Call her a waifumon if you want, she’s simply the most complete counter that exists that you can reasonably find
>Can canonically sense his Rapist Energy from miles away

No other Pokémon is as good at countering that Ugly Bastard personally and can handle a gang of them. Something like Prankster Grimmsnarl can only taunt one of them at a time, so I’m fucked if there’s a group. Pokémon with teleport can’t do anything because Teleport has negative priority and I could get ambushed. While Mega Absol has Magic Bounce as well, it might struggle with a group of them. Xatu is one of the only Pokémon with explicitly perfect future sight, and it has Magic Bounce, but the dex entries as of Gen 7 say that if it foresees me getting raped, it isn’t even going to attempt to change that.
No other Pokémon can deal with a Rapist Scenario like Hatterene, with her ability to detect rapists and her proactive approach to dealing with them, coupled with her natural ability to bounce back their hypnoses and her perfect movepool for the job. The only sore point is that she’s slow, but she doesn’t need to run since she can solo all of them. Even then, she gets Trick Room.
