Ash's Noctowl (Japanese: サトシのヨルノズク Satoshi's Yorunozuku) is an Template:Shiny2 Pokémon that Ash encountered on the way to Goldenrod City during his travels through Johto in Fowl Play. Not only did it have a unique color, but it was also unusually small and intelligent. Its voice actor in both the Japanese and English versions was Yuji Ueda.
History
Johto
Dr. Wiseman was trying to capture the Noctowl using traps rather than Poké Balls, but each time Noctowl outwitted him and escaped the traps — usually leaving him hypnotized in the process. After Ash rescued it from Team Rocket, Ash had Pikachu battle it and he captured it, adding it to his team.
Ash used Noctowl much in the same way he did with Pidgeotto, sending it out to scout or to pop Team Rocket's balloon, but otherwise not focusing too much on it. For some reason, it was often absent from scenes featuring the rest of the group's Pokémon. Noctowl, however, was unique when compared to Pidgeotto in that it had psychic powers that made it especially useful against Template:Type2 Pokémon. This contributed greatly towards Ash's victory against Morty in Ecruteak City.
Personality-wise, Noctowl was presented as intelligent, mischievous, and cunning — although these traits weren't usually emphasized or touched upon after its debut episode. Ash left Noctowl along with his other Johto Pokémon at Professor Oak's Laboratory when he set off for the Hoenn region.
Sinnoh
Noctowl appeared in DP182, alongside Ash's other Pokémon. In DP185 Ash used Noctowl in his battle with Conway in the Suzuran Conference. It put up a strong fight against Conway's Shuckle, Lickilicky, and Dusknoir, showing that it had learned three powerful new moves during its time away from Ash at Oak's Lab. The three new moves that it utilized during the battle were Extrasensory, Air Slash, and Sky Attack. Ultimately, however, after putting up a great battle against Conway's Shuckle and Lickilicky, it fell to Conway's Dusknoir and its powerful Thunderpunch.
