07Why Collectors Want It
- 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 Team Rocket Returns set need this card to finish it.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Stage 1 Hypno with 70 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Dark Link
Flip a coin. If heads, choose an attack on 1 of your Pokémon in play that has Dark in its name (excluding this one). Dark Link copies that attack except for its Energy cost. (You must still do anything else required for that attack.) (No matter what type that Pokémon is, Dark Hypno's type is still Psychic Darkness.) Dark Hypno performs that attack.
Black Magic
Does 20 damage times the number of your opponent's Benched Pokémon.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.
Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.
Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
