Where to find it

• Scripted encounter (Lv. 25): Seven Island.

  Speak to the snack-theft tourist on Seven Island, then inspect the blocked spot with a healthy Alomomola leading your party. Despite the Noctowl cry/dialogue, Noctowl does not work. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.

Chance per encounter, under the conditions shown.

Times and conditions

• Morning: 4:00–9:59
• Day: 10:00–19:59
• Night: 20:00–3:59

Calendar encounters can replace a land slot on specific dates.
