    Hypno actually deserves a LOT of credit in gen 1, it's one of the few pokemon that can have quite a large range of versatile sets! It's stats and move pool allow it to do things other Psychics can't in the hands of a skilled player, an example of this is when Alakazam, Starmie, and Chansey find them selfs in a complete stalemate spamming Psychic, Thunder wave, and recovery moves on each other just wasting pp while neither side wins the exchange. Hypno in that scenario has the ability to do something wild and boost up to +6 with Meditate and then blast the other Psychics away with Hyper beam or even the unique 30% flinch Headbutt. Its also bulky enough to actually serve as a defensive Psychic type with Reflect. And if you just wanted a mixed attacking unboosted Psychic type it can do that too.

    Honestly disappointing, because IMO, Hypno is a really cool Pokemon with a neat stat spread. A defensive pure-Psychic type isn't something you see often. Maybe a slight stat boost or a strong signature ability could give it some lower tier viability, as well as access to moves like Knock Off and Recover.

    It's worth noting Hypno becomes absolutely amazing in RBY Trabebacks (Gen 1 pokemon bringing their expanded movepools from Gen 2 as long as the move existed back in RBY). It gains access to Amnesia and the elemental punches becoming one of the most dangerous threats in the tier and the best Amnesia sweeper after the big M.

    Imagine if Hypno was given a unique move in "hypnotize" and a unique ability "hypnotist" to work with it.
    Hypnotist: Pokemon put to sleep by this pokemon have their def/sp.def lowered by one stage.
    Hypnotize: 100% accurate sleep move.
    All it needs it a 1-2 combo that fills it's niche. It would sky rocket it's usage because it's the move spore but grass types aren't immune and it forces a switch because of the defense drop(s). Either they stay in and Hypno sets up, or they switch so Hypno's team gets momentum and a free sleep on a 'mon in the late game.

  • @M3rtyville
    @M3rtyville 4 года назад +19

    Well, how would I improve Hypno? One of the things I would do, what many SwSh Pokemon received, and that is turning Event Exclusive moves it had to level up moves or eggmoves such as:
    - Baton Pass
    - Belly Drum
    - Wish
    The next thing I would do is replace its Inner Focus ability with something different. We have seen GF sometimes change abilities on Pokemon for seemingly at random like the Legendary Beast all getting Inner Focus.
    I don't think Hypno will ever archive anything as a special Psychic Type with all the buffs Alakazam gets and the existence of Mushana who is far superior to it defensively. Perhaps a signature move that allows it to use it's special defense as special move. Unless such a move takes Special Defense boosts into account, I highly doubt it will make it viable. But I think the things I mentioned would make it at least better. At least I won't have to play Pokemon Showdown to use Hypno, an already bad Pokemon, to it's fullest potential.

    Considering that almost every Gen's 'Dex entry mentions it's Hypnosis, it'd be cool if it had an ability that reflected that.
    Something like increasing the accuracy of Hypnosis or automatically dealing damage to a pokemon it sleeps?
    Maybe burning sleeping pokemon for like 1/10th of it's HP every turn? This would let it Wish/Protect Sleep-Stall and rack up residual damage while staying healthy.
    It wouldn't be much of a niche but it'd be something.
    Edit: From the other comments I learned one of these abilities already exists, it is called Bad Dreams and it is Darkrai's ability so it'll never happen :(

      If Castform had it's ability buffed somehow it would be a really cool 'mon.
      Imagine if forecast added base stats based on what weather was in play:
      Water = sp.def (or HP?):
      Adding it to the "bulk water" archtype. It doesn't need an attack buff because thunder, hurricane, and water's good attacks like scald/surf.
      Sand = Def:
      Add a sandstorm Castform. Give it better defense which couple's with sandstorm's passive sp.def since it would turn into a rock type.
      Hail = Sp. Attack:
      Hyper offense Castform. Have it be firing off icebeams and weather balls at 100 base attack or higher, it has trash speed anyways.
      - Sun = Speed? (Raising attack would be trash) Sun has some really high base power moves like solar beam, overheat, flamethrower, etc. Give it a speedboost and fire typing to hit off STAB fire moves. a different take on the chlorophyll sweepers.
      Overall, Castform has trash base stats and it probably the worst pokemon suffering from 4 move slot syndrome. Imagine if he was the ultimate weathermon, that would be ideal.
