#51 Hoopa - Steam Siege (xy11)
Hoopa is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 130 HP, featured in the XY series' Steam Siege set released in 2016. It has a retreat cost of two Colorless energy and no resistances, making it vulnerable to Psychic-type attacks with a ×2 weakness. The card includes two attacks: Hyperspace Punch, which costs one Colorless energy and deals 20 damage to two of the opponent’s Pokémon while ignoring Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon, and Portal Strike, a more powerful move requiring three Psychic energy that deals 130 damage but cannot be used during the player’s next turn. Hoopa’s design is attributed to artist Yoshinobu Saito, and its rarity is listed as Rare, with a card number of 51. The flavor text describes it as a creature capable of seizing desires with six rings and arms, though its power is sealed into a smaller form. The card’s rules and regulation mark are unspecified, and it does not include any additional abilities beyond its listed attacks. This Pokémon’s strategic versatility lies in its ability to disrupt opponents through targeted damage and limited-use high-impact strikes.
