Raticate

Raticate (Japanese: ラッタ Ratta) is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, and a /-type introduced in Generation VII. It is the evolved form of Rattata.

Physiology
Compared to Rattata, Raticate is far more of a predator, and the majority of its features are adapted for this purpose. Its most notable feature are its large teeth; like most rodents, Raticate's teeth grow continuously throughout its life, and must be constantly worn down by gnawing. It is also known that Raticate's fangs are tough enough to break through concrete. It has long whiskers and a long tail. Raticate looks like a rat, just like Rattata. Raticate tends to stand on its hind legs, as opposed to its pre-evolution.

Natural abilities
To compensate for its steadily growing teeth, Raticate gnaws on hard things such as buildings, even being able to topple them dowm when doing so. Also its webbed feet allow it to swim well when it hunts.

Evolution
Raticate evolves from Rattata starting at level 20.

Trivia
