Multiple Hoothoot made their animated series entrance in Illusion Confusion!, rented out by Hagatha and Nagatha to help Trainers including Gary Oak through a haunted forest. In Fighting Flyer with Fire, Falkner used a Hoothoot in his Gym battle against Ash, defeating Chikorita before losing to Pikachu; it reappeared in a flashback in Why? Wynaut!.
