“The card depicts Dark Hypno in a moment of quiet intensity, its eyes fixed and focused, hinting at the mysterious powers it wields. The Pokémon's posture suggests a readiness to engage, creating a sense of anticipation in the air. The shimmering holo effect adds an otherworldly quality to the scene, enhancing the feeling of magic and intrigue. This snapshot captures Dark Hypno as both a guardian and a trickster, embodying the duality of its nature.”

Dark Link
Flip a coin. If heads, choose an attack on 1 of your Pokémon in play that has Dark in its name (excluding this one). Dark Link copies that attack except for its Energy cost. (You must still do anything else required for that attack.) (No matter what type that Pokémon is, Dark Hypno's type is still Psychic Darkness.) Dark Hypno performs that attack.
Black Magic
Does 20 damage times the number of your opponent's Benched Pokémon.
