Raticate (Ratta (ラッタ Ratta) in the original Japanese) is a Stage 1 normal-type Pokémon that evolves from Rattata at level 20; it does not further evolve into a Stage 2 Pokémon. Raticate, like Rattata, has a tendence to gnaw on everything it finds, and can even bring down concrete buildings this way. Its hind feet are webbed, allowing it to swim, and it uses its whiskers to maintain balance.
