Strategy Overview
Patrat's niche over other Normal-types is its ability to put other Pokemon to sleep with Hypnosis and boost quickly using Swords Dance. However, Patrat has awful stats, leaving it outsped and KOed by many dangerous foes, and has no unique coverage to make it worth using over other Normal-types like Rufflet and Bunnelby. Rufflet has much better bulk and a really good boosting move in Bulk Up, and Bunnelby is a lot faster and has great coverage with a fantastic ability in Huge Power.
