Dark Hypno Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Hypno #26 is the non-holo counterpart to the holo Dark Hypno #9, giving Team Rocket collectors two chase paths for the same sinister Kagemaru Himeno artwork in the set that introduced Dark Pokémon to the TCG.
Set Lore
Team Rocket was the expansion that debuted Dark Pokémon, and Dark Hypno captures that theme perfectly with the line’s signature darker frame styling and the idea of Pokémon raised under Team Rocket’s influence.
In-Game
Dark Hypno’s flavor text echoes Hypno’s game lore, where Pokédex entries describe it as always carrying a pendulum and lurking around lonely roads while using hypnosis on passersby.
Card History
Hypno’s eerie pendulum identity was established early in the anime too, with Ash’s Pokédex in EP027 calling it a Hypnosis Pokémon that carries a pendulum-like device and uses hypnotic attacks.
Artist
Kagemaru Himeno illustrated both versions of Dark Hypno in Team Rocket, and her soft-painted style gives this card an unsettling storybook feel that stands out among the set’s villain-themed cards.
