>>48528929Raticate can be saved except for Game Freak's stubborness on not letting early-game rodent/bug/Pikachu-clone Pokemon have good stats. Just buffing Raticate's BST to 453 (from 413) would help a whole bunch, and it would still have a mediocre BST.

None of its stats stand out too terribly much, and it could pull its weight in lower tiers as well as in game. You could even apply this to the Alolan version:
