Stats & Training
Bulk defines Hypno's stat line. Sp. Def and HP anchor the defensive side, but Speed can't keep up offensively. Moderately hard to find and worth 2 Sp. Def EVs.
Hypno holds a pendulum in its hand. The arcing movement and glitter of the pendulum lull the foe into a deep state of hypnosis. While this Pokémon searches for prey, it polishes the pendulum.

Hypno Weakness
Bug, Ghost, and Dark moves hit Hypno for super-effective damage. Hypno's special bulk (base 115 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
