Talk:Raticate (Pokémon)

Due to special coding in place in the article, the artwork featured on this article will change every year on February 27 — the release of Red and Green in Japan September 28 — the release of Red and Blue in the United States. This will only affect the artwork shown in the infobox. This changes every year, so when the time comes, click here to return to the page and change the display.

Japanese name

Why is the Japanese name translated to 'Ratta' in one place and 'Ketsuban' in another? The katakana translates correctly to 'Ratta'. InsomniacHonchkrow 03:48, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Ketsuban must be the default for the template. It seems that the admin that updated the infobox forgot to put the $ on the tmname parameter. . . and the page is still protected. . . Werdnae (talk) 03:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Trivia

Should it be mentioned in the trivia that Raticate is the only pokemon with a base stat total of 413? Or is it addressed elsewhere? ☆Pandagasms☆

1st Generation Catch Rate

This website (The Cave of Dragonflies "Gen I Capture Mechanics") revealed that Raticate has a catch rate of 90 in RBY only. It also mentioned that Dragonair and Dragonite have a catch rate of 27 and 9 respectively in Yellow Version only. How should we go about this? --Mazion (talk) 04:22, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Raticate M/F sprite difference in HG/SS

I'm not referring to the whiskers, but what appears to be a tiny goof only an OCD weirdo like me would notice! When compared to the female sprite, male Raticate in HG/SS have an extra gray pixel in the sclera at the corner of their eye. This is the most trivial of trivia, but hey, now the internet will never forget that someone noticed? I'll be going now. Gamescook (talk) 20:20, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Impossible Raticate

Should it be added that there's a Raticate level 17 (an impossible level) with a Youngster on Route 11 in RB (not sure about Yellow though, but probably too) Jackoul (talk) 17:25, 5 March 2015 (UTC) Jack
