NoctowlTemporal Forces #127 Pokémon Card

Noctowl, the Owl Pokémon, is a Normal/Flying type introduced in Generation II of the Pokémon universe. It evolves from Hoothoot starting at level 20. Known for its exceptional eyesight and ability to fly silently through the night, Noctowl is a nocturnal predator that plays a significant role in the ecosystems it inhabits. Its large, round eyes are specially adapted to see clearly in even the murkiest darkness and with minimal light, making it an efficient hunter. In the Pokémon games, Noctowl is often seen as a reliable Flying-type companion due to its decent stats and access to useful moves. Ash Ketchum famously caught a shiny Hoothoot that evolved into a shiny Noctowl in the anime, making this particular Pokémon a fan favorite and giving it a unique place in cultural significance. Its imposing yet wise appearance has resonated with many trainers, embodying the quiet strength and intelligence of nocturnal birds of prey. Noctowl's typing gives it resistances to Grass and Fighting, while being weak to Electric, Ice, and Rock types.
