Noctowl 8/123 · HeartGold & SoulSilver

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

Noctowl sits at 8/123 in HeartGold & SoulSilver, position 8 of 124. Before it is 7 Ninetales, and after it is 9 Quagsire. The set belongs to the HeartGold & SoulSilver series. It was released on February 10, 2010. The printed size is 123. This checklist is longer, at 124 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Night Sight is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may draw a card. This power can't be used if Noctowl is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Extrasensory lists 40+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. If you have the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent, this attack does 40 damage plus 40 more damage. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its eyes are specially adapted. They concentrate even faint light and enable it to see in the dark."

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 Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Suwama Chiaki illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Noctowl list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Suwama Chiaki. I count 102 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

HeartGold & SoulSilver set binder is where a full HeartGold & SoulSilver 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.
