07Why Collectors Want It

Original WotC-era printing from the Fossil set — foundational vintage Hypno.
Hypno — the Hypnosis Pokemon and final evolution of Drowzee, dating back to the very first Pokemon TCG set.
Required for any complete Hypno master set across eras.
Collectors of the Fossil set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Hypno with 90 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Prophecy Cost: Psychic

Look at up to 3 cards from the top of either player's deck and rearrange them as you like.

Dark Mind Cost: Psychic + Psychic + Psychic · 30 damage

If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 10 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Weakness: Psychic ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Hypno PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
