Hypno
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Hypno is a psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Defense — at 483 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 67) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Insomnia ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Hypno. Build around what Hypno actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
