Hatterene family

The Hat family are all accomplished Magic Bounce users that take advantage of Heal Pulse + Imprison with different trade offs. This strategy allows them to spam Heal Pulse once Imprison is up, which prevents the usual counterplay of using Sub. Magic Bounce also prevents Taunt from stopping the Heal Pulse sweep, and even Mold Breaker Hawlucha has to be weary of a Nuzzle if its Toxic Orb has not activated yet. They are all slow with no outs outside of poison chip, making them vulnerable to faster Imprisons, trapping, and Trick. Hatenna is the most viable thanks to its super low bulk and attack, which makes it take the most from SB and Struggle while doing the less from Nuzzle. Hattrem is slightly faster for a marginally better speed tier. Hatterene is completely outclassed on most teams as it is the slowest and bulkiest, but that low speed makes it have room for Trick Room to support itself and others on this playstyle.
