    Fun Fact that I hope no one else has commented on yet, the reason Noctowl has the hidden ability Tinted Lens is because they have very special eyes. To be more specific, owls’ don’t have eyeballs (at least in the way we know it). Instead their eyes are tubes that act similar to binoculars. Because of this, their eyes are completely immobile. That’s one of the reasons they can move their heads like an irl cryptid.

    So.... You went to a second-hand-store to buy some old clocks to destroy. One there you found an old babydoll and thought "Wouldn't it be hilarious if I ate it?".

    Fun theory, don't remember if I saw it somewhere or if it came to me. Noctowl was originally psychic type many years ago, but evolved the normal type to be able to survive among ghost type pokemon, which they share habitat with. That would explain why they learn that insane amount of psychic type moves naturally
  • Hello, I'm back today to explain German Pokémon names. This time, of course, I will be talking about Hoothoot and Noctowl. And this will be very short, due to Hoothoot having the same name in English and German. Noctowl's name is also pretty similiar in both languages, but still different enough to talk about it. So, it'd name is a combination of "noctu" or nocternal and "Uhu" or "huh"? "Noctu" being the latin word für "at night" or "during night". Meanwhile, "Uhu" is a German word for some specific types for owls like the great horned owls or the eagle owl. "Huh" is the sound olws make, just like "hoot" and is pronounced pretty much the same, except the 't' missing. And that's it for today. Thanks fot reading and see you next time!

    Noctowls been my favourite Route 1 Bird Pokemon for the longest time. Stuff ya Galewings! Owl has Confusion and Hypnosis. All I need!
  • I read the title and immediately laughed. Owl House meets Pokemon in perfect unison
  • @limeyell0w945
    Still kind of sad that the book hoothoot on the sign in the galar bookstores wasnt an actual regional variant
  • @KuroBlitz
    Shiny Noctowl is perfect. Golden Bird like Ho-Oh and Psychic Attacks like Lugia. Not to mention Ash's was caught in Ilex Forest where Celebi dwells, very cool.
  • @illusionsmage
    Owl house? SOUNDS LIKE A FUN THING TO WATCH HOOT HOOT!
  • YESS I GOT THE LOON CALL! I live in Wisconsin in the summer. While they can make the call anytime it's usually around dusk just after the sun goes down.
  • 5:14 it would have been great to have a cockerel counterpart for the Hoothoot line in Gen2 which only could be encountered at morning.

  • The whole thing about Noctowl's inspiration hunting smaller owls and the eating the baby gag reminded me of something, likely not intentional but it felt like something worth contributing. Chronos (at least from what I can gather, I haven't really seen him mentioned in Greek or Roman mythos unless I explicitly looked for it), is apparently the personification of time. HOWEVER, his name also sounds remarkably similar to Kronos, the youngest titan, known for devouring his own offspring in an attempt to maintain his rule. There's also the myth of Athena's birth, where she sprung from Zeus' head after he devoured her mother in fear she'd birth a son that would overthrow him, much like he did with his own father Kronos. Most likely I'm reaching here, but eh, I found it interesting so here you go-

    I love Lockstin’s delivery this episode, totally unhinged and just a joy to watch. Informative and hilarious, it’s why I always come back for more.
  • So are HootHoot and Hooty friends? Was Hooty secretly a HootHoot this whole time?!?!😂
  • Yes I recognized the sound of the loon, it's call brings to mind a lot of nostalgia and now I really want a Loon pokemon. Maybe a ghost water type since they were close to extinction recently and these birds look pretty creepy and blend into the shadows pretty well.
  • I just finished the owl house and now Lockstin does an owl episode, someone’s watching me and I will find them!
