07Why Collectors Want It

Released in 2000's Team Rocket, the WotC-era villain-themed set that introduced the Dark-prefixed Pokémon variants.
A non-Dark base Rattata — sits in the set's regular checklist rather than the Dark-themed chase tier.
Raw asking sits around $1.65; graded copies trade meaningfully above raw, with Team Rocket centering and edge wear the usual downgrades.
A natural pickup for any complete WotC-era Raticate-line or Team Rocket master-set run.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Rattata with 40 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Trickery

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may switch 1 of your Prizes with the top card of your deck. This power can't be used if Rattata is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Quick Attack Cost: Colorless · 10+ damage

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 10 more damage; if tails, this attack does 10 damage.

Weakness: Fighting ×2
Resistance: Psychic -30
Retreat cost: 0

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Rattata PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
