This Psychic/Ghost-type Pokémon has two forms: Confined and Unbound. The Confined form, as depicted on this card, is smaller and more playful, while its Unbound form is a massive, imposing figure with six arms. Hoopa's rings are central to its lore, allowing it to teleport items and even entire islands, leading to legends of its incredible power and occasional chaotic antics. In the anime, Hoopa played a significant role in the movie "Hoopa and the Clash of Ages," where its rings were instrumental in bringing legendary Pokémon to the present day, showcasing its immense abilities. Its diet is never explicitly stated, but its behavior suggests a liking for shiny objects and causing general mischief. Hoopa does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, standing as a unique Mythical creature. Its dual typing gives it interesting matchups, being weak to Ghost and Dark types, but resistant to Fighting and Poison. Hoopa’s unique design and powerful abilities have made it a fan favorite, embodying the unpredictable and wondrous aspects of the Pokémon world.
