It is a Psychic/Ghost-type Pokémon in its Confined form, and when it transforms into Hoopa Unbound, it becomes a Psychic/Dark-type, gaining immense physical strength and multiple arms. Hoopa is a singular Pokémon with no evolutionary line, existing as a unique entity. Its lore often involves its ability to grant wishes, though with unpredictable and sometimes chaotic results, as seen in the movie "Hoopa and the Clash of Ages." In the Pokémon games, Hoopa is typically obtained through special distributions or events, adding to its mystique. Its dual typing provides interesting matchups, with its Psychic typing being strong against Fighting and Poison, and its Ghost typing effective against Psychic and Ghost. Hoopa Unbound's Dark typing offers advantages against Psychic and Ghost as well. Its role in the anime and movies highlights its playful yet powerful personality, often causing large-scale events due to its ring powers. Culturally, Hoopa embodies themes of wish-granting and the double-edged sword of immense power, making it a memorable and intriguing figure in the Pokémon world.
