We present an analysis of the individual pulses of four rotating radio transients (RRATs), previously discovered in a monitoring survey running for 5.5 yr at the frequency of 111 MHz. At a time interval equivalent to 5 d of continuous observations for each RRAT, 90, 389, 206 and 157 pulses were detected in J0640+07, J1005+30, J1132+25 and J1336+33, respectively. The investigated RRATs have different distributions of their pulse amplitudes. For J0640+07 and J1132+25, the distribution is described by a single exponent over the entire range of flux densities. For J1005+30 and J1336+33, it is a lognormal function with a power-law tail. For J0640+07 and J1005+30, we have detected pulses with a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of a few hundred. For J1132+25 and J1336+33, the S/N of the strongest pulses reaches several tens. These RRATs show a strong change in their emission. When the strengths of their pulse amplitudes are significantly changed, we see long intervals of absence of emission or its strong attenuation. The analysis carried out in this work shows that it is possible that all the studied RRATs are, apparently, pulsars with giant pulses.
