What is the difference between "sleep powder" and "hypnosis" or "dark void"??

Question

I knew that these 3 moves can make opponent sleep but are there any difference among them? Please tell me :)

Dark viod is dark-type. it puts both opponents to sleep .it's accuracy is 80. PP 10.and it's Darkrai's signature move.it is a generation IV move

Hypnosis is psychic-type.it puts one opponent to sleep.it's accuracy is 60. PP 20. it's a generation I move

Thank you :) your answer is so detail. :D

No problem. hope I helped. :)

One thing to add, though, is that Dark Void is the only attack that can put any opposing Pokémon (besides Vital Spirit, Insomnia, Substitutes, etc.) to sleep.  Yawn doesn't affect Ghost types, Hypnosis doesn't affect Dark types, and Sleep Powder doesn't affect Grass types.

That sleep powder thing is Gen VI. 2 Yawn can hit ghost types you are reffering to attacks but status moves can hit.
