No matter who you are, if you bring strong emotions near this Pokémon, it will silence you violently.

Is the Hatenna/Hattrem/Hatterene line supposed to be psychic or fairy type in the TCG? The world may never know…
For gens 1-3, Grass, Bug, and Poison types were all represented by the color {G}. So there may have been Pokemon in the Bellsprout, Paras, Venonat, Bulbasaur, etc. evolution lines that were actually meant to be poison… but we’ll never know for sure.

IMO you can occasionally tell based on the attacks. If this was meant to be a Fairy-representing Hattren, it would not have Super Psy Bolt. (“What about Shining Legends Hoopa? It has Super Psy Bolt and is a Dark type.” I don’t know. ;_;)

Worth remembering that only Hatterene is Psychic/Fairy; Hattrem and Hatenna are pure-Psychic. Galarian Ponyta got the same treatment. For some arcane reason :v

I didn’t know this, I haven’t actually played Gen 8.
Depending on when they’re available in the game, Basic/Stage 1s probably aren’t getting Fairy because it’s something of an OP type to have access to early in the game. So they’re sort of gatekeeping it (see also: Ice type usually being inaccessible until the late game, or Seel only gaining the Ice type on evolution.)

Aha! Good points all around :) I always forget which Pokemon only gain the second type upon evolution to a higher stage… thanks!
