Pokemon Go just got more exciting with the chance to catch special Pokemons, Hoothoot and Shiny Noctowl. During events like the Flock Together Research Day, your odds of finding one are super high. Plus, if you complete certain tasks, you might just get it! 

Here's how to enhance your chances to get the Hoothoot:

  1. Use items like Incense and Lure Modules during events to make more Hoothoots appear. 
  2. Keep an eye on the weather, too — if it's partly cloudy or windy, you're more likely to find the one. 
  3. You can also complete challenges in different quests during events like Flock Together Research Day. 
  4. Additionally, you can get a Shiny Hoothoot as a reward, however, it's not guaranteed.

In Pokemon Go, Niantic developers made identical Combat Power and stats for standard monsters and their Shiny versions. Hoothoot and Shiny Hoothoot boast the same maximum CP of 766 and stats. When evolved into Noctowl, CP jumps to 2288 with increased stats.

Once you've caught your Shiny Hoothoot, you can evolve it into a Shiny Noctowl with just 50 Candy. You will have to catch more Hoothoots to collect Candy faster. Catching an amazing Pokemon depends on your luck and you can apply some tactics as well to get them.
