Hoopa (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Hoopa has an alternate [[#Form data|form]], which it changes into by using the [[Prison Bottle]]. Its default form, '''Hoopa Confined''', will then become the {{2t|Psychic|Dark}} '''Hoopa Unbound'''. In Generation VI and [[Generation VII|VII]], Hoopa Unbound will revert into Hoopa Confined while in the player's [[party]] if three days have passed since changing to Hoopa Unbound. Other circumstances may also cause it to revert.

[[File:M18 Promo Artwork 5.png|250px|thumb|left|Hoopa summoning multiple [[Legendary Pokémon]] through its hoop]]

The rings on Hoopa's body can warp space and allow it to transport items by passing them through its hoop. This allows it to seize anything in the world. With its power, Hoopa is willing to cause mischief and take anything it wants. In the past, Hoopa's true power is said to have been sealed in the [[Prison Bottle]], reducing it to a smaller and weaker form; opening the bottle grants Hoopa its true form once again, but only for three days. It stores its gathered loot in a secret spot only it knows. Hoopa is said to have the power to bend dimensions. It is heavily implied to be the one causing many of the [[Mirage spot|Mirage Spots]] in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. As seen in {{g|Masters EX}}, Hoopa can even bring people and Pokémon from alternate timelines through its hoops. Hoopa is known to steal stuff from humans if provoked. Hoopa is known to like donuts, as depicted in the [[Pokémon anime]], Masters EX and Unite.

Hoopa Unbound is a large, bipedal Pokémon with six arms. It is mostly light blue with purple hair. The ponytail on its head is larger and bushier and held in place by two golden rings. Its hair now covers its chin, where it forms a pointed beard, and the back of its neck. The horns are less curved and have spiky purple hair around the bases. There are three gold rings on each horn: two around the base and one around the middle. It has yellow eyes white sclerae, a pointed, dark gray nose, a small hole inside of the ring-marking on its forehead, and prominent fangs in the back of its lower jaw. Similar to Hoopa Confined, its arms are disconnected and float next to its body. Instead of a small, gold spike the arms now have large, dark gray spikes and appear from holes along the sides of its body. Each arm has three fingers with dark gray claws, a gold ring around the wrist, and a gold ring around the base. Several tufts of purple hair surround its torso and a gold ring encircles a hole in the center of its chest. Another large gold ring encircles its waist and there are small tufts of hair poking out from underneath it. There is a purple stripe that widens at the knee down each leg and two gold rings around each ankle. The tips of its feet are gold and curl upward. Additionally, this form has a tail with a purple stripe along the top and an arrow-shaped tip. Hoopa Unbound is tied with {{me|Gyarados}} as the tallest {{t|Dark}} type.

* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Hoopa appears as a special non-recruitable ally that must be found contained in the [[Djinn's Bottle]] in [[Sahra Town]]. Upon approaching the bottle, Hoopa will "[[Connection Orb|connect]]" with the {{player}}'s team and will accompany them only for the next exploration. Whilst exploring, Hoopa will randomly choose between its Unbound or Confined Formes. The leader may ask Hoopa to summon a random {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] through one of its portals for help, but the target may randomly end up as a hostile enemy instead.

In ''[[PS602|Hoopa Distorts]]'', a silhouetted Hoopa was on the [[Sea Mauville]], causing trouble by attacking {{adv|Emerald}} and {{Steven}}. Later, after it was properly revealed in ''[[PS605|Swampert Smashes]]'', Hoopa took a liking to Emerald and began following him around.

** It is also the tallest and [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] [[Mythical Pokémon]].

Hoopa Unbound could be specifically be inspired by {{wp|Ifrit}}, powerful djinn or {{wp|demon}}s, which  are often depicted as malicious, or {{wp|Marid}}, evil djinn or {{wp|devil}}s, which according to some stories do the exact opposite of what they are commanded to do. Its six arms may be drawn from certain {{wp|Hindu deities}}, who were often depicted with multiple arms. It may also be based on the {{wp|Gegenees}}, who were a tribe of six-armed giants who fought the {{wp|Argonauts}} in {{wp|Greek mythology}}. Its tail and horns may also derive from common depictions of demons, the circle motif thus may be inspired by {{wp|magic circle|summoning circles}}.
