# Hypno #16/147 — Aquapolis

## Summary

Hypno is a Gen I Psychic with a darker reputation than most, and Aquapolis gave it a Poke-Power that put the Defending Pokémon to sleep every turn, a real nuisance for its day. Mitsuhiro Arita's name draws the nostalgic crowd, and a non-holo Rare here is a mid-tier pull. At a $43 modelled guide, up 4% over 30 days on 8 copies traded, with only 30 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.12 out of Shrouded Fable; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
