Ranking the Pokemon: #136- Rattata

I guess it's only fitting that after mentioning one of the crappy Pokes from the beginning of the game, I might as well put the other right above it. Rattata's much better than Pidgey for a pair of reasons, though--Hyper Fang and Super Fang. These two attacks (Super Fang especially) can do some really solid damage, even if you leave Rattata in his crappy first-level stage. But, like most rats, he's weak defensively, and a couple of strong hits will take him out.

Grade: D+

Previously: #137- Pidgey
