Alolan Rattata Weakness
Alolan Rattata's Dark/Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting, Bug, and Fairy. Fighting hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Psychic and Ghost-type attacks completely. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Fighting |
| 2x (Weak) | Bug, Fairy |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Dark |
| 0x (Immune) | Psychic, Ghost |
