* Although Hypno could learn {{m|Snore}} by [[Move Tutor]] in {{game|Emerald}}, it was unable to use it due to its sole Ability in [[Generation III]], {{a|Insomnia}} (except for switching ability with others using {{m|Skill Swap}}). However, in {{game|Platinum}}, it cannot be tutored Snore despite gaining a {{a|Forewarn|second ability}} in [[Generation IV]] that does not prevent the use of Snore. | * Although Hypno could learn {{m|Snore}} by [[Move Tutor]] in {{game|Emerald}}, it was unable to use it due to its sole Ability in [[Generation III]], {{a|Insomnia}} (except for switching ability with others using {{m|Skill Swap}}).

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