NOCTOWL

This is another Pokemon from my daughter’s always growing “To Do” list that she gave shortly after Pokemon Go was released.  Noctowl is on the list along with his basic form, Hoothoot.  I am sure that making Noctowl will lead to making Hoothoot shortly.  This pattern includes the color lists for both Noctowl and Shiny Noctowl.
