Rattata (Japanese: コラッタ Koratta) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves into Raticate starting at level 20.
It is also the only possible starter Pokémon in Pokémon Rumble.
Biology
Physiology
Rattata is a small, but unspecialized rodent. Its most notable feature is its large teeth. Like most rodents their teeth grow continuously throughout its life, and must be constantly worn down by gnawing. It has long whiskers and a long, slightly curled tail. Rattata has purple fur on its back, and cream colored fur on its stomach. This coloration (dark on top, light on bottom) is a common protective mechanism for many small animals.
Gender differences
A female has shorter whiskers.
Special abilities
Rattata have very basic survival needs, permitting them to thrive in nearly any environment. Because they reproduce so quickly, a pair of Rattata can quickly colonize an area. Rattata are also very quick, and their teeth grow constantly.
Behavior
Rattata have a fast metabolism. As a result, it spends most of its fast-paced life looking for food. Thanks to their sharp fangs, they are able to eat nearly anything. However, because they constantly need to chew on hard material to keep their teeth at a manageable length, it is hard to tell if they are actually eating something, or merely gnawing on it. When they are threatened, Rattata can deliver a powerful bite. Cautious to the extreme, its hardy vitality lets it live in any kind of enviornment. They are a common sight in many places, and can become a nuisance due to their rapid reproductive rate. It is said that for every one Rattata, forty other are hidden somewhere. Most young Trainers will train Rattata due to their easy accessibility.
Habitat
Rattata naturally live in plains and savannas. However, they are found in most areas due to their ability to survive nearly any environment. They are very common in Kanto, Johto and Sinnoh.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Rattata are not picky when it comes to food, and will eat nearly anything edible. However, they're sometimes found in possession of the Chilan Berry.
In the first episode of the anime series, Ash's Pokédex also states that Rattata "likes cheese, nuts, fruit and berries... and will steal food from stupid travelers."

Trivia

- Rattata's name originally had a "K" at the end, but it was dropped.
- Rattata is notorious for being associated with the F.E.A.R. strategy.
- Rattata and Raticate share the same species name with Pikachu, Raichu, Sandshrew, and Sandslash. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called Rat Pokémon in Generations I and II. Rattata and Raticate's species name was changed to 'Mouse' in Generation III onwards.
- Rattata and its evolution comprise the first two-stage evolutionary family in National Pokédex order.
- Out of all the pure Template:Type2 Pokémon found in the first route of each region (Rattata, Sentret, Zigzagoon, and Bidoof), Rattata has the highest base stat total.

Origin
It is simply based on a real life rat, the only difference is that Rattata is purple.
Name origin
Rattata's English name simply incorporates the word rat into it. The etymology of tata is most likely a combination of rat and attack, especially when compared to its prototype name "Rattatak" [1]. Its Japanese name Koratta is derived from the prefix 小 ko, small, and rat.
In other languages
- German: Rattfratz - A combination of Ratte (rat) and Fratz (rascal).
- French: Rattata
- Korean: 꼬렛 Kkoret
- Chinese (Taiwan): 小拉達 Xiǎolādá - Transliteration of Rattata's Japanese name, Koratta. Literally “little Ratta (Raticate's Japanese name).”
- Chinese (Hong Kong): 小哥達 Xiǎogēdá - "Little Koratta" which is a little redundant since ko in Koratta already means little.
