What each attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Bite 1 Energy20 damage for 1 Energy — 20 per Energy card20

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (20).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Super Fang is printed as ?, so no fixed number is printed at all — the sentence beside it is the whole of the damage.

Back to summary

Is Raticate 58 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 20 damage attack that needs 1 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

What does being a Colorless card do for Raticate 58?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

Deals double to this card 1,884 Fighting cards carry that type A Fighting attack printed at 30 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

What knocks out Raticate 58 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Fighting attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 30 printed damage rather than 60.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 1,430 cards in the archive that can remove Raticate 58 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 30 printed damage against a bar of 30. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Raticateweak to Fighting ×2

Raticateresists Psychic -30

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Psychic resistance changes

Damage from Psychic attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

What is Raticate as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Raticate 58 is one print of Raticate. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Raticate has been printed 30 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.

What has to be in play before Raticate 58 can be?

Raticate evolves from Rattata, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Rattata.
The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 020.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (90 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Back to summary

Is this the strongest Raticate print, and can the older ones still be played?

30 prints carry this name in the archive. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (200 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Raticate 58 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Bite, needs 1 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 1 turn from an empty card.
That works out at 20 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Rattata has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 12,840 of 17,290

Colorless cardsNo. 1,460 of 2,171

Stage 1 cardsNo. 4,910 of 5,102

Base Set 2No. 47 of 100

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 30 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 60 HP.
1,446 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Damage from Psychic attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Raticate 58 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Raticate 58?

Raticate 58 has 60 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 30 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 60.

What is the strongest attack on Raticate 58?

Bite, printed at 20 damage for 1 Energy — 20 damage per Energy card.

What is the retreat cost of Raticate 58?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

What does the ? after the damage on Super Fang mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: no fixed figure is printed, so the sentence on the card is the whole of the damage. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "Does damage to the Defending Pokémon equal to half the Defending Pokémon's remaining HP (rounded up to the nearest 10)."

Can an older Raticate print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 30 prints listed on this page, 4 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Raticate evolve from?

Rattata. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Raticate 58 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Raticate 58 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
