Noctowl is Pokédex #164, generation 2 (Johto). Noctowl is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 40. The card says it evolves from Hoothoot. In this catalog that name is Hoothoot (#163).

Noctowl sits at 34/130 in Diamond & Pearl, position 34 of 130. Before it is 33 Munchlax, and after it is 35 Pachirisu. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on May 1, 2007. The printed size is 130, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack See Beyond lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Choose a card from your hand and put it as a Prize card face up. Then, choose 1 of your face-down Prize cards without looking and put it into your hand. This attack does nothing if all of your Prize cards are face up. Extrasensory is another attack lists 30+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. If you have the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent, this attack does 30 damage plus 50 more damage. Weakness is Lightning +20. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its eyes are special. They can pick out objects as long as there is the tiniest amount of light."

Noctowl (#164) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Noctowl 42/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Noctowl list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsuko Nishida. I count 408 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Diamond & Pearl set binder is where a full Diamond & Pearl set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Noctowl can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Atsuko Nishida cards, early series. I still need this card.
