Ash's Raticate
Ash's Raticate (Japanese サトシのラッタ Satoshi's Ratta) was a Pokémon temporarily owned by Ash Ketchum in the episode Battle Aboard the St. Anne. Its Japanese voice actor is unknown and its English voice actor was Jimmy Zoppi.
He battled it with his Butterfree, and its trainer, a Gentleman, was so impressed that he offered a trade. Ash was also impressed with the Raticate, and so the two Traded Pokémon. However, he only used it once, mistakenly calling it out when he wanted to use his Butterfree's Sleep Powder to help fight against the swarm of Rockets onboard. Because he missed his Butterfree and he worried about how the Gentleman would treat it, he realized that the trade had been a bad idea and he would rather have his original Pokémon back. He wanted this badly enough that he traded the Raticate back while the St. Anne was sinking, causing him and his friends to be trapped inside as it sank into the depths.
Because Ash only owned it for less than an entire episode, little can be said about Raticate itself. There is not enough known about it to even distinguish it from other Raticate.
