Hypno has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Bulk-leaning spread (193 Defense / 198 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 8 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Hypno deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Windy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Hypno in Pokemon GO?
Hypno's best moveset is Confusion (fast) with Futuresight (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Hypno's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Hypno takes super effective damage from Bug, Dark, Ghost-type moves. It resists Fighting, Psychic, so avoid those types against it.
What is Hypno's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Hypno reaches 2,363 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 2,090 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
What CP is a 100% IV Hypno?
A perfect 15/15/15 Hypno shows 1,194 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,493 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
Is Shadow Hypno better than regular Hypno?
Shadow Hypno deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.
How do you get Hypno in Pokemon GO?
Evolve it from Drowzee (50 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.
Can Hypno be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Hypno depends on whether Niantic has released the form. Check the events page for Community Days and event weekends, which is when shiny rates are boosted.
