Hoothoot (Japanese: ホーホー, Hepburn: Hoohoo) (HOOT-HOOT) is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It evolves into Noctowl starting at level 20.

Biology

Physiology

Hoothoot is a short, round Pokémon that resembles an owl. It has brown plumage, a beige belly, and two pink talons tipped with sharp claws. While it has two talons, it always stands on only one. It also has short, stubby wings, red eyes that resemble two Unowns, and black clock-like markings on its head.

Behavior

Every single day at exactly the same time, Hoothoot begins to start hooting and tilting its head in the same rhythm. For some reason, Hoothoot always stands on one foot, even when under attack.

Natural abilities

Strangely for such a small and round Pokémon, Hoothoot has the ability to switch the foot it's standing on so fast that it's hard to see. It also has a perfect sense of time thanks to having a special internal organ that senses the earth's rotation.

Trivia

• Whenever Hoothoot jumps, it's shown that it actually has two feet.
• Hoothoot is the tallest and heaviest of the regional birds in its first stage. It is even taller and heavier than some of the regional birds in their second stage.

Origin

According to Ken Sugimori, Hoothoot is based on his childhood pet bird which loved to stand on one leg. Its appearance is similar to that of owls. Its association with time and its head feathers resembling clock handles may take inspiration from the birds often found in coo-coo clocks.

Etymology

Hoothoot is derived from hoot, the onomatopoeia for the sounds owls make.
