This Rattata card hails from the original 1999 Pokémon Base Set (often labeled simply “Pokemon Game”), making it a nostalgic piece of Pokémon TCG history. Illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita’s classic art shows a bold purple Rattata perched on a forest branch against a pastel sky, capturing the detailed style of early Pokémon cards. As a Basic Pokémon with a single 20-damage Bite attack (and fighting-type weakness), it reflects the simple gameplay of the first TCG releases. Collectors appreciate this vintage Rattata trading card for its place in the set as an original Gen 1 collectible and for its charming, early-series artwork.
