The Generation 2 Pokemon Hoothoot and Noctowl have joined Scarlet and Violet as part of The Teal Mask DLC. The two Owl Pokemon can be found in various places throughout new area Kitakami, but they may prove challenging to find.

Here’s how to catch and evolve Hoothoot.

While Hoothoot can be found throughout most of Kitakami in rocky and grassy areas, finding one may be a bit more challenging.

Hoothoot is one of the many Pokemon that appears in trees, meaning you’ll have to use the ZL and ZR buttons to target and throw a Poke Ball at it.

Additionally, the Owl Pokemon only appears at night. Since Scarlet and Violet’s day-night cycle is about 72 minutes, you may have a wait about half an hour or so.
