I just caught both a Drowzee and an Abra in my SoulSilver playthrough

Is there anything that makes Hypno better than Kadabra/Alakazam? It seems like penis nose is always overlooked

Hypno is a fucking disgusting Pokemon and should be retconned out of existence.

Hypno has more defense (but is still kind of frail) while alakazam has more special attack and speed.
Hypno can be both physical with belly drum or special with nasty plot, but both need a lot of support for this to work because of it's low speed.
It's only advantage other Alakazam is that it can learn baton pass, but it's a move he can only learn when purified in Pokemon XD.
So no, Hypno is pretty bad and there's no readon to use it other Alakazam.

Also belly drum is a gen 3 event only move.

if you like it...use it. for playthrough you can use what ever you want. but for competative purposes alakazam is way better

Hypno doesn't die to one physical hit.

Hypno is useful right then when you catch him, you need to evolve Abra... and SS is not a game that is kind to dragging along a weak party member.

But seriously, I had both during my HG play through. the HG/SS metagame did not include a lot of psychic checks.

I used Hypno all through SS and it fucking ravaged teams all on it's own with Hypnosis and Dream Eater.
Use it, make it good, whatever. When ORAS rolls around, I'm gonna try my best to make Hypno work.

Here are a set of non legendary mono psychic Pokemon (missing Wobbuffet, Espeon, Chimecho and Unown)
Hypno has a nice Sp. Def but its offensive stats and speed are too low to use it as anything other than a special wall (with poor support moves, at least in Gen VI)
Grumpig has slightly worse bulk but better speed and a usable special attack. Excellent coverage moves too, most notably Power Gem.
Musharna is slow but has the best bulk of the lot, and a plethora of support options (including Healing Wish, Baton Pass and Helping Hand)
Gothitelle owes a lot to its Ability, but it's stats are nothing to sneeze at. Low speed can be problematic. Atrocious offensive movepool.
Beeheeyem is powerful and enjoys analytic, but is too frail to abuse it for very long. Outclassed defensively by Musharna and Gothitelle and offensively by Reuniclus.
Reuniclus makes excellent use of Magic Guard and a Life Orb, and has Recover. Really solid Trick Room attacker.
Female Meowstic is bad. Male Meowstic is a good Prankster.
Alakazam is fast, hits hard and has ok coverage, but is physically frail. Magic Guard Life Orb is fun here too.

As for Chimecho, Wobbuffet and Espeon:
Chimecho is frail but has Cosmic Power and Recover (Sigilyph is better)
Wobbuffet can do precisely one thing.
Espeon is pretty versatile, but Magic Bounce is what makes it great. Almost as powerful as Alakazam but is an eeveelution.
