Hypno

Today's pokemon of the day is hypno!

Hypno is a top-notch special wall, only outclassed by the likes of blissey and other OU special walls, Hypno is in the NU tier

Abilities: Insomnia-Prevents sleep, this is probably the ability you should go for as Forewarn isn't very useful

Forewarn-Tells which of the opponent's moves has the highest base power, this ability isn't all that useful as you will probably already know the pokemons best attack.

Calm/Careful Nature

Hypnosis/Thunder Wave

Reflect

Seismic Toss

----------------

This is a pretty standard set and it works out extremely well, it can block almost any special attacks that aren't super-effective.

Hypnosis~ Hypnosis is just for putting the other pokemon to sleep, another option is thunder wave so that it can cripple sweepers.

Reflect~ this move can help hypno survive physical attacks as well as special attacks.

Wish~Recovery move, enough said.

Seismic toss~ just so you can cause damge on the pokemon you've already crippled
