Concept artwork of Alolan Rattata, two of which are alongside an Alolan Raticate boss.
Rattata is rat-like, with large incisors, a slight hump on its back towards the rear, a slightly pudgy
belly, and a whisker on both sides. Female Rattata have shorter whiskers than the males. The fur
of a normal variant is purple, with a white or cream colored underside: the fur of an Alolan variant
is black with dark cram underside. Rattata have red eyes, with no obvious pupils. The tail is long,
and curled slightly at the tip. Rattata have three-toed paws, which are the same color as its
underbelly.

Rattata that live in the Alola region have black fur instead of the usual purple. Their undersides
are now a darker beige color and their fur is much scruffier, leaving their whiskers as tufts that
resemble a moustache. The inside of their ears is also a dark blue color.

Natural abilities
Rattata's teeth grow very quickly and they can survive almost anywhere. It's happy to nest just
about anywhere. They also utilize their teeth so they can use attacks such as Super
Fang and Bite. Rattata is always on the alert. Even while asleep, Rattata constantly moves its
ears to listen around.
Alolan Rattata are very aware of their surroundings, even changing the way they act in order to
evade Yungoos. They are nocturnal and form big nests with an Alolan Raticate leader. They are
known to sneak into people's homes and steal food, fresh or spoiled, while returning the food to
their dens where it is either stored or given to the Raticate leader of the den.
Evolution
Rattata evolves into Raticate starting at level 20.
