Strategy Overview

Hypno differentiates itself from Audino, the most common Wish passer, with its Psychic typing and extensive support movepool Audino could only dream of, including Seismic Toss, Taunt, and Foul Play. However, Hypno also gives up Regenerator and is weak to Knock Off, which is quite detrimental considering that the types of teams Hypno wants to fit on usually include several Eviolite users such as Munchlax, Clefairy, and Vullaby. Furthermore, several of the Fighting-types such as Monferno and Combusken that Hypno wants to check more commonly run physical sets than special ones. Monferno in particular is nearly impossible for Hypno to check considering it's faster and commonly carries U-turn. These attributes make Audino much more consistent than Hypno at Wish passing. In extremely rare moments, however, Hypno can still shine as a Wish passer due to its above average bulk and key Fighting resistance.
