Alolan Raticate is a regional variant of the familiar Raticate, evolving from Alolan Rattata in the tropical Alola region, first introduced in Generation VII with the Pokémon Sun and Moon games. Unlike its Kanto counterpart, which is a pure Normal type, Alolan Raticate gains the Dark typing, reflecting its nocturnal habits and more aggressive, opportunistic nature in its new environment. Its Pokédex entries often describe it as a gluttonous Pokémon that hoards vast amounts of food, particularly the finest ingredients, earning it the moniker of "boss" among Alolan Rattata. It's known for its robust build and powerful jaws, which it uses to crack open and consume nearly anything. In the games, Alolan Raticate often appears as a Totem Pokémon or a challenging opponent, showcasing its cunning and strength. Its diet primarily consists of berries and other food items it scavenges or steals, reflecting its role as an urban pest in Alola. In the anime, Alolan Raticate has been featured in various episodes, often highlighting its mischievous personality and its interactions with other Alolan Pokémon. Its Dark typing gives it unique type matchups, being weak to Fighting, Bug, and Fairy moves, while resisting Ghost and Dark attacks, and being immune to Psychic attacks. Its introduction brought a fresh perspective to an older Pokémon, demonstrating the ecological adaptations Pokémon undergo in different regions.
