How To Get Hatenna In Pokémon GO: Evolution & Shiny Availability

Hatenna is the latest Pokémon from the Galar region to arrive in , meaning you can also evolve it into Hattrem and Hatterene once you've caught one. Known as the Calm Pokémon in the Pokédex, this Psychic-type creature might not be very impressive by itself, but once it reaches its final evolution, Hatterene, it gains a secondary Fairy-type and a huge Attack stat to boot.

To celebrate the return of the Psychic Spectacular event from September 18 to September 22, 2024, the Psychic Cup will be returning to the GO Battle League and there will be plenty of themed Pokémon like Ralts and Swirlix to encounter. One of these Pokémon is Hatenna, which is making its grand Pokémon GO debut, although it won't be the easiest creature to find as it's quite a rare wild spawn.

The simplest way to catch a Hatenna during the Psychic Spectacular event will be to find one in the wild, although it's worth pointing out that it will be a rare spawn, similar to Dreepy in the recent GO All Out event. A good idea is to check the Nearby feature and see if there are any Hatenna-shaped silhouettes near your current location, then go and investigate them.

If you're struggling to find one in the wild, there are other ways that you can encounter a Hatenna. A guaranteed method is to complete the two event-exclusive Collection Challenges, Marvelous Minds: Catch and Marvelous Minds: Evolve. These require you to catch or evolve a range of Pokémon, with a Hatenna reward encounter waiting for you at the end of each Collection Challenge.

Another guaranteed way to find a Hatenna is to complete the Psychic Spectacular 2024 Premium Timed Research, which needs to be purchased from the in-game shop for £1.99 (or the equivalent price in your local currency). This features a mix of catching and hatching-themed tasks, with rewards including encounters with Morelull and Hatenna.

It's also possible to earn an encounter with Hatenna by claiming and completing the 'Win A Max Battle' Field Research task. This task can
