Trivia

In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, no in-game opponent will have Hypno use Prophecy; if their Hypno has one or two Psychic energy attached, they will instead end their turn without attacking.

Origin

Prophecy's Japanese name is that of Future Sight, a move later introduced in the Generation II Pokémon games that Hypno can learn. Dark Mind's Japanese name is that of Night Shade, a move in the Pokémon games that Hypno could not learn until Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. This card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, whereas the Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
