Level 1

Ability[]

All Evolution Stages

Magician

In battles where the map is divided into an ally team side and an opposing team side, this Ability creates a hole under one of the Berries on the opposing team’s side (chosen at random) and warps it to right in front of Hoopa. If there are no Berries on the opposing team’s side but there a is Aeos energy on the ground, then some energy is warped in front of Hoopa instead. In the event that no Berries are warped, the cooldown until this ability’s next use is reduced.

Movesets[]

Icon	Attack	Type	Cooldown	Damage		Description	Notes
Icon	Attack	Type	Cooldown	Starting	Final	Description	Notes
	Standard Attack	N/A				Becomes a boosted attack with every third attack, dealing damage to the opposing Pokemon by unleashing a beam of light. When Hoopa is unbound, it unleashes beams of light with every basic attack, dealing damage to up to two nearby opposing Pokemon.
Level 1 - Level 3 The following moves can be learned at Level 1 and Level 3, in any order.
	Astonish	Hindrance	6.5 seconds	386	473	Deals damage to opposing Pokemon in the designated area of effect, leaving them unable to act for a short time.
	Confusion	Ranged	9 seconds	636	747	Has the user unleash a telekinitic force in the designated direction, dealing damage to the first opposing Pokemon it hits. The telekenitic force clings to that Pokemon and then causes a delayed explosion. The explosion deals damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect and decreases their movement speed for a short time.
Level 4 One of the following moves can be learned at Level 5 to replace Confusion.
	Hyperspace Hole	Dash	12 seconds	386	473	Hoopa creates a large ring at the designated location, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect. After a set amount of time, Hoopa and any ally Pokemon in the area of effect will return to their base, and their movement speed will be increased for a short time. Ally Pokemon that return to their base in this manner must wait a short time before the HP recovery from being in their base triggers. These ally Pokemon can also warp back to where the large ring was created. An intact ally forward goal zone can also be designated as the location where the large ring is created. Creating the ring on the forward goal zone of the top path will also create a ring on the forward goal zone of the bottom path, and vice versa. All ally Pokemon, including Hoopa, can use these rings to warp between the two goal zones, and their movement speed will be increased for a short time after warping. After an ally Pokemon warps, there is a set cooldown before that ally can use these rings again. If a path's forward goal zone is destroyed, the middle goal zone on the same path will take its place. This move cannot be used on base goal zones. Upgrade (Level 10): Also increases the movement speed of ally Pokemon near the ring when they are heading toward it.
	Trick	Buff	9 seconds	636	747	Hoopa creates a link between itself and an ally Pokemon using a ring, increasing both of their movement speeds and granting them each a shield for a short time. When Hoopa uses Shadow Ball or performs a basic attack, the ring on the linked Pokemon also unleashes the same move or attack. Hoopa can also use this move on itself, increasing Hoopa’s movement speed and granting itself a shield for a while. Additionally, it increases the damage dealt by Shadow Ball. Upgrade (Level 10): Also restores the linked ally Pokemon’s HP when it deals damage to opposing Pokemon.
Level 6 One of the following moves can be learned at Level 6 to replace Astonish.
	Phantom Force	Hindrance	6.5 seconds	1144	2392	Hoopa creates a ring under itself and warps to a designated Pokemon's location, dealing damage to nearby opposing Pokemon at that location and shoving them. Hoopa then shoots two sinister flames that deal damage to opposing Pokemon they hit and decrease their movement speed for a short time. This move can be used a second time within a set amount of time. If used a second time, Hoopa can return to the initial location where it warped from. When using this move, if there is a nearby ally Pokemon that is linked by Trick, that ally can also warp to the initial ring's location. The ally Pokemon that warps in this way will recover some HP. Upgrade (Level 12): Makes the user invincible for a short time when this move is used.
	Shadow Ball	Ranged	4.5 seconds	419	827	Has the user unleash a shadowy blob in front of itself, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits and decreasing their movement speed Sp. Def for a short time. If the user then hits the same opposing Pokemon with a move or boosted attack within a set amount of time, it deals additional damage to the opposing Pokemon and leaves them unable to act for a short time. When using this move, if there is a nearby ally Pokemon linked by Trick, this move will also unleash a shadowy blob at the same target from that ally's location. Upgrade (Level 12): The shadowy blob will now explode before it disappears. Opposing Pokemon hit by the explosion are affected as if they were hit by the shadowy blob itself.
				Additional Damage
				535	1056
Level 9 The Pokémon learns its Unite Move.
	Rings Unbound	Buff	111 seconds	N/A		Transorms the user into Hoopa Unbound for a short time, increasing the user's max HP and creating a ring at the designated location. Each ally Pokemon can warp to the ring's location once only. As Hoopa Unbound, the user's moves changes to Hyperspace Fury and Psybeam. As Hoopa Unbound, the user cannot score goals or activate its ability.
After using Rings Unbound, Hoopa will enter its Unbound Form and change moveset.
	Hyperspace Fury	Area	5 seconds	679	1120	Has the user unleash a barrage of attackes in the designated area with its many arms, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect and leaving them unable to act for a short time.
	Psybeam	Area	9 seconds	1169	1841	Has the user fire a peculiar ray in front of itself in a horizontal sweeping motion, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits. The user becomes immune to hindrances while using this move.
