Overview

Despite its above-average Special Defense and access to Wish, fierce competition from Audino relegates Hypno to taking on a more offensive role. With its decent special bulk, Hypno can utilize Hypnosis to gain free turns and set up Belly Drum safely. However, banking on Hypno to land Z-Hypnosis in the first place combined with the fact Hypno is still outsped at +1 by nearly every relevant Choice Scarf user makes it a bad setup sweeper to waste giving the Z-Crystal to. Hypno also is unable to break through certain Pokemon such as Musharna, Spiritomb, and Sableye.

Hypno should use Z-Hypnosis followed with Belly Drum and attempt to sweep. Despite not really being directly outclassed by anything due to the void of physical Psychic-types, in general offensive Psychic-types such as Alolan Raichu and Mr. Mime do a much better job at offensively pressuring the opposing team, reliably setting up, and making use of the Z-Crystal.
