Noctowl
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Noctowl is a normal/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 452 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 70) and a special attacking profile. Its Insomnia ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Noctowl. Build around what Noctowl actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
