Rattata was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. By checklist position it is 61 of 102, which puts it in the middle third of the binder. Its binder neighbours are Ponyta (#60) and Sandshrew (#62). 63 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 30.

Which printing you are holding

Rattata was printed three times over, and the three do not trade alike. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. Each printing of Rattata therefore gets its own cell here, never one blended number.
