Hoothoot is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon (National Dex #163) with a low stat total of 262. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield and BDSP, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is HP at 60, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Hoothoot takes super-effective damage from Electric, Ice, Rock. It is completely immune to Ground, Ghost. It resists Grass, Bug. Its ability options are Insomnia, Keen Eye, Tinted Lens, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Hoothoot evolves into Noctowl (20). You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.

In-game, Hoothoot has 70 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (11), Sword & Shield (12), BDSP (47) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Sword & Shield, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Hoothoot ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
