When it comes to single battles, Raticate shines as an awesome Physical Sweeper. It's designed to overwhelm foes with lethal physical moves. Keep in mind back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. With Guts, if Raticate is statused its attack is 1.5x; ignores burn halving physical damage. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Guts to seriously give Raticate a sweet boost. With a Silk Scarf equipped to it, Raticate's normal-type attacks have 1.1x power.
◆ Facade is a physical STAB-boosted 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Raticate is burn/poison/paralyzed). ◆ Double-Edge is a physical STAB-boosted 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/3 recoil). ◆ Shadow Ball is a physical 80-base power Ghost-type move (20% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage). ◆ Dig is a physical 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ◆ Mud-Slap is a physical 20-base power Ground-type move (100% chance to lower the target's accuracy by 1 stage). ◆ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Raticate this turn).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
