# Dark Hypno #6/109 — Team Rocket Returns

## Summary

Dark Hypno is a Team Rocket Returns Rare that belongs to the Dark Pokémon family, tied to the Rocket theme that drew collectors to the set. Hypno is a Gen I Psychic with a quirky, slightly sinister fan following, and Kouki Saitou's name adds a small draw for illustrator-minded collectors. The modelled guide sits at $56 with no copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
