Collector Insights

Hypno is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 90 HP. It features a Poké-Power called Sleep Pendulum, which allows the player to flip a coin once during their turn before attacking. If the result is heads, the defending Pokémon is placed into a Sleeping state, though this ability cannot be used if Hypno is under a Special Condition. Its primary attack, Psychic Shot, requires one Psychic and two Colorless Energy cards to deal 30 damage. The attack also inflicts 10 damage to a Benched opponent Pokémon, bypassing any Weakness or Resistance that Pokémon might have. Hypno has a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy cards, making it relatively easy to deploy. The card’s flavor text describes Hypno as a creature that maintains a steady pendulum motion, inducing drowsiness in those nearby. It was first released in the HeartGold & SoulSilver set in February 2010, with a rarity rating of Rare. The artwork was created by artist Masakazu Fukuda, and the card is numbered 23 in its series.

Always holding a pendulum that it swings at a steady rhythm, it causes drowsiness in anyone nearby.
