Hoopa (フーパ Fuupa) is a Psychic/Ghost-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VI. If the Prison Bottle is used on Hoopa Confined, it will transform to Hoopa Unbound, becoming a Psychic/Dark-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Hoopa Confined is a small Pokémon, who wears yellow rings around its arms and belly. Its eyes are green and its body is painted pink and violet. When transformed into Hoopa Unbound, it is a large, purplish-gray genie-like being. It has triangular red eyes, a long tail with a spike at the end, six arms and a ring in its chest. It has big spiky hair and big horns with rings held tightly around them.
Natural abilities
As Hoopa Confined, when given the Prison Bottle, it grows largely into Hoopa Unbound for three days, or until put in the PC. Hoopa also has two signature moves named Hyperspace Hole and Hyperspace Fury.
In order to get the Prison Bottle, you must go in the Poké Mart with Hoopa in your party and talk to a Poké Mart worker in Fortree City to receive it.
