Noctowl
Turns each evolution into two free Trainer cards in Tera decks.
What this card does
When your child evolves Hoothoot into Noctowl, it can search the deck for up to two Trainer cards and add them to hand.
It keeps a Tera-based deck flowing by topping up the useful Trainer cards that decks rely on.
Jewel Seeker
Once during your turn, when you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, if you have any Tera Pokémon in play, you may search your deck for up to 2 Trainer cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
Jewel Seeker triggers the moment you play Noctowl from your hand to evolve Hoothoot. If you have a Tera Pokémon in play, you may search your deck for up to two Trainer cards and put them into your hand. With no Tera Pokémon out, the ability gives you nothing.

Which deck it belongs in
It is a consistency engine for decks built around Tera Pokémon, such as Dragapult ex builds.
- •Pulls two Trainer cards on evolution
- •Adds steady consistency to Tera decks
- •Also has a usable 60-damage attack as backup
- •The ability does nothing without a Tera Pokémon in play
- •It needs Hoothoot first, so it takes a turn to set up
Pairs well with
Hoothoot is the basic stage that Noctowl evolves from.
Its Tera body switches Jewel Seeker on and keeps the deck stocked with Trainers.
Make sure a Tera Pokémon is on the board before you evolve Hoothoot, or you waste the search.

Dragapult ex is the most successful deck of the season, with event wins including the Korean League Final, Lima, Los Angeles, Champions League Aichi and Prague. At Australia's Melbourne Regional it took first, second and several Top 8 places, and Australian Junior Bayzen A. finished 5th.
Noctowl can rotate its head almost all the way around and flies in near silence.
This card only pays off when there is a Tera Pokémon on the board, so it belongs in a deck designed around them rather than a casual mix.
