Noctowl 40/144 · Skyridge

Noctowl is Pokédex #164, generation 2 (Johto). Noctowl is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Hoothoot. In this catalog that name is Hoothoot (#163).

Noctowl sits at 40/144 in Skyridge, position 40 of 182. Before it is 39 Misdreavus, and after it is 41 Omanyte. The set belongs to the E-Card series. It was released on May 12, 2003. The printed size is 144. This checklist is longer, at 182 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Investigate is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at the top 2 cards of any player's deck or at up to 2 of any player's Prizes. Put any cards you looked at back in the same order. This power can't be used if Noctowl is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Triple Smash lists 10+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip 3 coins. This attack does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each heads. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30.

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 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 17 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.

Skyridge set binder is where a full Skyridge 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). I still need this card.
