What it does
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.
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.

Where it came from
Released in 2003 as part of the Aquapolis expansion, this Hypno card stands as a significant entry in the e-Card Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for its integration with the Nintendo e-Reader peripheral, which allowed players to scan cards to unlock digital content, mini-games, and Pokédex data. The expansion was produced by Wizards of the Coast and remains highly regarded by collectors for its distinctive layout and technical ambition during a transitional period for the game.
The card features artwork by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and iconic artists in the franchise's history. Arita chose a moody, atmospheric aesthetic for this Psychic-type Pokémon, leaning into Hypno's hypnotic and mysterious nature through swirling, dreamlike colors. The holo-rare foil pattern complements the intricate, high-contrast illustration, making it a representative example of the elevated design standards found throughout the e-Card era.
