Scarf
Raticate (M/F) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Hustle
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Double-Edge
- Crunch
- Wild Volt
- Revenge

Raticate won't be crawling out of the lower tiers any time soon but despite that, it's gotten a nice, if potentially risky, boost from the Dream World ability Hustle. Its attack is multiplied 1.5x allowing it to get some decent power, especially out of a STAB Double-Edge. Crunch takes care of the ghosts that might bar your way, while Wild Volt provides a second decent attack for coverage. Raticate's options for dealing with Steel/Rock types are limited to Revenge, which will most likely not get its double-power boost, or Dig. Naturally, Revenge is chosen, but still will be underwhelming.

[Guts]
Raticate (M/F) @ Flame Orb
Trait: Guts
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Protect
- Sucker Punch
- Flame Wheel
- Facade

If you're going Guts, Burn is your best option since you don't get Toxic Poison that increases in damage every turn <_<. Raticate is fast, and if you kill fast, you win fast. Protect on the first turn to get your burn. Facade has 140 Base Power and boosted with Guts and STAB, it can deal good damage. Sucker Punch to attack Ghosts and Flame Wheel for Steel types.

Bite Me (Raticate) (M) @ Salac Berry

Trait: Hustle
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Return
- Swords Dance
- Crunch
- Flame Wheel

This makes me pretty frustrated because Raticate can't have Endure and Hustle together, but lets make this work. First Sword Dance to get a +2, very had to accomplish in OU because of the frailness on this rat. Crunch and Flame Wheel for coverage, Return for the main stab and kill everything purpose.

255 in happiness.
