What this card does

Hatterene VMAX has 320 Hit Points and requires one Psychic and two Colorless Energy cards to attack.

Its G-Max Smite attack deals 150 damage and confuses the opposing Active Pokémon.

Witch's Domain allows you to move up to two damage counters from your own Pokémon to the opponent's Active Pokémon once per turn.

Signature ability

Witch's Domain

Once during your turn, you may move up to 2 damage counters from your Pokémon to your opponent's Active Pokémon.

The Witch's Domain ability lets you transfer damage directly from your bench or active Pokémon to the enemy. This strategy works well because it bypasses the need for direct attacks and can quickly wear down tough opponents.

From the Pokédex

Hatterene is known for its psychic abilities and often uses its flower-like head to hypnotize its prey.

Note for the parent

Remind your child that they must choose which of their own Pokémon takes the damage before moving it, so they should protect their weaker cards.
