Hoopa <sup>(JPJapanese: フーパ

Romaji: Hoopa)</sup> is a dual Psychic/Ghost type Mythical Pokémon. When exposed to the Prison Bottle, it turns into his alternate form, the Unbound form. The Unbound form increases in size massively as well as boosting in the Attack stats. The Unbound form also turns it into a Psychic/Dark Pokémon.

Physiology and Behavior

Hoopa Confined is a light-purple Pokémon with a vaguely humanoid appearance. It has green eyes with yellow sclerae, a yellow ring marking on its forehead, a small, pink dot under each eye, and dark pink hair tied into a short ponytail. On either side of its head is a dark gray horn that curves slightly upward. Its body has a dark pink, V-shaped marking on the chest and a small, golden spike on each shoulder. Its arms are not attached to its body and instead float next to it; each arm has a small golden spike similar to those on its shoulders. It has mitten-like hands and dark pink rings around each wrist. In place of legs, it has a wispy tail. Hoopa has three gold rings: one large one around its lower body and one hanging freely on each of its horns.

In the past, Hoopa's true power is said to have been sealed in the Prison Bottle for the destruction it used to cause, reducing Hoopa to a much smaller and weaker form; opening the bottle grants Hoopa its true form once again, but only for three days. The rings on Hoopa's body can warp space and allow it to transport items, humans, and Pokémon by passing them through its hoops. This power allows it to cause mischief and take anything it wants. It stores all of its gathered loot in a secret spot only it knows. Hoopa is said to have the power to bend dimensions. It is heavily implied to be the one causing many of the Mirage spots in the Hoenn region. As seen in Pokémon Masters EX, Hoopa can even bring people and Pokémon from alternate timelines. Hoopa is also known to like donuts.

Hoopa Unbound

Hoopa Unbound is a large, bipedal Pokémon with six arms. It is mostly light blue with purple fur and hair. The ponytail on its head is larger and bushier and held in place by two golden rings. Its hair now covers its chin, where it forms a pointed beard, and the back of its neck. The horns are less curved and have spiky purple hair around the bases. There are three gold rings on each horn: two around the base and one around the middle. It has yellow eyes white sclerae, a pointed, dark gray nose, a small hole inside of the ring-marking on its forehead, and prominent fangs in the back of its lower jaw. Similar to Hoopa Confined, its arms are disconnected and float next to its body. Instead of a small, gold spike the arms now have large, dark gray spikes and appear from holes along the sides of its body. Each arm has three fingers with dark gray claws, a gold ring around the wrist, and a gold ring around the base. Several tufts of purple fur surround its torso and a gold ring encircles a hole in the center of its chest. Another large gold ring encircles its waist and there are small tufts of fur poking out from underneath it. There is a purple stripe that widens at the knee down each leg and two gold rings around each ankle. The tips of its feet are gold and curl upward. Additionally, this form has a tail with a purple stripe along the top and an arrow-shaped tip. Hoopa Unbound is tied with Mega Gyarados as the tallest Dark-type.

Hoopa Unbound is said to be Hoopa's true form and is said to have a humongous amount of power. Hoopa Unbound is capable of bending dimensions on an even more powerful scale. Hoopa Unbound can summon powerful Legendary Pokémon through its hoops. It can even use its rage to drive Legendary Pokémon berserk. However, this has the dangerous side effect of creating a space-time distortion that'll destroy the area where they were summoned. One legend stated that it greedily teleported an entire castle from Kalos 3,000 years ago to obtain a treasure hidden within it. It can even teleport an entire island through its hoops. Hoopa can remain in Unbound form for three days until its power is sealed back in the Prison Bottle, reverting to the smaller Confined Form.
