Ever wondered what happened to the rival's Raticate in Kanto?

Hot dang this is moving fast paha. I always loved Rattata and would have up-voted him constantly, but Raticate I always found so ugly and creepy :(

I have come to like Raticate with the last Leaf Green playthrough I did, haha.

I use Raitcate a lot, even had a shiny one in Dark Energy(increased shiny rate). They're really good, escpecially with Hyper Fang!

13.

Although I never finished the challenge I had a Raticate for my Normal Monotype and I loved it a lot while using it. <3

 

[Squirrel]

Was the Raticate any good? I always figured it'd be one of those "too weak to survive a battle" Pokémon with not many redeeming features XD

 

[Voliol]

11

Isn't Raticate just a well-fed rat?

 

[mishy.]

12.

It was! Like what Flareon said, Hyper Fang can kill. 8) Don't underestimate the first route rodents.

 

[Voliol]

13.

Oh, right, it's a well fed rat with 2 signature moves. (before gen 4 that is)

Haha fair enough, maybe I can judge them a little! Not sure why though, I used a Linoone in my most recent AS run and kept him all the way from Route 2 up until the end of the Delta-arc. He was pretty strong but started being somewhat ineffective as the game progressed very far in XD

I did a solo run with Furret on my White and I never realized how much Defense Curl could be useful until it helped me defeat the fighting elite four. :') I should really get that furret to level 100 sinceit's at level 97 on my X now.

Awee are we talking about Furret? omg. I tried using one in G/S/C and again in HG/SS, was really hard but a fun challenge. Got a very pretty shiny one from Syd here too. :') Still need to take Amie pictures...

I remember training a Furret up in Silver years ago, I think I actually kept it on my team throughout the game. Furret is actually a decent Pokémon that can learn some surprisingly strong elemental moves.

 

[Meadow]

14.

I honestly prefer Linoone over Furret because I find the former cuter, as well as its pre-evolved form. <3

I actually think Furret is the cutest of the fully evolved regional rodents. However, I prefer Linoone and Diggersby, because they have better abilities. Bibarel is one of the best HM slaves, and Raticate is pretty strong too, particularly in Inverted battling. But Watchog? I hate that thing to no end!

 

[Meadow]

16.

Haha, HM Slaves. xD I would honestly like it if Game Freak did away with HMs for good, as there are so many better ways to prevent sequence breaking.

You know, Cut could be easily replaced with an axe, Rock Smash with a pickaxe, Flash with a lighter, and Rock Climb with a climbing kit.

Pokemon games are about doing stuff with your Pokemon...and not with some random tools xD

 

[classiccartoonsftw]

If you couldn't use tools in the Pokemon games, then there would be no fishing rods, no bicycle, no Silph Scope, no Poke Flute, etc.
