JAPANESE RATICATE CARD CHECKLIST

[11 CARDS] 1996 BASE SET TO 2026

Raticate was an uncommon in the very first Japanese set in October 1996, and a year later it became one of the first “Dark” Pokémon in Rocket Gang. Its modern highlights are the Alolan Raticate-GX tournament promo and two Art Rares: Team Rocket’s Raticate in 2025 and a regular Raticate in 2026. These 11 are the ones worth finding. The 5 marked ★ are the ones to look for first: the 1996 no-rarity original, the 1997 Dark Raticate, the Alolan Raticate-GX promo, the 151 Master Ball mirror 020/165 and Team Rocket’s Raticate AR 108/098.
