HOOTHOOT & NOCTOWL
HOOTHOOT ホーホー (Hoho) Owl Pokemon | Normal/Flying Hoothoot is a round, owl-like bird with two stubby wings and a short, fan-shaped tail. It has large red eyes with beady pupils. Its feathers are mostly brown with a beige underbelly. Hoothoot has a large black, mask-like crest, which encircles both eyes and covers the face. The crest has two protrusions at the top resembling the hands of a clock. The parts of the crest below each eye have notches resembling the teeth of a clockwork gear. Hoothoot has a small, hooked beak and two feet with five digits. Although it will typically only stand on one foot at a time, it alternates between the two at speeds too difficult to track with the naked eye. |

Why did I choose to collect these Pokemon?
Because I've always loved these two and I love birds. I think Hoothoot and Noctowl are very underappreciated Pokemon, even tho in-game they are kind of sucky. But design wise I think they're great and even when they are clearly based on owls, they still look Pokemon and not just normal animals. They are very unique to me!
