Hatenna Pokémon GO is a Psychic-type Pokémon with its own GO stats, move pool and evolution requirements. This guide covers whether Hatenna can be Shiny, how its evolution works, its weaknesses, current move pool and the main details worth knowing before you spend Candy or Stardust.
If you are building your collection or preparing for a future event, the Hatenna Pokémon GO information below keeps the permanent details in one place. Exact encounter availability changes through seasons and events, so current event guides should always be checked alongside this evergreen page.
Can Hatenna Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
Yes, Shiny Hatenna is available in Pokémon GO. A Shiny encounter is never guaranteed, but Hatenna Pokémon GO can be collected in its alternate colour when an eligible encounter method is available.
Shiny Hatenna has been obtainable through wild encounters, research encounters and photobomb encounters. Those methods can rotate in and out of the game, so their presence here does not mean every method is active at all times.
How to Evolve Hatenna Pokémon GO
Hatenna
HattremHatenna evolves into Hattrem with 25 Candy. Evolution requirements in Pokémon GO can be different from the main-series games, so the Candy, item, Buddy or time requirements above are the ones that matter in GO.
Hatenna Pokémon GO Weaknesses
Hatenna is weak against Bug, Dark and Ghost attacks in Pokémon GO. These are the attacking types to prioritise when you need super-effective damage against Hatenna.
Hatenna resists Fighting and Psychic attacks. Pokémon GO uses its own battle multipliers, so the amount of damage differs from the main-series games even when the general type matchup is familiar.
Hatenna Pokémon GO Stats
Pokémon GO base stats are not currently available for Hatenna.
Hatenna Pokémon GO Moves
Hatenna can currently draw from the move pool below. The strongest choice depends on whether you are building for raids, Gyms, Team GO Rocket or PvP, so this evergreen guide lists the available moves rather than pretending one moveset is automatically best for every format.
| Move type | Available moves |
|---|---|
| Fast Moves | Confusion, Charm |
| Charged Moves | Psyshock, Psychic, Dazzling Gleam |
How to Get Hatenna in Pokémon GO
Hatenna is released in Pokémon GO, but its exact encounter methods can change as seasons, events, raids, eggs and research rotate. For that reason, the safest way to hunt Hatenna Pokémon GO is to check the current Pokémon GO guides on The Click alongside this evergreen page rather than relying on an old spawn list.
When Hatenna is set as your Buddy Pokémon, it requires 5 km of walking per Buddy Candy. Buddy walking can therefore provide another steady Candy source when Hatenna is not appearing frequently.
Is Hatenna Worth Catching in Pokémon GO?
Yes, there are good reasons to keep catching Hatenna Pokémon GO when it is available. Candy can be used toward its evolution line and its Shiny form gives collectors another target. Whether you should invest Stardust in a particular Hatenna depends on its IVs and the battle format you actually plan to use.
