Hoothoot (Japanese: ホーホー Hoho) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Hoothoot are round, owl-like brown birds with very large, red eyes. Around these eyes are black rings, with extensions on the lower parts of the pattern resenbling stylized eyelashes. It has a black-colored crest on top which resembles the hands of a clock. Another notable feature is that it seems to only have one pink-colored foot with four toes; however, it actually has two feet, but one is usually hidden in its feathers underneath. Hoothoot’s owlish beak is pink in coloration, its wings are stubby, and its tail is short and mostly square-shaped with three tail feathers. Hoothoot’s underbelly is a shade of beige with tufts of feathers above its feet.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Being nocturnal, it has exceptional eyesight and hearing. It is capable of learning Template:Type2 attacks. It also has the innate ability to tell exactly what time it is, and can even function as an alarm clock. Hoothoot has the ability to learn the move Foresight, which reveals Template:Type2s through their tricks and nullfies their immunity to Fighting- and Template:Type2 moves.
Behavior
It is nocturnal, meaning that they are only active at night. It has an organ which works like a timepiece, which allows Hoothoot to hoot at the same time each night. Hoothoot keeps rhythm by precisely tilting its head in time. Hoothoot is also notable for its tendency to stand on only one foot at all times, switching feet so quickly the movement can barely be seen. Its tendency to stand on only one foot is so strong, that even when attacked it does not brace itself using both feet. However, it has been depicted to fly with both feet visible.
Habitat
Hoothoot only come out at night, but are a very common sight anywhere in Johto and Sinnoh. Their nests are likely to be found in the trees of forests.

Pokémon Adventures
Hoothoot was seen used by a trickster in Volume 8. He claimed to use Hoothoot as an accurate timekeeper to regulate a prize-winning game he was hosting, when in fact he was prompting Hoothoot to declare the time limit whenever a participant was on the verge of winning, thus preventing anyone from winning his game. He was busted, however, by Gold and his Aipom.
The same man and his Hoothoot are seen in Volume 11 and Volume 14.

Trivia
- Hoothoot is the mascot of Pokéteca, the Spanish member of Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis.
- In Generation II, Hoothoot's eyes were white instead of red due to color limitations.
Origin
Hoothoot seems to be based on a combination of an owl, more specifically the Eagle Owl, and a clock, as its eyebrows are shaped like the hour and minute hands on a clock; in addition, it has the ability to keep track of time.
Name origin
Hoothoot's name is simply the onomatopoeia for the sound owls make doubled. It may also be a portmanteau of "hoot" and "Cuckoo", referencing the Cuckoo clock, again referring to Hoothoot's keen ability to keep track of time.
In other languages
- German: Hoothoot
- French: Hoothoot
- Korean: 부우부 Buubu
- Chinese (Taiwan): 咕咕 Gū Gū - 咕 refers to the onomatopoetic sound of birds, coo. Also means to mutter.
