Description
The Hypno trading card, designated as number 23, originates from the HeartGold & SoulSilver series released in 2010. As a Stage 1 Psychic-type Pokémon, it evolves from Drowzee and carries 90 Hit Points. This card is categorized as Rare within the set, offering collectors a distinct piece of the 2010 Pokémon TCG landscape. Hypno brings strategic depth to gameplay through its Sleep Pendulum ability. Once per turn, players may flip a coin to potentially put the opposing Pokémon to sleep, providing a tactical advantage in battles. Its Psychic Shot attack deals 30 damage to a target and inflicts an additional 10 damage to one of the opponent’s Benched Pokémon, bypassing standard Weakness and Resistance calculations for those bench targets. With a Retreat Cost of 2, this card requires careful energy management during play. Collectors often seek out HeartGold & SoulSilver cards for their nostalgic value and connection to the original Generation IV games. The set code HS marks this release in the broader catalog history. While the card’s flavor text notes Hypno’s pendulum and its ability to induce drowsiness, the mechanical identity lies in its unique status as a Psychic attacker with bench-damage capabilities. For enthusiasts completing the HeartGold & SoulSilver collection, Hypno represents a key component of the Psychic-type roster.
