Dark Hypno
Oracle Text
Attack Psypunch (20)
Attack Bench Manipulation (20x): 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.)
Card Details
Set
Character Background
Dark Hypno from Team Rocket is a classic tempo-control Psychic Stage 1 that pressures both the Active and the Bench in a very mischievous way. Psypunch is a straightforward 20 damage attack, but the real draw is Bench Manipulation, which scales off how many Pokémon your opponent has benched and can swing games hard when they overextend. Because it ignores Weakness and Resistance, it stays reliable against defensive type matchups and punishes swarm decks regardless of color. This makes Dark Hypno best in a control or disruptive tempo shell, where you force awkward board states and then cash in on the coin flips. Pair it with cards that punish Bench-heavy setups or encourage your opponent to keep the Bench full, and use Scoop Up or switching effects to preserve your own Hypno while you set up. In lore terms, it feels like a sly Team Rocket psychic predator turning a crowded field into confusion and self-damage.
