Strategy Overview
Even if Raticate's nice Speed, decent Attack, and access to Guts all seem like reasons to use it, it is sadly outclassed by Normal-type wallbreakers such as Kangaskhan, Stoutland, Alolan Raticate, and Zangoose. Its mediocre bulk and typing leave it susceptible to Mach Punch, one of the most common priority moves in the tier, as well as faster attackers. It also often lacks the firepower to break through walls like Regirock and Jellicent.
