Hoothoot (Japanese: ホーホー Hoho) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves into Noctowl starting at level 20.
Biology
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, which aid its incredible night vision. 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 features two protrusions at the top resembling the hands of a clock, while the lower parts have notches similar to the teeth of clockwork gear. Hoothoot has a small, hooked beak and two feet with five clawed 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.
Hoothoot hoots at exactly the same time each day because of a special organ that senses Earth's rotation, allowing it to keep track of time. Hoothoot is well known for its ability to keep rhythm by precisely tilting its head in time, much like a metronome. As a result, Hoothoot was considered a divine messenger of time and was raised to serve as clocks across communities a long time ago. Hoothoot is most commonly found nesting in forest trees.

Hoothoot was used by a trickster in Who Gives a Hoothoot?. He claimed to use Hoothoot as an accurate timekeeper to regulate a prize-winning game he was hosting, when in fact he was prompting Hoothoot to declare the time limit whenever a participant was on the verge of winning, thus preventing anyone from winning his game. He was busted however, by Gold and his Aipom. The same man and his Hoothoot are seen in Really Raikou & Entirely Entei I and The Last Battle XIII.
Two Hoothoot were seen at night near the forest Gold was sleeping in, in Gilgar Glide.

Trivia
- In Fighting Flyer with Fire, Falkner's Hoothoot stands on both legs, even though Hoothoot supposedly only ever stands on one leg at a time.
- In Nintendo Power Vol. 134, Ken Sugimori stated in an interview that Hoothoot is his favorite Pokémon because he had a pet bird as a child that would stand on one foot.[1]
- Hoothoot has a unique fade-in animation that is programmed into Pokémon Gold and Silver but goes unused.
Origin
Hoothoot seems to be based on a combination of an owl—more specifically the Eagle Owl—and a clock, as its crest's prongs are shaped like the hands of a clock; in addition, it has the ability to keep track of time.
Name origin
Hoothoot is derived from hoot, an onomatopoeia for the sound an owl makes. It may also be a combination of hoot and cuckoo, as in a Cuckoo clock, referring to Hoothoot's keen ability to keep track of time.
Hoho is derived from hoo, another onomatopoeia for the sound an owl makes.
