Hypno (Japanese: スリーパー Sleeper) is a Psychic-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Drowzee at level 26.

Biology

Physiology

Hypno is a bipedal human-like Pokémon that has yellow colored skin. It has two fairly cat-like ears on the top of its head and two very sleepy looking eyes with a giant nose underneath. On its neck, it has a mane of white fur. There's not much else particularly notable about Hypno's body. It has five fingers on each hand and three toes on its feet, which has a pink colored pad on the bottom of it.

Gender differences

The fur in a female's mane is longer than a male's mane.

Special abilities

Its special abilities allow it to put people to sleep and then sense the dreams they are having, so they know what kind of dream they would be eating. Hypno is also known to inexplicably conjure up Poison Gas.

Behavior

Hypno is known to reside away from humans and on less traveled roads. If anyone comes by, the Hypno will hypnotize it and presumably eat its dreams. It carries around a pendulum, the item it uses to hypnotize victims, everywhere it goes. While it waits for victims, it polishes its pendulum using its mane.

In the anime

Harrison's Hypno

Hypno first appeared in Hypno's Naptime. The Pokémon Lover's Club of HopHopHop Town were using Hypno and Drowzee to help them with their sleeping problems. The "Sleep Waves" from Hypno were causing children to act like Pokémon and draining the energy off of the Pokémon in the local Pokémon Center. Drowzee managed to fix this problem.

Harrison used a Hypno against Ash during the Silver Conference in Playing with Fire.

Hypno also appears in Fear Factor Phony. It lives in an abandoned mining colony with several other Pokémon of its type.
