Furret VS Raticate for normal type?

Question

And No, I do not need an HM slave. I just re-started SS and I want a Normal type
and I was thinking to Raticate or Furret take in account both Movepool and stats.
Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Raticate has a Base Stat Total of 413
Furret has a Base Stat Total of 415

The difference is not big.I would go with Furret
1. It has a good movepool,good stats and It learns 5 HMs
2. It can learn Normal,Dark and Psychic moves during leveling up.
3. Its Defenses may be low but it has a good Speed and nice Attack Stat.
4. It can learn a Big Variety of tutor moves, such as Aqua Tail, Fire Punch,Ice Punch, Thunder Punch.It can learn a lot of TM moves, such as Brick Break, Facade,Shadow Claw and even Giga Impact.
5. It is better than Raticate beacuse : it is quick and likes to chase RATTATA. (SS pokedex entry :P)

So yeah. Furret it is

Answer 3

I would have to say Raticate for this one Sense Raticate is faster and hits harder on the physical side then furret and with the early hyper fang it really brings the hurt!
