Noctowl
Its extremely soft feathers make no sound in flight. It silently sneaks up on prey without being detected.
Noctowl is a Pokemon that evolves from Hoothoot, making it available relatively early. It evolves at level 20, making it a quick Pokemon to max out. Its hidden ability Tinted Lens means resisted moves still hit okay, which is a nice advantage when you don't have all of the Pokemon types you want available yet. Don't forget the STAB when thinking about Tinted Lens moves! Hypnosis plus Dream Eater is kind of gimmicky, but it works. Moonblast gives great coverage for a Ghost/Flying type.
Prevents it from falling asleep.
Prevents foes from lowering accuracy.
Powers up not very effective moves.
Evolution Chain
Note, you can always call Professor Elm with the Pokemon you are trying to evolve as first in your party. This was a feature that was added specifically to Polished Crystal. If the information on this page seems incorrect, please try calling Professor Elm.
