What it does

The Defending Pokémon is now Asleep.
When it needs to think, it rotates its head 180 degrees to sharpen its intellectual power.

Where it came from
The Noctowl card, designated HGSS06, was released in early 2010 as part of the HeartGold & SoulSilver Black Star Promos set. These promotional cards were distributed in the West to coincide with the release of the Nintendo DS games HeartGold and SoulSilver, which returned players to the Johto region. The card features artwork by Midori Harada, a prolific illustrator for the Pokémon Trading Card Game whose soft, painterly style is frequently employed for iconic Johto-region Pokémon.
The design of this Noctowl card is notable for its 'Legendary' era aesthetic, maintaining the layout and frame style consistent with the HGSS expansion block. By incorporating Noctowl, a nocturnal Pokémon often associated with the game's day-night cycle mechanic, the promotional release served to immerse players in the thematic elements of the Johto region. It was widely distributed through various retail store promotions and blister packs, making it a accessible piece for collectors of the period.
