CARDEX BACKGROUND
The Pokémon’s story
Hoothoot gives the passage of time a living rhythm. Its head movements follow a precise beat, and its cries recur at the same moment every day. Humans have learned to recognize this regularity, even using it as a clock. Its presence is noticeable in more than its silhouette: it can also organize the habits of those who listen to it.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.A detail worth noticing
This English Hoothoot from Diamond & Pearl offers two different relationships with chance. Hypnosis makes the opposing Pokémon Asleep without a coin flip in its text, while Kick Shot has no effect on tails. The second attack nevertheless shows 30 damage.
