Effect
If this card was Normal Summoned this turn and you have a face-up Level 5 or lower Pendulum Monster Card in your Extra Deck: You can Tribute this card; choose 1 face-up Level 5 or lower Pendulum Monster Card in your Extra Deck, and Special Summon 2 monsters from your Deck with the same name as that card, but they have their effects negated, also they are destroyed during the End Phase.
The monster effect "①: During the turn this card is Normal Summoned, if you have a face-up Level 5 or lower Pendulum Monster in your Extra Deck, you can Tribute this card; activate" is an Ignition Effect. (This effect does not target. Also, when activating this effect, you Tribute this "Rescue Rat" on the field as a cost.)
The process "the monsters Special Summoned by this effect have their effects negated and are destroyed during the End Phase" does not create a Chain Link.
The Pendulum Effect "①: You can banish this card from your Pendulum Zone; add 2 face-up Pendulum Monsters with the same name as each other from your Extra Deck to your hand" is an effect that creates a Chain Link. (This effect can be activated during your Main Phase. Also, when activating this effect, you banish this "Rescue Rat" itself from the Pendulum Zone as a cost. It does not target.)
