Dark Hypno 26/82 · Team Rocket

Hypno is Pokédex #097, generation 1 (Kanto). Dark Hypno is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 26. The card says it evolves from Drowzee. In this catalog that name is Drowzee (#096).

Dark Hypno sits at 26/82 in Team Rocket, position 26 of 83. Before it is 25 Dark Gyarados, and after it is 27 Dark Machamp. The set belongs to the Base series. It was released on April 24, 2000. The printed size is 82. This checklist is longer, at 83 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Psypunch lists 20 damage. The cost is Psychic. Bench Manipulation is another attack lists 20× damage. The cost is Psychic, Psychic, Colorless. Your opponent flips a number of coins equal to the number of Pokémon on his or her Bench. This attack does 20 damage times the number of tails. Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for this attack. (Any other effects that would happen after applying Weakness and Resistance still happen.) Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Carries a pendulum with it always. Sometimes appears near less-traveled roads and schools at dusk."

Hypno (#097) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Hypno 8/62 in Fossil (1999). That card is named Hypno, while this one is Dark Hypno. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Hypno list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Rocket set binder is where a full Team Rocket set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Hypno can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
