Where it came from
The Raticate card from the Base Set was released in 1999 as part of the initial launch of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in English. It was developed by Wizards of the Coast, who translated and adapted the original Japanese Expansion Pack created by Media Factory. The design sought to introduce the mechanics of the video game series to a tabletop format, providing players with a standard Colorless-type Pokémon that could evolve from Rattata.
The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific artists in the history of the Pokémon TCG. Arita’s style for the Base Set focused on simple, dynamic compositions that grounded the creatures in a clean aesthetic, aiming to make the characters immediately recognizable to fans of the original Game Boy games. Upon its release, the card was received as a functional mid-tier evolution, appreciated by collectors for its classic, early-era visual design.
