DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

    Stupid bs 1 Tauros has enough power to be valid threat 2 shows how underrated is Raticate. 3 both of them are faster than snorlax meaning they dont need as much of physical bulk of which Snorlax has little as well bc just 60 therefor both if them are better than snorlax. Snorlax is just more popular because most people prefer bulk and has bigger role in the anime. Therefore its used a lot more. As simple as that.

    “Raticate had a, if extremely marginal, niche in Gen 1 OU.” I can just see this small rat, which was created back when they expected you to abandon your early route Pokémon, going up to the crazy powerful Chaney, Taurus, and Snorlax saying, “Greetings fellow OU normal types.”

    My raticate was the very first Pokémon I ever caught in my first game and I took it to the elite four, transferred it to gold and did it again. In fact Raticate was such a favourite of mine that I have used it in a story play through in every generation that I could get it. It was the first Pokémon figure I bought from the original TOMY release and the plushie sits proudly on my shelf. Sun and moon gave me a special opportunity to use 2 raticates in a play through and I have zero regrets

    Warms my heart to hear others loving their Raticate. I don't play the main games anymore but Pokémon Go has let me keep a shiny Raticate as a best buddy in my adult years. Raticate is a sweet blend of cool and cute and honestly has a nice and simplistic design that the newer generations had tended to lean away from. I'm tired of only "strong" Pokémon being considered "good" Pokémon :)

    Something I'd like to point out about Ratticate in gen 1 is that it's the one and only fully evolved Normal type to learn Focus energy. What that means is that in pokemon Stadium (Focus energy works in Stadium) you can fire off STAB hyper beams with what was essentially a Swords dance up (no Normal types learn swords dance and hyper Beam besides Lickitung), In fact the crit from a level 100 pokemon is actually a bit More damage then with one Swords dance, and this crit boost also effects Ratticates special moves. If Focus energy worked properly on the Gameboy cartridges I bet Ratticate would have had real success in tournaments (And its even better in pokemon Green where Blizard had a 30% freeze chance and Ratticate is one of the fastest users of Blizzard) if Tauros gets a freeze it can't really capitalize on it, but Ratticate sure can by setting up. Pretty unique and innovative for the little rat 🐀

    Interesting notes for 4th Gen Raticate to better explain it's power leap: All it's natural moves are learned by Level 34 as a Rattata. This thing is so broken early on for its natural set it's ridiculous. In total, it gets Pursuit, Bite, Crunch, Sucker Punch, and Assurance for Dark Moves. And barring Super and Hyper Fang coming relatively early, it also gets Double Edge, Quick Attack, and Endeavor, with Swords Dance getting move relearned for a Heart Scale. All of that is not counting TMs and Breeding. By Arceus, why can't more Normal types get some better Ghost coverage like Raticate here? You'd be surprised how many Normal types *CANNOT* learn Shadow Claw compared to the other Types, Raticate included.

    I have tons of respect for Raticate. When I ran my first nuzlocke, he was the first Pokémon I caught and he was with me from Route 1 all the way to the final fight with Blue. He was taken out by Blue’s Alakazam, but he was a scrappy little thing and managed to live until the literal last second. Godspeed, Nibbles. You’ll always be OU to me.

    Yes finally, he's waited long enough
