Noctowl (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Noctowl is a [[nocturnal Pokémon]] that is called "the emperor of dark nights" by some. It has exceptional eyes that concentrate the faintest light and give it night vision, supple wings capable of silent flight, and it can twist its head at a 180-degree angle to increase its intellect. Its superior senses and intellect allow it to catch prey without fail in the darkness. It can also turn its head upside down, which signals that it is troubled by something. If disturbed in this state, it will peck at the offender. Noctowl is most commonly found nesting in trees in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate and boreal forests}}.
