>ITT: Over looked Pokemon that are actually good
I usually avoid the rat along with most early route trash but he's pretty strong and learns quite a few powerful moves quickly.
>Raticate doesn't learn the elemental fang moves.
Fuck you Game Freak.
I agree though OP, Raticate is pretty cool.

Well shit it's true.
>Hidden ability isn't Strong Jaw
Even in this image he seems to be saying "hey cmon guys, gimme me a chance, I get spore, cmon be a pal and use me"

spore and false swipe and dry skin

Gen 1 Parasect was a hardwall to Snorlax and Slowbro. Those were the glory days.

i've always found raticate genuinely scary. It just looks like it could and would shred you at first glance
>>27977880
My nigga. He's got quite a bit of utility moves and you can even surprise people with a Swords Dance set
I really only caught and used the Rat line to fill up the dex back in the day.
When RBY was rereleased on VC I decided to use it until I got to the end of the gyms. Rat bro was a lot of fun. As far as the route 1 trashmon goes it was surprisingly satisfying. Hyper Fang can be brutal in battle.
Raticate is actually pretty good early in RB ecause its fast and gets Hyper Fang so quick which is absurd with STAB
