As you see, C8 is the second lowest Rating, and C being the lowest rating,
Pokemon do tend to nail each other ( Tackle, Pound, Etc. ) Shoot Fire from their mouths ( Flamethrower, Fire blast, Ember ) And moves that involve Lashings... ( Vine Whip, Power Whip )
So naturally, there is very very low level violence, but high enough to rank at C8.
