Raticate A2b 059, Pokemon - stage1, designed by Kyoko Umemoto first released in Jul, 2026 in the set Shining Revelry.

Raticate A2b 059 would mainly fit a very budget, early-game Colorless deck that wants a cheap Stage 1 attacker to pressure Basics quickly, especially if it can be evolved fast and benefit from generic Colorless support, but in most competitive decks it is outclassed by stronger Stage 1 and Basic attackers that either hit harder for the same or less Energy, have better HP, or provide useful effects; for example, if you want a similar Colorless attacker, cards like **Lugia VSTAR-era Colorless attackers** or even many modern Basic ex attackers are generally much better, and historically **Raticate** variants with useful spread or disruption effects have also been preferable when available; this specific card should probably **not see serious play** because 50 damage for two Colorless Energy is too low by modern standards, its Fighting weakness is common and punishing, and its only real advantage is being simple and easy to splash, which usually isn’t enough to justify a slot over stronger
