Patrat ( ミネズミ Minezumi) #010 Unova / #504 National Type: Normal Species classification: Scout Pokemon Abilities: Run Away – Always successful at running away from wild Pokemon Keen Eye – Accuracy cannot be lowered Dream World ability: Analyze – If user's move hits second it will be more powerful Location found (Black/White): Routes 1, 2, 3, Dreamyard Wild hold items: None Egg group: Ground Capture rate: 255 Gender ratio: 50/50 Effort values: 1 Attack Evolution family: Patrat > Watchog at level 20
You might be surprised to hear that this Bidoof analog can only learn one HM in its first stage (HM01 - Cut) and only two in its final evolution (HM01 - Cut and HM04 - Strength), but keep in mind that this generation only has six HMs total compared to last generation's eight. Design-wise, Patrat and Watchog are fairly unremarkable aside from their intense facial expressions. Their Dream World ability, Analyze, is new to this generation and could be quite interesting to experiment with, but if you catch Patrat in-game you'll probably get bored with him quickly. Unless you're Pokemon Monday host Henry Gilbert, in which case you'll probably level him up with no regard for EVs and enter him in an office tournament.
