PSA: Save a bunch of PvP viable Hypno for TM roulette

PSA

Right now we've got an intersection of lots of Drowsee spawns for the Spark event with Hypno being quite good in the NAIC Cup format in PvP. Hypno is one of those Pokemon with a whopping 7 charge moves (not including the legacy Return and Psyshock) and a lot of variability depending on the format. Sometimes you want double elemental punch. Sometimes you want to nuke Focus Blast. And even with the most common Punch/Shadow Ball the specific elemental punch you need can change. With the terrible TM system, switching your Hypno's moves between formats can absolutely devastate your charge TM supply. One way around this is to build multiple Hypno and lock their moves in for a specific use. Also, evolve them all first (if you can spare the candy) and see which one starts with at least one of the moves you want. There will still be a lot of roulette up front to get both moves you need, but in the long run this can save you TMs if you use Hypno in different formats
