After piecing together evidence, I cry Objection! If Raticade was dead, then by that logic, so should the rest of your rival's party! Also, there was someone who could heal Pokemon on the ship, so Gary McBaka could not have a dead Raticade! It's more likely he traded it for one of the other Pokemon you fight.
