Item Description

Lt. Surge's Raticate carries the unmistakable personality of its trainer — scrappy, aggressive, and not to be underestimated. As the Vermilion City Gym Leader's signature rodent, Raticate was a fixture of Lt. Surge's team in the original games, and seeing it represented here in the Trading Card Game Classic set captures a wonderfully nostalgic slice of the early Pokemon world. The Gym Heroes-era aesthetic that inspired these Classic Collection designs gives the card a distinctly vintage feel, with Raticate rendered as the hard-hitting, quick-strike Normal-type it always was.

The Trading Card Game Classic set is a modern reimagining of the original Pokemon TCG experience, designed to let players and collectors engage with the earliest chapters of the game's history in a polished, contemporary format. The Classic Collection draw on iconic cards from legendary early sets — Gym Leaders, fan-favorite Pokemon, and timeless artwork — and present them with a Foil treatment that elevates each piece into something genuinely display-worthy. For anyone who grew up with the original Gym Heroes or Base Set era, this line lands with real emotional weight.

As a numbered Foil card within a tight, curated set of 034 cards, Lt. Surge's Raticate sits comfortably as a set-completion target and a tribute to one of the most memorable early antagonists in the Pokemon franchise. The holofoil finish adds visual punch that makes it pop whether you're sleeving it for play or displaying it behind glass. Graded at CGC Gem Mint 10, it's been preserved at the highest possible standard.

This one is for the serious Pokemon collector — someone building a certified, top-grade Classic Collection set or chasing every Lt. Surge card ever printed.
