For a brief period, Dynamax Hatenna in Pokemon GO will be available on June 16, 2025, during Max Monday, from 6 to 7 PM local time. After that it will randomly spawn in Power Spots until June 22. Hatenna will only appear in its Dynamax form during this hour in all Max Battles at Power Spots.

You must battle it within this limited time-window if you want to add Dynamax Hatenna to your collection, as this weekly event rotates featured Pokemon.

There are two primary ways to obtain a Dynamax Hatenna in Pokemon GO:

1) One-star Max Battles: During the event window, Dynamax Hatenna in Pokemon GO will be the boss in a one-star Max Battle that can be entered by going to Power Spots. 250 Max Particles are needed for entry, but you won't be charged until you defeat it. Up to four players can team up for these battles, which increases your chances of winning if you can coordinate well.

2) Trading with friends: You can also get a Dynamax Hatenna in Pokemon GO by trade if you can't fight or don't have enough Max Particles. The trade will not be considered a Special Trade if you have already caught a regular Hatenna. However, keep in mind that traded Dynamax Hatenna will lose all unlocked Max Moves and drop to Level 1.
