# Hypno #23/123 — HeartGold SoulSilver

## Summary

Hypno carries a faintly sinister Gen I reputation, and the Sleep Pendulum Poke-POWER is the kind of coin-flip disruption that defined HGSS-era Psychic decks. As a plain Rare in a set built around Johto remakes, it sits mid-tier, with Masakazu Fukuda's name adding modest completionist appeal. At a $1.67 modelled guide, with 1 copy traded in 30 days, 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.
