A Fascination for Noctowl

The second generation of Pokémon species may be regarded as having some of the most notable Pokémon species. One of those may be a bird with a distinct stature, colorful plumage (in one case), and special powers. Those characteristics, of course, belong to Noctowl, the evolved form of Hoothoot and a species quite capable of some "spiritual" moves despite being only of the Normal and Flying type. For some, that might lead to fascination, and that fascination may just deserve to be brought up in a discussion.

As far as Pokémon species go, it's one of the most realistically accurate, given the real species it's based on and vis-a-vis the evolutionary predecessor. It may also be somewhat bigger (compared to the real basis) or even gigantic, but that only adds to the fascination. Meanwhile, the special plumage belongs to its Shiny form, which might belong to some very happy (and lucky) people, including the case of a very specific and fortunate Trainer. It's safe to say that this is also a source of fascination.

Its special powers, meanwhile, are of its own renown. It has the capability of some moves of the Ghost and Psychic type in addition to Flying. Game-wise, while its use in the main series games is sporadic, it is practically one of the "essentials" of the Great League format in Pokémon Go, moreover in the competitive scene, where it can be a part of some novelty teams. Again, this is unique in contrast to its actual type designation, and in this way, a certain fascination is created, even if the context is limited.

Like other Pokémon, Noctowl definitely has special or unique characteristics. Yet it is those characteristics for Noctowl that makes it such a fascination among people and fans. Its powers are (nothing short of) amazing and its appearance is strikingly close to the realistic counterparts, with sizes that might put some of them to shame. What is not a shame, however, is having the admiration or fascination for this fantastic Pokémon, and that speaks for its notability as much as it does for other Pokémon species.
