Verdict

Collector's Pick
Hatenna is a Psychic-type Pokemon with base stats of 98/93/123 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 974. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Hatenna in Pokemon GO?
Hatenna has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Hatenna for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Hatenna's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Hatenna is weak to Bug, Dark, Ghost-type moves. On the other hand, Hatenna resists Fighting, Psychic-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Hatenna effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Hatenna's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Hatenna's maximum CP is 974 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 861 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Hatenna's CP is calculated from its base stats: 98 Attack, 93 Defense, and 123 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Hatenna caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 492 CP, or 615 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Hatenna?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Hatenna has the following CP at key levels: 369 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 492 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 615 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 974 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Hatenna, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Hatenna ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Hatenna in Pokemon GO?
Hatenna can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Hatenna can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Hatenna be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Hatenna's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Hatenna availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
