How to unlock
Use the matching region banner. Rarity pity guarantees a tier, not this specific Pokémon.
| How to unlock | Details | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Starter selection | No | This route does not apply to this Pokémon in the current version. |
| Region gacha | Yes | Pull its matching region banner. The rarity roll and uniform species selection both matter; use the target-species calculator. |
| Rescue event | Yes | When selected as the lost Pokémon, escort it to the marked destination. The event has a 20% collection-grant chance; rescuing it is not an automatic unlock. |
| Wild shiny collection | Yes | Defeat an eligible shiny wild or ordinary Boss version. The shiny and its normal version are added to the collection; an ordinary non-shiny defeat does not unlock it. |
| Rift encounter | No | This route does not apply to this Pokémon in the current version. |
| Shiny rift collection | No | This route does not apply to this Pokémon in the current version. |

Build direction
Patrat starts with Tackle, a Melee arc attack. Build the early run around this actual starting behavior, then choose alternatives from its legal pool.
Work around the edge of a pack. An active group containing melee receives the game’s ×0.75 damage factor after ordinary reduction, but warning zones still require a dodge.
Strengths & limits from its stats
Base HP 90 versus dataset median 99; movement 96 versus 105; attack multiplier ×1 versus ×1.17. Medians use all 966 entries and describe base stats, not win rates.
Its base HP is below the dataset median. Avoid repeated contact and consider HP or recovery investment before using an aggressive close-range route.
Movement is below the median. Leave extra space around charge lines and runners, and avoid routes that require crossing slowing liquid under pressure.
Move choices & active slots
Its regular learn pool contains 8 moves across 5 behavior families. Choose a different behavior or attack type for a real target problem; learning extra ordinary slots does not add simultaneous damage.
Inspect the shared Normal options for a different route. A support-only slot needs deliberate switching or a Bonded damage partner.
Upgrade & evolution route
A practical first budget shortlist is Vitality / Stride / Strength, based on the stat comparison above. Compare costs and your actual failure point; these are recommendations, not a universally optimal purchase order. Permanent levels belong to this Pokémon.
For Tackle → Take Down, reach move level 5, take the Vigor card in this run and select the evolution offer. Buying a similarly named permanent upgrade does not satisfy that condition.
This analysis is derived from the displayed source stats and combat rules. It does not claim playtesting, measured win rate or guaranteed run length.
Plan a build
In-game stats, not main-series battle stats.
Only the selected slot attacks. Bonded moves in that slot can fire together.
Shiny
| Shiny | Details |
|---|---|
| Shiny sprite available | Yes |
| Eligible wild generation | 1/4,096 |
| Gacha generation | 1/100 |
These are generation odds for an eligible source, not a guaranteed capture. A wild or rift shiny must be defeated to join the collection; gacha also applies its collected-shiny re-selection rule.
