Collector Insights
Dark Hypno is a Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a Rare Holo rarity and appearing in the Rocket Gang Strikes Back set released on October 15, 2004. Its design is attributed to artist Kouki Saitou, and it belongs to the Pokémon supertype. The card includes two distinct attacks. The first, "Dark Link," requires one Colorless Energy and allows the player to copy an attack from a Pokémon with Dark in its name, excluding itself, with adjustments to its Energy cost. The second attack, "Black Magic," uses one Psychic and one Colorless Energy to deal 20 damage multiplied by the number of the opponent's Benched Pokémon. The text of "Dark Link" specifies that Dark Hypno's type remains Psychic Darkness regardless of the copied Pokémon's type. The "Black Magic" attack emphasizes the opponent's Benched Pokémon count as a multiplier for damage output. This card combines strategic versatility through its ability to adapt attacks and leverage the opponent's board state.
