Hypno (Japanese: スリーパー Sleeper) is a Psychic-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Drowzee starting at level 26.

Biology

Physiology

Hypno is a bipedal human-like Pokémon that has yellow colored skin. It has two triangular, cat-like ears on the top of its head and two sleepy looking eyes with a large nose underneath. On its neck, it has a ruff of white fur. Hypno has five fingers on each hand and holds a pendulum in its left. (It is worthy to note that no explanation has been given as to where the pendulum Hypno carries comes from.) Hypno has three toes on its feet, which have a pink colored pad on the undersides.

Gender differences

The fur on a female's mane is longer than a male's mane.

Special abilities

Hypno are able to put people to sleep. They can then sense the dreams they are having, so they know what kind of dream they would be eating. Hypno is also known to inexplicably conjure up Poison Gas.

Behavior

Hypno is known to reside away from humans and on less traveled roads. If anyone comes by, the Hypno will hypnotize it and presumably eat its dreams. It carries around a pendulum, the item it uses to hypnotize victims, everywhere it goes. Hypno hypnotizes its victims by rocking its pendulum back and forth steadily, with the arcing movement and glitter of the pendulum lulling the victim to sleep, even if they just woke up. Hypno's Hypnosis technique is so effective, it can induce sleep in only three seconds, although the longer it swings its pendulum, the longer the effects of Hypnosis will last. Since eye contact is required for Hypno’s Hypnosis technique to work, the effect is negated if the victim quickly closes its eyes. While it waits for victims, it polishes its pendulum using its mane.

Habitat

Wild Hypno live in very tall grass, by muddy rivers, in savannahs, and occasonally in ancient temples and tombs. Wild Hypno are quite rare, only found in Sevii Islands.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

It feeds on dreams. Its special abilities allow it to put people to sleep and then sense the dreams they are having, so they know what kind of dream they would be eating.

Major appearances

Hypno first appeared in Hypno's Naptime. The Pokémon Lover's Club of HopHopHop Town were using Hypno and Drowzee to help them with their sleeping problems. The "Sleep Waves" from Hypno were causing children to act like Pokémon and draining the energy from the Pokémon in the local Pokémon Center. Drowzee managed to fix this problem.

Harrison used a Hypno against Ash during the Silver Conference in Playing with Fire.

Hypno also appeared in Fear Factor Phony. It lives in an abandoned mining colony with several other Pokémon of its type.

Minor appearances

Hypno also appeared in The Power of One.

A Hypno was one of the Pokémon living in Len Town in The Psychic Sidekicks!.

A Hypno appeared in Beauty and the Breeder where it participated in a Pokémon beauty contest.

A Hypno belonging to a Trainer named Mickey appeared at the Pokémon Jujitsu Academy in Ariados, Amigos where it was defeated by Ralph's Houndour.

Trivia

  • Although Hypno's Pokédex entries say that it feeds on dreams when it is hungry, Hypno can only learn the move Dream Eater via TM.
  • Hypno's Red and Blue and LeafGreen Pokédex entries make reference to it using "PSI moves", possibly indicating an early name for the Psychic type in English.
  • Hypno and its unevolved form are the only non-Poison-type Pokémon that are able to learn Poison Gas.

Origin

Hypno is based on a tapir, hypnotist, and baku, or dream eater spirit, of Japanese mythology. It also looks similar to a proboscis monkey. Hypno's long, hooked nose and white frill could also be based on a vulture, such as Rüppell's Vulture.

Name origin

Hypno is a shortening of hypnosis. It could also be derived from Hypnos (Greek: Ὕπνος Sleep), the personification of sleep in Greek mythology.

Sleeper is literally sleeper, one who sleeps.
