Hatterene (Japanese: ブリムオン, Hepburn: Burimuon) (HAT-eh-reen[1]) is a Psychic/Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII. It evolves from Hattrem by level 42 and is the final form of Hatenna. It also has a Gigantamax form.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Hatterene is a small, vaguely humanoid Pokémon with long hair colored in a gradient of pale pink, baby-blue, lavender, and white. The hair above its head is in a conical shape, resembling a witch's hat. Hatterene has a three-fingered tentacle that extends from the tip of its hat. Its purple body is adorned with a pink semi-translucent dress. Hatterene is a female-only species.
Behavior[]
Hatterene are very sensitive to noise. If somebody starts being too loud around a Hatterene, it tears them apart. If a forest has no signs of living creatures, it means it is a territory of a Hatterene, who has either decimated or scared off other Pokémon with its violent actions. Anyone who steps into a Hatterene's territory will be blasted by a beam and then slashed to death by its claw, which is enhanced by psychic powers.
Hatterene constantly emit a low-level of psychic energy to induce headaches in strangers that come too close to their territory. Indeed, an unnatural quiet and a tingling sensation in the head is a good sign that a Hatterene is near. Many legends surround these Pokémon and their elusive nature. For instance, it is said that while Hatterene will usually mercilessly bewitch travelers who intrude upon their territory, they will make deals with those that they find "tolerable." If a Hatterene shows a willingness to bargain, one should never renege on the deal. Hatterene will exact terrible vengeance on those that betray them.
Natural abilities[]
They can emit psychic power that causes headaches in those nearby. They can also levitate and teleport in short distances. The claw-like tentacles atop of their heads can perform powerful rips that tears victims apart. It can also affect one's mind with illusions as shown in Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!.

Trivia[]
- Hatterene and Grimmsnarl can be seen as counterparts:
- Both Pokémon are only able to be one gender. Hatterene can only be female while Grimmsnarl can only be male.
- Both are based on creatures from mythology.
- Both of them are Fairy-type Pokémon that have the ability to Gigantamax and are the ace Pokémon of two different rivals introduced in their debut games (Hatterene is Bede's ace Pokémon while Grimmsnarl is Marnie's ace Pokémon).
- Their first forms first evolve at Level 32 while their second forms evolve at Level 42.
- Both Pokémon are known for having a large amount of hair covering their bodies.
- Both of them are in the Fairy egg group.
Origin[]
Hatterene is based on the belief that a witch's power is connected to its hair. Hatterene may also be based on the Hachishaku-sama, an 8-foot tall woman wearing a hat who kidnaps children who cry when they get lost in the forest, similarly to how Hatterene viciously attacks where it senses strong emotions. Its appearance may be based on a Witches Ladder, a magical charm made of a witch's braided hair. Hatterene's small appearance inside of a tall body may take inspiration from the common tale of a princess trapped in a tall tower, most specifically Rapunzel, a princess who's long growing hair was long enough to reach the bottom of a tower. Its "clothes" actually being its hair may also be a reference to the Bayonetta series of video games, in which the protagonist and titular character is a long-haired witch whose clothes are actually her hair. Its lower body also gives the appearance of a broom, a tool frequently utilized by witches in media as a form of transportation by flight, or possibly tentacles, most likely those of an octopus.
Its Gigantamax form has traits of squids, which are normally seen as high intellectual creatures, highlighting its Psychic type, which is generally considered as the intelligence type.
Etymology[]
Hatterene comes from the words "hat", "hatter", and "serene".
Burimuon is a portmanteau of "brim" (of a hat) and "無音" (muon, Japanese for "silence"). As its Gigantamax form's Pokédex entry in Shield mentions how the beams it shoots are like lightning, the "muon" in its name may also be in reference to muons, particles closely related to electrons.
