Focus Blast is generally outclassed by Hereafter Sight, but performs well in certain matchups, ex. Stone-types
None of the elemental punches (Burn Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch) are viable for Hypno on crime, except for gyms.
Considering Hypno needed more moves, Return tin be obtained by purifying a Shadow Hypno, simply this move has no existent use.

Confusion is superior to Zen Headbutt, dealing higher defensive DPS.
Psyshock is generally preferred for its iii bar frequency.
Psychicis great as a non-legacy 2 bar move.
Future Sight is just inferior.
Shadow Ball offers wide neutral coverage, but has a relatively late damage window.
Focus Blast is nonviable due to its 1 bar nature and late harm window.
Any of the elemental punches (Fire Punch, Water ice Punch, Thunder Dial) could be used due to their low energy toll as three-bar moves.

PVE Overview

Though its lackluster ATK precludes it from whatever kind of attacking role, Hypno's DEF, HP, and moveset are well tailored to the role of gym defender. Access to the optimal Confusion / Psychic offer general STAB utilise, only its other charge moves provide cracking counter coverage, so Ghost or Dark-type counters may be taken by surprise.

Practice annotation, Shadow Ball and Focus Blast have fairly late impairment windows and thus are more than exploitable. If you accept spare Hypno lying effectually, feel complimentary to throw one into a gym, only there are more than efficient tanks to invest Stardust in than this one.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Confusion + Shadow Brawl and Focus Boom

Confusion is the superior fast movement, and offers good damage output with STAB. Zen Headbutt is terrible for PvP.

Shadow Ball offers mostly neutral coverage, and tin retaliate confronting Hypno's weakness to Ghost-types. Despite its moderately high energy price, Hypno's fantabulous bulk gives it the fourth dimension it needs to generate that energy. Focus Blast provides wide coverage confronting common typings, including Hypno's weakness to Dark-types, and deals considerable damage if unshielded. Its very loftier free energy price is somewhat discouraging though.

Confusion + 2x (Fire, Ice, Thunder) Punch or Shadow Ball or Focus Boom

Hypno has very various options for coverage in its moveset, and any combination of these are viable depending on your team and whatsoever coverage needed. Fire Punch is useful for its coverage against popular Steel-types, in addition to Grass. Ice Punch hurts common Dragons, Grass, and Flight-types. Thunder Punch is valuable against ubiquitous Water-types and certain Flying-types. Electing for two elemental punches can be viable, orShadow Brawl orFocus Smash can exist mixed in with one of the punches if coverage is needed.

What about Psyshock* and Psychic?

Psyshock is a legacy move that costs less energy to employ while dealing less damage, while Psychic is the opposite. The onetime is by and large more preferable due to easier accessibility free energy-wise, just the latter tin besides exist feasible. YetConfusion in general provides a lot of Psychic-type harm with STAB as-is, therefore it'due south not commonly recommended to choose these two accuse moves unless absolutely necessary, due to the potential coverage sacrificed.

PvP Rating Caption

Smashing League: iv.5 / five

Hypno is a slow but very beefy Psychic-type. That'due south not necessarily a bad thing, because it can still do its task simply fine, but it does take a while to get there. Admission to very diverse accuse move options gives information technology numerous coverage possibilities, and can get out opponents guessing. The merchandise-off for this surprise potential is the likelihood of tons of Charge TMs being used upwardly to reroll for the ideal moveset.

Ultra League: 1 / 5

Hypno has a maximum CP of 2090 which is insufficient for high performance in Ultra League. Competition from other Psychic types and a weakness to the Giratinas doesn't help information technology either.

Master League: 0 / 5

Don't use Hypno in Master League.
