Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the eighth generation. It emits psychic power strong enough to cause headaches as a deterrent to the approach of others. If you're too loud around it, you risk being torn apart by the claws on its tentacle. This Pokémon is also known as the Forest Witch. This Pokémon can read the emotions of creatures over 30 miles away. The minute it senses hostility, it goes on the attack. Beams like lightning shoot down from its tentacles. It's known to some as the Raging Goddess. So, here it is, the one-hundred & fifty-second entry, Hatterene
