Hypno 23/62 · Fossil

Fossil is a set in the Base series. It was released on 10 October 1999. The printed size is 62, and the checklist is the same length. Hypno is 23/62, in position 23 of 62 on this checklist. Before it is 22 Hitmonlee, and after it is 24 Kabutops. The listed rarity is Rare.

Hypno is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 36. In the Pokédex this is Hypno (#097), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Drowzee. In this catalog that name is Drowzee (#096).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

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). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. 17 other cards of Hypno list a different HP.

The attack Prophecy lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic. Look at up to 3 cards from the top of either player's deck and rearrange them as you like. Dark Mind is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic, Psychic, Psychic. If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 10 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "When it locks eyes with an enemy, it will use a mix of psi moves such as Hypnosis and Confusion."

I keep a set binder for Fossil, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Fossil set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Hypno can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
