Effect

Generations I to III

Hypnosis puts the target to sleep.

In the Generation I handheld games only, Hypnosis can affect a target behind a substitute.

Hypnosis has an accuracy of 60%.

Hypnosis can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Dream Eater to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

Generations IV onward

In Diamond and Pearl and Pokémon Battle Revolution, Hypnosis's accuracy was changed to 70%. In Platinum, it was changed back to 60%. In link battles between Diamond and Pearl and later versions, the more recent version takes priority and Hypnosis's accuracy is set to 60%.

Hypnosis can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing certain moves (Dream Eater, Hex, Nightmare and Wake-Up Slap) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Hypnosis, the user's Speed stat is raised by one stage.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Hypnosis is a move with 17 PP and 100% accuracy. The user targets an enemy in front, while cutting corners, and puts them to sleep if possible. This move is affected by Magic Coat and Taunt.

In Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, the move's PP has been decreased to 13 and its accuracy to 88%.

In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if the enemy is already sleeping, Hypnosis will cause the enemy to become terrified. A terrified Pokémon will run away, and cannot use moves or items. If the enemy uses Hypnosis on one of the player's sleeping Pokémon, the Pokémon will become its puppet. While in the puppet status, the Pokémon will randomly attack its allies or use items. The player cannot switch to the Pokémon affected with this status. If the leader has puppet status, the player won't be able to do anything until it wears off. The puppet status will last until the sleep status wears off.
