Don't let the unassuming design fool you. Raticate's oversized front teeth and aggressive posture have made it a fan favorite across video games and the trading card game alike, and it has appeared in sets across virtually every era of the Pokemon TCG. There's something enduring about a card that represents one of the original 151, and Raticate carries that classic appeal wherever it lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eME03: Perfect Order is a Japanese-market Pokemon TCG set that occupies a distinctive space in the broader history of the card game. The Master Emerald sets brought together a curated selection of cards with an eye toward both playability and collectibility, and Perfect Order delivered a tight, well-composed lineup that resonated with collectors who appreciate sets built with intention. The foil treatment on cards from this set gives them a visual richness that rewards close inspection — the shimmer catches light in a way that elevates even a familiar face like Raticate into something worth holding onto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this particular card especially interesting is its secret rare numbering. Printed as 099\/088, it sits beyond the official set count, marking it as one of those beyond-the-set surprises that Pokemon TCG has used across various releases to reward attentive collectors. Cards numbered beyond the set total carry a certain prestige among completionists — they're the kind of find that makes a binder feel genuinely complete rather than just full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foil finish amplifies everything about the card's artwork, giving Raticate's characteristically intense expression and warm earth tones an extra dimension. Whether you're sliding it into a sleeve for deck use or centering it in a display binder, this card has the visual presence to hold its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis card is a great fit for Pokemon TCG collectors chasing the full ME03: Perfect Order roster, fans of the original 151 who want Raticate represented in style, or anyone drawn to the appeal of a secret rare foil with that beyond-the-set numbering that makes it just a little harder to find than the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coolection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56691320291494,"sku":"PKQ-684439-FL","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/7404\/4838\/files\/PKQ-684439-FL-1.webp?v=1782235865","url":"https:\/\/coolection.com\/products\/raticate-099-088-me03-perfect-order-099-088-foil","provider":"Coolection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
