What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, look at your opponent's hand. If your opponent has any Trainer cards there, choose 1 of them. Your opponent shuffles that card into his or her deck. This power can't be used if Noctowl is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Its eyes are specially adapted. They concentrate even faint light and enable it to see in the dark.

Where it came from
Noctowl (42/111) was released in 2000 as part of the Neo Genesis expansion, the first Pokémon Trading Card Game set to feature creatures from the Johto region. This set was a landmark release that introduced the second generation of Pokémon, marking a significant transition for players who had previously only interacted with the original 151 species. The card was designed to reflect the nocturnal, psychic-sensitive nature of the Pokémon, serving as a tactical uncommon card within the burgeoning competitive environment of the time.
The artwork for this card was created by Hironobu Yoshida, who contributed numerous illustrations to the Neo series. Yoshida favored a clean, descriptive style that emphasized the creature's anatomy and characteristic environment, helping to ground the fantastical world of Pokémon in a consistent visual language. As part of the Neo Genesis set, the card was widely distributed during the peak of the global Pokémon craze and remains a nostalgic touchstone for collectors of early generation cards.
