Hypno (Japanese: スリーパー, Hepburn: Suriipaa) (HIP-no) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

Hypno is a human-like Pokémon with yellow skin. On the top of its head are large, catlike ears. Its eyes are usually squinted, and lower down. It also has a large nose. On its neck, Hypno has a large white mane, which stretches completely around. Hypno also has human-like arms and hands, which both have five digits. It is also always carrying a small pendulum, which it uses in most of its Psychic based attacks.

Shiny Hypno have pink skin instead of yellow.

Gender differences

Female Hypno have longer collar-fur than the males.

Behavior

Hypno only prey on dreams, so captives generally return physically unharmed. Their swinging pendulums cause drowsiness even in onlookers that have just awoken. The longer one stares at the mesmerizing oscillations, the longer the effect last. Hypno are reliant on their pendulums for their powers, and having it damaged or destroyed can cause severe shock and depression for them. Trained Hypno are of great use to doctors to help treat insomnia in patients.

In the Alola region, wild Hypno do not usually attack humans, as the perpetually sleeping Komalas are a much easier target for them.

Natural abilities

Seeing its sweeping pendulum can induce sleep in three seconds, even in someone who just woke up. Hypno have both the abilities Forewarn and Insomnia. Insomnia will prevent the user from falling asleep while Forewarn will show the attack of an opponent with the highest attack power.

All Hypno also have the skills to cause anything to fall asleep, and also have a high amount of power in hypnotic abilities.

Evolution

Hypno is the evolved form of Drowzee, as of level 26.

Trivia

• Hypno's PokéDex entry tells about it accidentally taking a child away. A clothing-line named Pokémon 151 released a shirt with a design resembling such.
  • Ominously, this design is the only shirt not to be resealed in the United States.
• Hypno's voice in the anime bears a striking resemblance to horror film icon Peter Lorre's, just as its pre-evolutionary form Drowzee's voice resembles Bela Lugosi's.
• Although the Pokédex has mentioned time and time again that Hypno is a very dangerous Pokémon, its entries in the Alola games reveal that they rarely hurt humans and can in fact be useful to humans.
• Its Sun entry reads, "While it is an extremely dangerous Pokémon, people who are in need of a good, sound sleep call it their savior."
• Its Ultra Moon entry reveals its usefulness in hospitals to doctors and patients suffering with insomnia or other sleep-related problems.
• Hypno and its pre-evolution, Drowzee, are both based on a nightmare eating spirit from Japanese folklore called the Baku.
• At the end of the music video for Celestial, a Hypno comes out of a Game Boy Color and puts Ed Sheeren to sleep.

Origin

Hypno may be based on tapirs, seeing how its pre-evolution resembles one and they are often associated with sleep and dreams in Japanese mythology, especially the Baku, a spirit in Japanese mythology that resembles a tapir and eats the dreams of those who call upon it. Its appearance is also similar to that of a goblin.

Etymology

Hypno's English name is taken from the part, Hypno of the word of Hypnosis.
