CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Hoopa uses its rings to distort space and move objects far away from itself. It sometimes keeps those it likes in a hiding place whose location only it knows. Stories present it as a troublemaker attracted to treasures. One legend goes so far as to relate that it carried off an entire castle to reach what it coveted. Its power thus turns an ordinary desire into a spectacular disappearance, without a visible path connecting the two places.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Omega Ruby reports the legend of the castle carried off by Hoopa to obtain a hidden treasure. Pokémon Y explains the means of its thefts: its rings teleport objects to a hiding place known only to itself.
