Mid-stage Pokemon like Hattrem rarely see competitive play outside of special formats. It's a waypoint on the road to Hatterene, which is where the real potential kicks in. Works well under Trick Room. Only weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark.
Nothing fancy in Hattrem's spread. It leans special with Sp. Atk out front. And you'll get 2 Sp. Atk EVs per KO for it. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
To this Pokémon, strong emotions apparently feel like incredibly loud noises—even if the emotions are happy ones.
The moment this Pokémon finds someone who’s emitting strong emotions, it will pummel them senseless with its braids to silence them.
Hattrem Weakness
VulnerableBug, Ghost, and Dark-type moves hit Hattrem for super-effective damage. Not too many gaps in the chart, 3 weaknesses to account for.
Hattrem sits between Hatenna and Hatterene in this three-stage line. Not the final form yet. For breeding, average hatch time with plenty of partners via one egg group. So far, Sp.Atk got the biggest boost (+30 from Hatenna). The final form adds another 140 stats on top.
How to Evolve
Breed with Hattrem to get Hatenna eggs using 66 partners from the Fairy egg group.
The 50% bulk from Eviolite is no joke. Hattrem takes hits that fully evolved Pokemon can't, especially with max HP and Defense EVs pushing the physical wall side. Psychic gives it offensive presence.

Recommended Teammates
The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Hattrem's Fairy and Dark coverage and more all comes from technical machines, built on top of Future Sight and Psychic for same-type damage. Psychic and Future Sight are the payoff moves.
Level-Up Moves
TM Moves
Egg Moves
Tutor Moves
Don't skip the egg moves. Hattrem picks up After You and Aromatic Mist only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Psychic and Psyshock while Dark and Fairy coverage and more adds range.
A solid number of locations for Hattrem with moderate rates across late-game routes. The sort toggle below swaps between best odds and earliest access, so you can approach it based on where you are in the game.

At 370 BST, Hattrem is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Hatterene before bringing it to any serious fight.
Hattrem gets Magic Bounce, Healer, and Anticipation. But Magic Bounce is the one that matters — it's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Hattrem is a physical attacker with base 40 Attack. But the speed tells the real story — base 49 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
Hattrem can be found in Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield.
Since Sword & Shield, Hattrem has been obtainable in 2 games. A Generation 8 debut means a shorter history, but Hattrem has appeared steadily across every generation since.
