Dark Hypno [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Hypno is part of the original Team Rocket expansion, the 2000 set that introduced Dark Pokémon to the TCG and gave collectors one of the hobby’s first villain-themed chase eras.
Set Lore
As a 1st Edition holo from Team Rocket, this card comes from one of the last early English WotC expansions to carry the iconic 1st Edition stamp, which makes Rocket holos especially nostalgic for vintage collectors.
In-Game
Its flavor text mirrors Hypno’s Pokédex reputation for appearing near schools and lonely roads at dusk, giving this card the same eerie folklore that made Hypno one of Kanto’s most unsettling Psychic Pokémon.
Artist
Dark Hypno was illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, one of the longest-running classic Pokémon TCG artists, whose work is deeply tied to the warm, storybook look collectors associate with the hobby’s early years.
Card History
The attack Bench Manipulation feels perfectly on-theme for Hypno, turning your opponent’s full Bench into a coin-flip mind game that captures the chaotic, sinister style Team Rocket cards were built around.
