What this card does

Hatterene has 130 hit points and uses Psychic energy.

You can use its Witch Rondo ability to swap it with a benched Pokémon once per turn, forcing your opponent to do the same.

Its Psychic attack deals 30 damage plus 50 extra damage for each energy attached to your opponent's active Pokémon.

Signature ability

Witch Rondo

Once during your turn, you may switch your Active Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. If you do, your opponent switches their Active Pokémon with 1 of their Benched Pokémon.

The key feature is its Psychic attack which scales with the opponent's resources. This means Hatterene becomes significantly more dangerous if your child forces their opponent to attach many energy cards.
