- Hatterene is mostly used to deny entry hazards on offensive teams to allow threats to come in unscathed, and stall teams so they have breaking power and an easier time against hazards.
- The combination of Draining Kiss and Calm Mind with Defense investment helps Hatterene take hits from common walls like Great Tusk and Ting-Lu well, using them for recovery or setup.
- Psyshock and Stored Power are interchangeable, as Psyshock is better on more balance and offensive teams due to its immediate power, while Stored Power fits better on bulkier teams, helping them break past walls the teams would otherwise struggle with like Dondozo.
- Mystical Fire is useful coverage to hit Steel-types, such as Corviknight and Iron Treads, while Protect is used to scout double switches, scout Choice item uses, and rack up Leftovers recovery.
- The Speed EVs are to outspeed Dondozo.
- Tera Water provides Hatterene with a Fire resistance and Ghost neutrality to better deal with Koraidon and Flutter Mane. Additionally, Tera Water Hatterene resists Steel-type moves from Kingambit and Corviknight and resists Ice- and Water-type moves, allowing Hatterene to tank hits from Chien-Pao and Iron Bundle more effectively.
- Tera Flying gives Hatterene immunity to Ground-type moves from Ting-Lu and Great Tusk while also resisting Fighting moves from Koraidon and Great Tusk. It also gives Hatterene a Spikes immunity, giving it easier entry against offensive teams.
- Stealth Rock-weak Pokemon such as Chien-Pao, Chi-Yu, and Iron Bundle are great partners to Hatterene, since they benefit from Hatterene denying Stealth Rock.
- Koraidon and Miraidon are great partners, since Hatterene can break their most common checks, being Great Tusk and Toxapex for Koraidon, and Ting-Lu and Clodsire for Miraidon. Hatterene benefits from the breaking power of the Dragon-types, since they can remove offensive threats that annoy Hatterene like Flutter Mane and Miraidon.
