Strategy Overview

Patrat isn't exactly a Pokemon one would look to for a slot on a team, mainly because of its very low stats. It has a decent physical movepool but it lacks the power and Speed to sweep effectively. However, Patrat has one main use in Little Cup, since it can fulfill the role of a decent Baton Passer with access to Swords Dance and Work Up. Also, it has interesting moves such as Hypnosis and Super Fang that could be useful in certain situations. Overall, Patrat is a weak Pokemon that has a very small niche in Little Cup and should rarely be considered for use on a team.
