07Why Collectors Want It
- Crystal-type was a one-set foiling experiment (Aquapolis 2003) — only a handful of Crystal cards exist across the entire TCG.
- The Crystal Hypno's holographic 'shattered glass' background is one of the most photogenic foil patterns Wizards ever made.
- PSA 10 figures (~$3,067) are over 30× raw — supply is genuinely tiny because Aquapolis was a print-run-shy set and Crystal cards graded poorly out of pack.
- Beloved by vintage Psychic-type collectors and e-Card completionists alike; trades hands less often than the price suggests.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Stage 1 Hypno with 80 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: Sleep Pendulum
Once during your turn (before your attack), if Hypno is your Active Pokémon, you may make the Defending Pokémon Asleep. This power can't be used if Hypno is affected by a Special Condition.
Spiral Aura
If the Defending Pokémon isn't Knocked Out by the damage from this attack, you may choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and switch the Defending Pokémon with it.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.
Aquapolis 2003 Crystal-type holo; PSA 10 population is famously thin (combination of low print run + foil-pattern grading sensitivity). Realized PSA 10 sales tracking ~$3,067 (PriceCharting, May 2026), roughly a 31× lift over raw.
Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
