Noctowl

Owl Pokémon

NormalFlying

NOCTOWL never fails at catching prey in darkness. This POKéMON owes its success to its superior vision that allows it to see in minimal light, and to its soft, supple wings that make no sound in flight.

Strategy Overview

Well, it's Noctowl. It isn't that great, but hey, it's an owl. That's cool, right? Anyway, its main assets are its HP and Special Defense, and that sets it apart from a lot of other UUs, who are sorely lacking in the Defense department. If you're looking for a UU that can actually take some hits, try Noctowl, but don't use it in OU play and expect it to do much.
