The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Shield

    It begins to hoot at the same time every day. Some Trainers use them in place of clocks.

  • Sword

    It always stands on one foot. It changes feet so fast, the movement can rarely be seen.

  • Ultra Moon

    It cries out at the same time every day. A long time ago, people cherished it and considered it a divine messenger sent to tell the time.

  • Ultra Sun

    Every day, it tilts its head in the same rhythm. A long time ago, people raised these Pokémon to serve as clocks.

6 more entries from older games

  • X

    It has a perfect sense of time. Whatever happens, it keeps rhythm by precisely tilting its head in time.

  • White 2

    It marks time precisely. Some countries consider it to be a wise friend, versed in the world’s ways.

  • Pearl

    It switches its standing foot so quickly, it can’t be seen. It cries at the same time every day.

  • Diamond

    It always stands on one foot. Even when attacked, it does not brace itself using both feet.

  • Emerald

    It has an internal organ that senses the earth’s rotation. Using this special organ, a HOOTHOOT begins hooting at precisely the same time every day.
