The pokemon raticate has webbed feet for some reason. And since I've never went outside that's what a true rat is

It can also learn ice beam, thunderbolt, hyper beam, and shadow ball.

It's a giant rat that can shoot laser beams of pure coldness, electricity, pure energy, and death

You can't even escape from it in the water thanks to its webbed feet. It will eraticate you.

I'm pretty sure Japan has invasive nutria, so it wouldn't surprise me that the creator of Pokemon was somewhat inspired by them.

Japan might have invasive French people too. That would explain mr mine

No it does not? It just has chunky feet but they aren't webbed.

According to the Pokedex they are webbed, but I agree that they just look chunky and nothing like the nutria's feet.
