Trivia

Origin

Super Fang is a move in the Pokémon games which Raticate can learn and which, like the card attack, cuts the opponent's remaining HP in half. Bite is also a move in the Pokémon games, but Raticate could not learn it until Generation II, via breeding. The card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, whereas the Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
