It is known for its rings, which can warp space and transport objects and even people across vast distances. Hoopa has two forms: Confined Form, which is smaller and more impish, and Unbound Form, which is a giant, multi-armed genie-like creature brimming with power. Its lore describes it as a trickster who once stole treasures from kings and brought them to its lair using its rings. In the games, Hoopa plays a significant role in the story of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire through an event that allows players to encounter legendary Pokémon. In the anime, Hoopa was the central figure in the movie "Hoopa and the Clash of Ages," where its immense power and playful nature led to a chaotic summoning of legendary Pokémon. Its ability to create portals makes it a fascinating Pokémon, embodying themes of mystery, power, and the disruption of reality. Hoopa's unique dual typing gives it interesting matchups, being strong against Fighting and Poison types, but vulnerable to Ghost and Dark types. Its design, inspired by genies and mischievous spirits, gives it a distinct place in the Pokémon universe.
