Noctowl [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Noctowl #42 stands out in Neo Genesis for its Pokémon Power, Glaring Gaze, which could force a Trainer card out of an opponent’s hand before attacks even began—a sneaky control effect that feels perfectly on-brand for Noctowl’s watchful design.
In-Game
This card’s flavor text comes straight from Noctowl’s classic Pokédex identity, echoing the Gold and Silver-era description that its eyes can gather even faint light and let it see in the dark.
Card History
For collectors who love anime history, Noctowl is tied to one of Johto’s most memorable moments because Ash’s Noctowl was the first Shiny Pokémon shown in the animated series.
Artist
The artwork is by Ken Sugimori, Pokémon’s original character designer, which gives this Neo Genesis Noctowl the clean, classic illustrated look that many WotC-era collectors chase.
Set Lore
Neo Genesis was the English TCG set that ushered Generation II into card form, so pulling a 1st Edition Noctowl means owning an early English-era appearance of one of Johto’s debut Pokémon.
