Strategy Overview

Rattata's decent Speed tier and high Attack stat along with Hustle and several coverage options may make it sound like a good breaker which dismantles many teams on paper, but in practice it is quite frail and gets easily revenge killed by priority moves such as Mach Punch from Timburr and Sucker Punch from Pawniard. Its heavy reliance on Hustle makes Rattata an unoptimal breaker, as it depends on accuracy to land some important hits. As such, Rattata is outclassed by Rufflet as a Hustle wallbreaker due to Rufflet's higher Attack, better bulk, ability to set up, and better STAB attacks, and Bunnelby, which has Huge Power and better coverage options.
