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

Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this card. The same name is on 248 other cards in the catalog.

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. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Noctowl list a different HP.

The attack Blindside lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 60 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Slashing Claw is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "With eyes that can see in pitch-darkness, it never lets its prey escape. Some even call it "the emperor of dark nights.""

I keep a set binder for Unified Minds, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Unified Minds set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Noctowl can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
