Hypno [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Hypno’s Poké-Body, Binding Aura, turns sleep into a full lock piece by stopping your opponent from evolving an Active Pokémon or attaching Energy from hand while that Pokémon is Asleep, which makes Sleep Inducer feel especially sinister on this card.
Set Lore
This Reverse Holo comes from EX Delta Species, the October 31, 2005 set that introduced Delta Species and the bizarre Holon-region experiments that gave the era its cult-classic identity among EX collectors.
Artist
The card was illustrated by Midori Harada, an artist beloved by collectors for offbeat, instantly recognizable Pokémon artwork, and Hypno is one of the credited cards in her Bulbapedia gallery.
In-Game
Hypno’s whole design in the video games revolves around pendulum hypnosis, so a card built around forcing a Benched Pokémon Active and immediately putting it to sleep is a perfect mechanical match for its Pokédex identity.
Set Lore
EX Delta Species cards were also available as Reverse Holofoils, and that stamped EX-era finish is a big part of why cards like Hypno [Reverse Holo] feel so distinct in vintage binders today.
