Read more ↓Hypno, the Hypnosis Pokémon, is a Psychic-type creature introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Drowzee starting at level 26. Known for its distinctive pendulum and its ability to induce deep sleep, Hypno has a somewhat unsettling reputation in the Pokémon world. Its Pokédex entries often mention its habit of swinging its pendulum to put opponents or even humans to sleep, sometimes leading to disturbing scenarios in the games and anime. In the games, Hypno is commonly found in areas like the Berry Forest and often appears as a trainer's Pokémon, utilizing its sleep-inducing abilities to control battles. Its diet is not explicitly stated, but as a Psychic-type, it likely thrives on mental energy or has no specific dietary needs beyond typical Pokémon sustenance. In the anime, Hypno has appeared in various episodes, often showcasing its hypnotic powers, sometimes for good and sometimes for more mischievous purposes. Its type matchups mean it is strong against Fighting and Poison types, but weak against Bug, Ghost, and Dark types. Its unique design and abilities have made it a memorable, if sometimes creepy, part of the Pokémon franchise's early history and cultural impact.
