Strategy Overview
Rattata manages to distinguish itself from other Pokemon in the LC tier with certain advantages within its movepool such as Sucker Punch and Flame Wheel, allowing it to take on its counters more easily. It is faster than most Normal-type attackers such as Aipom, Bunnelby, Buneary, and Zigzagoon and can deal good damage to targets that don't resist its moves when in the right conditions. However, it still faces a lot of competition from other Normal-types and is forced to rely on Hustle in order to deal large amounts of damage, which causes all of its attacks to lose 20 percent of their initial accuracy. It also has very low bulk, leaving it susceptible to strong priority attacks.
