Hypno 16/147 · Aquapolis

Hypno is Pokédex #097, generation 1 (Kanto). Hypno is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Drowzee. In this catalog that name is Drowzee (#096).

Hypno sits at 16/147 in Aquapolis, position 16 of 182. Before it is 15 Houndoom, and after it is 17 Jumpluff. The set belongs to the E-Card series. It was released on 15 January 2003. The printed size is 147. This checklist is longer, at 182 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Sleep Pendulum is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Hypno is your Active Pokémon, you may make the Defending Pokémon Asleep. This power can't be used if Hypno is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Spiral Aura lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. If the Defending Pokémon isn't Knocked Out by the damage from this attack, you may choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and switch the Defending Pokémon with it. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

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 lists 90 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 19 other cards of Hypno list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Aquapolis set binder is where a full Aquapolis 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 Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
