Overview[]

In various aspects, Hantama is one of the best Pokémon to utilize in the Tohoak Region. Hantama cements its status as a powerful Glass Cannon with an amazing offensive typing in Ghost-Fighting, and a vast movepool that grants the kabuki-cat fighter the power to hit every single Pokémon super effectively. Intimidate is a crucial ability since it cushions Hantama's terrible Defense stat and shuts down opposing Physical attackers.

However, even amazing Pokémon have their flaws and Hantama is not an exception. Because of its low defenses, faster Pokémon can one-hit KO Hantama without any problem, and a lack of Shadow Sneak does not help, although it does have priority in Mach Punch. Finally, there are a great amount of Ghost-type and Fighting-type Pokémon who give Hantama stiff competition, mainly due to higher defensive stats, and other noteworthy moves.

Flaws aside, Hantama is easily one of Tohoak's Best, and arguably in this entire ROM Hack series, thanks to an awesome design and superb offensive potential.

Trivia[]

• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Hantama.

Design Origin[]

Hantama is based on a hanrei, or a half-human, half-ghost entity. It's also based on onna-kabuki (women's kabuki), which is classical Japanese dance-drama.

Its design also seems to be eerily inspired by the concept of Schrödinger's cat, being that it is both dead and alive.

Name Origin[]

Hantama's name is a combination of "han" (half) and "tama" (soul)
