In ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', Ash used Noctowl as his first Pokémon in his battle against [[Conway]] in the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], where it went up against his {{p|Shuckle}}. Shuckle started off with {{m|Withdraw}} raising its defense. Noctowl used Sky Attack, and while it was charging, Shuckle used a second Withdraw. Using its Sky Attack, Noctowl then charged against Shuckle who used withdraw a third time, deflecting Noctowl's attack and damaging it. Shuckle then used {{m|Power Trick}} to swap its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}}, making its attack high but its defense low. Noctowl then used Air Slash, but Shuckle used a powerful {{m|Gyro Ball}} cutting off Sky Attack and dealing major damage to Noctowl. Ash then returned Noctowl. Noctowl was later sent out against {{p|Lickilicky}}, which used {{m|Power Whip}}, but its long tongue was unable to reach Noctowl, who was airborne. Noctowl then dealt damage with Air Slash. After dodging {{m|Thunderbolt}}, Noctowl used Extrasensory, lifting Lickilicky into the air and then dropping it, defeating it. Conway then used his last Pokémon, {{p|Dusknoir}}, Dusknoir immediately used {{m|Trick Room}}, Noctowl attempted to use Extrasensory, but Dusknoir quickly came from behind and used {{m|Thunder Punch}}, knocking Noctowl out before it could use Extrasensory. Conway then explained it was because of Trick Room, as it makes the slowest Pokémon attack first, thus the slow Dusknoir attacking before the normally faster Noctowl.
