Hypnosis (Japanese: さいみんじゅつ Hypnosis) is a fairly accurate non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generations I-III

Hypnosis puts the opponent to sleep.

Hypnosis can't affect an opponent that already has a major status ailment.

In Stadium, Hypnosis can't affect an opponent that has a substitute.

Hypnosis has 60 accuracy.

Generation IV

Same as before, except with 70 accuracy. In Platinum however, it was changed back to 60%.
