Ratty, and it would not bother her anymore. Nevertheless, the experience influenced her and after learning about the evolution cancel feature of the Pokédex, she kept the rest of her team unevolved until she lost it.  
In ''[[PS082|Eradicate Raticate!]]'', Ratty is sent out alongside his teammates to battle against [[Lance]] and his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}. Ratty attacks with a {{m|Super Fang}}, but {{p|Dragonite}} simply shrugs it off and throws Ratty away. He is [[PS087|later]] used in a team attack to try and stop Lance from shooting bubbles. Yellow had Kitty cover the volcano crater in {{m|String Shot}} to form a net that is doused by her [[Omny]]'s water, linked to Ratty's sensitive whiskers. Upon Lance triggering the net, Ratty signals to Pika to send electricity down the net, forcing Lance's bubble into view. Yellow then orders Dody to break the bubble with {{m|Drill Peck}}, but the attack proves too weak.


Shortly after evolving, Ratty gnawed the sinking [[S.S. Anne|S.S. ''Anne'']] in two to help Yellow defeat {{adv|Ken}}, [[Al]], and [[Harry]]. He remained with her throughout her quest to find the missing Red and defeat the Elite Four, fighting with her against [[Lance]] in the final battle on the {{p|Lugia|Legendary Pokémon}}’s back high above [[Cerise Island]]. In the ''{{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}'', Ratty was seen defending the Day Care Center with the rest of her Pokémon from the half-masked Team Rocket Grunts. She used Ratty in the ''{{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}'' to help save Silver. She used him to cut though Team Rocket's plane with Hyper Fang.
In ''[[PS089|The Might of... Metapod?!]]'', Ratty participated along the rest of Yellow's team to battle Lance and assisted in defeating his team.

History

Red, Green & Blue arc

As a Rattata

Ratty first appeared as a Rattata in Drat That Dratini! as one of the many Pokémon living in Viridian Forest. When Red met Yellow he lent her his Pika to capture her first Pokémon, which happened to be Rattata. With Red's guidance Rattata is captured as Yellow's Pokémon.

Yellow arc

In Cloystered, Ratty helped Yellow in her escape from Lorelei and her Ice-type Pokémon. When Yellow and Bill were trapped by a chunk of ice Ratty slips underneath it and uses Hyper Fang to drop it into the river, allowing them to escape.

In Paras Sight, Ratty battled alongside Dody against Super Nerd Miles in an attempt to rescue Pika. Completely pinned by Miles's attack, Yellow decides to give herself up to Marowak's Bonemerang, recalling Ratty and Dody before taking a direct hit to the chest. Although injured, Yellow attaches Ratty and Dody's Poké Balls to the bone, which come swinging back at him. Ratty and Dody then get released and help Pika to escape. When Miles pursue them the three release a combo attack, with Ratty breaking apart a nearby building with his teeth, Dody kicking them in the air, and Pika electrifying them and sending it at Miles, defeating him.

In Can't Catch Caterpie!, Ratty battled against a wild Caterpie that Yellow wished to catch. The two spent all day trying but could not find a way to do it without hurting him. Blue eventually steps in and helps the two capture Caterpie. After the battle, Ratty evolves into a Raticate, much to Yellow’s shock and initial dismay. By the next morning, she had recovered from the trauma and declared that regardless of his appearance, Ratty is still the same Ratty, and it would not bother her anymore.

Ratty and Yellow

Shortly after evolving, Ratty gnawed the sinking S.S. Anne in two to help Yellow defeat Ken, Al, and Harry.

In Eradicate Raticate!, Ratty is sent out alongside his teammates to battle against Lance and his Dragonite. Ratty attacks with a Super Fang, but Dragonite simply shrugs it off and throws Ratty away. He is later used in a team attack to try and stop Lance from shooting bubbles. Yellow had Kitty cover the volcano crater in String Shot to form a net that is doused by her Omny's water, linked to Ratty's sensitive whiskers. Upon Lance triggering the net, Ratty signals to Pika to send electricity down the net, forcing Lance's bubble into view. Yellow then orders Dody to break the bubble with Drill Peck, but the attack proves too weak.

In The Might of... Metapod?!, Ratty participated along the rest of Yellow's team to battle Lance and assisted in defeating his team.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

In The Last Battle VII, Ratty was seen defending the Day Care Center with the rest of her Pokémon from the half-masked Team Rocket Grunts.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

Ratty appeared in Down-for-the-Count Deoxys to help open a way onto the Team Rocket airship.

Personality and characteristics

Being Yellow's first Pokémon the two of them share a strong bond, evident by the fact that Yellow releases those she does not consider her friend. After Ratty evolved, though, Yellow tended to use her other Pokémon for battle.

Trivia

  • The statistics shown at the end of Volume 5 of VIZ Media's second edition show that Ratty evolved into its Raticate stage around Lv. 10 contrary to the games where it evolved at level 20. This is due to an error of listing both Ratty and Yellow's Dody (Doduo) at the same level as Volume 4.
  • Ratty is Yellow's only Pokémon who did not evolve in The Might of... Metapod?!.
