Raticate has a Base Stat Total of413Furret has a Base Stat Total of415

The difference is not big.I would go withFurret1. It has a good movepool,good stats and It learns5HMs2. 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

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!
