HoothootPrismatic Evolutions #77 Pokémon Card

Hoothoot is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, making its debut in the Johto region. Known as the "Owl Pokémon," Hoothoot is easily recognizable by its large, clock-like eyes and single leg, which it uses to keep perfect time. Its Pokédex entries often highlight its uncanny ability to precisely tell the time, with some cultures even revering it as a deity of wisdom. Hoothoot typically inhabits forests and woodlands, often perching on branches, balancing on one leg, and rotating its head to scan its surroundings. Its diet primarily consists of insects and small invertebrates, which it hunts at night. Hoothoot evolves into Noctowl starting at level 20. As a Normal/Flying type, it is weak to Rock, Electric, and Ice-type attacks, resistant to Grass and Bug, and immune to Ground-type moves. In the games, Hoothoot and Noctowl are often early-game Flying-type options, valued for their access to utility moves and decent Special Attack. In the anime, Ash Ketchum famously caught a Hoothoot that evolved into a powerful Noctowl, further cementing its gentle yet wise image. Its unique time-telling ability and association with wisdom contribute to its cultural significance within the Pokémon world.
