Noctowl is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon (National Dex #164) with a middling stat total of 452. 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 100, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. Special Attack outweighs Attack by a clear margin, so Modest or Timid with a special move set is the natural build. 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, Noctowl 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.

Noctowl evolves into Hoothoot (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, Noctowl has 86 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (14), Sword & Shield (17), BDSP (55) — 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 Noctowl ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
