Rattata [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
In-Game
This card’s flavor text comes straight from Rattata’s original Pokédex entry in Pokémon Red and Blue, tying Base Set Rattata directly to the very first Kanto games collectors grew up with.
In-Game
Rattata was one of the first wild Pokémon many players ever encountered in Kanto, and Bulbapedia notes that Blue even uses one in the Cerulean City rival battle, giving this humble common a real early-game story presence.
Artist
Because Mitsuhiro Arita was illustrating cards during Pokémon’s earliest era, he has said some first-series artwork was created before the Game Boy games had even released, which makes Base Set-era pieces like this feel especially close to the franchise’s visual beginnings.
Artist
Rattata’s illustrator, Mitsuhiro Arita, is one of the foundational artists of the Pokémon TCG, and The Pokémon Company highlighted his decades-long run on the game as part of what made his early Base Set work so iconic to collectors.
Set Lore
A 1st Edition Base Set Rattata belongs to the English Pokémon TCG’s first major set, released in the United States on January 9, 1999, and Base Set is uniquely famous for having no set symbol at all.
