Noctowl (Japanese: ヨルノズク Yorunozuku) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Hoothoot starting at level 20.
Physiology
Noctowl looks much like a ‘normal’ owl, with a brown coloring and a triangle pattern of a darker shade of brown running down its chest. Its wings and wedge-shaped tail are dark brown like the pattern on its chest, although the underside of its wings is the same light brown as most of its body. It has bushy, cream-colored feather ‘horns’ that look similar to a trident or eyebrows. The ring pattern around its eyes and its talons are cream in coloration, and Noctowl’s beak and the nails of its talons are light pink. Addtionally, Noctowl’s irises are red.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Noctowl are nocturnal Pokémon. They have exceptional hearing and eyesight, can fly silently, and can turn their heads at a 180° angle to increase intellect.
Behavior
When it needs to think, it rotates its head 180 degrees to sharpen its intellectual power. It also silently sneaks up on prey without being detected.
Habitat
Noctowl normally only come out at night. They tend to make their nests in the trees of forests.
