Hatterene (Japanese: ブリムオン Brimuon) is a dual-type Psychic/Fairy Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

It evolves from Hattrem starting at level 42. It is the final form of Hatenna.

Hatterene can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Hatterene if it has the Gigantamax Factor.

Biology

Hatterene is a small humanoid Pokémon with a thin, white body. Its head is round and has a small mouth, narrow black eyes with white pupils, and two elliptical pink markings over each of its eyes resembling eyelashes or eyebrows. It has extremely long, layered, symmetrical hair, far longer than its body is tall; much like a cloak, the hair on its head drapes to the ground and swathes around it to conceal much of its true body, which is adorned by a pink semi-translucent dress that gives it a much taller silhouette, resembling that of a stereotypical sorceress or witch. This hair is colored in a gradient of baby-blue, pale pink, and white from its upper portions downwards. The hair above Hatterene's head is shaped like a wide-brimmed witch's hat with a conical shape serving as the crown of the hat formation. Extending from the pointed end of the hat is a single tentacle that ends in a pink bulb and a consecutive baby-blue bulb that has a trio of sharp claws, which can articulate in a manner similar to fingers, jutting out of it. Hatterene is a female-only species.

Hatterene has a solitary and reclusive nature, emitting psychic powers strong enough to cause headaches as a method to deter others from approaching and disturbing it. It has also been observed that it dislikes loud noises, tearing apart perpetrators with the claws on its tentacle as a result. As shown in the anime, Hatterene plays with people's minds and creates illusions, deceiving them for its own pleasure. Due to its long hair obstructing its floating body, Hatterene's main forms of locomotion are levitation and short-distance teleportation. This Pokémon lives in forests with no other living creatures nearby, and as such it is known as the Forest Witch.

Hatterene is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Magic Powder.

Forms

Hatterene has a Gigantamax form.

Gigantamax Hatterene has grown to a colossal size. While its physiology remains vastly the same, its black eyes are now blue with white pupils. In addition to this, its hair has grown and increased in volume, forming a chamber of sorts that its body sits in. On both sides of this chamber are a pair of teardrop-shaped openings. The hat-like formation on its head has also changed, with the brim being thinner and draping around it and the crown ending in a pink bulb. Attached to the said bulb is a larger baby-blue bulb that has three, long tentacles tapering from it. As seen with all Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon, three red clouds loom and swirl above the hat of Gigantamax Hatterene. Known as the Raging Goddess, Gigantamax Hatterene has the ability to sense the emotions of creatures from over 30 miles away, and it will become enraged and attack if it senses any hostility. Its tentacles are capable of firing off energy beams akin to lightning.

Gigantamax Hatterene is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Smite.

Evolution

Hatterene evolves from Hattrem and is the final form of Hatenna.

Trivia

  • Hatterene, Grimmsnarl, and their evolutionary families can be considered counterparts.
    • Both are Generation VIII Pokémon evolving once at level 32, then at level 42.
    • Hatterene and its pre-evolved forms are female-only, while Grimmsnarl and its pre-evolved forms are male-only.
    • Each Pokémon in each evolutionary line has the same base stat total, base experience yield and catch rate as their counterpart (e.g. Hatterene and Grimmsnarl both have a base stat total of 510), except for Hatenna and Impidimp's catch rate.
    • These two evolutionary lines are next to each other in the National Pokédex, the Galar Pokédex, the Crown Tundra Pokédex and the Paldea Pokédex.
    • Both Pokémon are based on mythical beings from European folklore and mythology: Hatterene resembles witches, and Grimmsnarl resembles trolls, ogres, and goblins.
    • Both Pokémon are Fairy-type Pokémon based around long hair that have their Speed drop upon evolution.
    • Both Pokémon are the signature Pokémon of a rival in Pokémon Sword and Shield who is a succeeding Gym Leader and Gigantamaxes it (Bede's Hatterene and Marnie's Grimmsnarl).
  • Despite the fact that Hatterene's means of movement involves short-distance teleportation, it cannot learn the move Teleport.

Origin

Hatterene may be inspired by forest witches from European folklore that are used to frighten children that do not want to sleep or stay quiet, such as Baba Yaga, the hag from the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale, and especially Cuca due to its connection with Grimmsnarl. Another trait it shares with Grimmsnarl, in association with Witches, is it's use of hair to in combat, as it was believed in European Folklore that a Witch's hair was the source of their powers. The longer their hair, the more powerful magic a Witch would be able to cast. Hatterene may also take inspiration from Hattara, a female forest troll or race of giants from Finnish mythology; Hattara is also the Finnish name for cotton candy which may be the basis of Hatterene's color scheme of pink, white, and blue, the main three colors of cotton candy. Its appearance may be inspired by Harionago, a female ghoul from Japanese folklore described as a beautiful woman that uses its extremely long hair tipped with thorn-like barbs to attack. Its tentacle(s) and aversion to offensive behavior may also be a reference to the sea witch. The hat-like hair on its head seems to represent a stereotypical witch's hat mixed with a hennin, a headwear commonly worn by noblewomen in the Middle Ages. The way Hatterene's hair hangs from the top of its body resembles ribbons on a maypole, a large pole that is a central part of several European festivals celebrating the arrival of summer.

Hatterene's relatively small body, as well as the "windows" in its hair-like tentacles in its Gigantamax form, resemble the common fairy tale motif of a girl locked away in a tower; in particular, it may reference Rapunzel, a fairy tale recorded by the Brothers Grimm about a girl who was locked by a sorceress in a tower, and whose hair was long enough to reach the ground from the top of her tower.

Its small grey body, which is hidden under its hair, with big wide eyes bears a resemblance to the typical depiction of aliens.

Name origin

Hatterene may be a combination of hatter and serene.

Brimuon may be a combination of brim and 無音 muon (silence).
