In the anime

File:Ash's Noctowl.jpg
Shiny Noctowl in the anime.

Noctowl first appeared in Fowl Play. A man was trying to capture a smaller, shiny Noctowl by using traps, but kept failing due to the Owl Pokémon's intelligence. After Team Rocket was sent flying, the Noctowl allowed Ash to have the chance to capture it.

Ash's Noctowl was used very much like his Pidgeotto, but it also had access to Psychic attacks such as Confusion which contribute greatly to Ash's victory against Morty. Ash left his Noctowl at Professor Oak's lab when he set out for the Hoenn Region.

Wings Alexander also has a Noctowl, as seen in Throwing in the Noctowl.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Special manga

Noctowl is seen as one of the Pokémon under Falkner's ownership.
