In Battle:

• Notable moves include Hypnosis, allowing it to put opponents to sleep, and Peck for damage.
• Beneficial in battles against Grass-, Bug-, and Fighting-type Pokémon due to its Flying-type moves.

Interesting Facts:

• In the Pokémon anime, Hoothoot has been shown to guide people through dark forests, using its keen eyesight.
