As we all know, specially defensive Tyranitar is a very solid check to most hatterene, as it can shrug off its hits and threaten it with Stone Edge. As I was looking through the builder, I noticed something very strange. Hatterene has the same attack as Cobailion. Thus, I decided to begin developing a lure that would absolutely surprise any specially defensive Ttar coming in. Thus, meet choice band hatterene.
Hatterene @ Choice Band
Adamant Nature
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def /
- Nuzzle
- Play Rough
- Power Whip
- Aromatherapy/Shadow Claw
TTar thinks he can come in and take a draining kiss from this bad girl only for it to severely dent this mon with a very powerful play rough. It;s other moves are Nuzzle, which is good at crippling sweepers like lycanroc-dusk and mimikyu, power whip for waters like washtom, slowking, and starmie. Lastly, its final slot can interchange: Aromatherapy to heal the party's status, or shadow claw if you want a 4th attack to hit chandelure.

May not be the most reliable mon, but it is sure a funny troll for you to unexpected take out one of your opponent's pokemon with a physical hatterene.
