Night Owl

Overview

Night Owl (夜枭) is the final form of the Hollow Skull line in Roco Kingdom: World Season 1. It is the line's competitive piece, characterized by extremely high HP relative to Ghost-type standards and a species ability that stacks Magic Attack every time the opponent switches or casts a skill. Night Owl punishes swap-heavy and high-APM enemy teams, and is one of the strongest consumption-style threats of the season.

Known Partial Stats

Physical Attack, Physical Defense, and Speed are not confirmed from reliable sources at time of writing. Confirm from the in-game dex before committing to a competitive build.

Species Ability: Scavenge

Scavenge (搜刮) triggers every time the opponent switches spirits or casts a skill. Each trigger increases Night Owl's Magic Attack by 20%. The buff stacks, and because the trigger fires on both opposing actions (switch and cast), enemy teams that rotate turns or spam skills feed Night Owl's damage ceiling for free. Scavenge does not activate on the earlier stages of the line, which is why competitive players always evolve to Night Owl before committing ranked matches.

Recommended Skills

• Control (操控): Dark-element status move that forces the opponent to skip a turn and deals damage. Every Control cast also feeds Scavenge stacks.

• Sneak Attack (偷袭): High hit-rate Magic Attack damage; reliable stack fuel.

• Sonic Boom (音爆): Physical damage plus a disturbance effect; useful against physical walls that ignore Night Owl's Magic Attack boost.

• Pierce (穿膛): Percentage-based damage that ignores both Physical and Magic Defense.

• Ghost Burst (幽灵爆发): 140-power Magic Attack nuke; pairs with high Scavenge stacks for one-shot windows.

Role

• Consumption anchor: Night Owl's game plan is to absorb enemy turns with high HP while Scavenge stacks accumulate, then close with Ghost Burst or Pierce.

• Anti-swap tech: Enemy teams that swap often to reset status effects feed Scavenge on every switch. Bring Night Owl specifically against hyper-offensive rotation teams.

• Control partners: Pair with a status-heavy support that applies sleep or stun. Locked opponents can't break Night Owl's buildup.

How to Obtain

• Evolve Night Sleeper at Level 50 with 3 Ghost Cores and 5 Night Dust.

• Base form can be caught via the Nightmare Shackles Ghost sanctuary fruit pair or as a fixed nighttime spawn on the East District Factory Back Mountain.

• Season shop exchange: 50 Light-Gather Tokens buys a Precious Chance-Encounter Spirit Egg at the Box Research Laboratory vendor.

Material Sourcing

• Ghost Core (幽灵核心): Drops from wild Ghost-type encounters at Abandoned Empty House (废弃空屋), East District Factory Back Mountain (东区工厂后山), and Black Water Cliff (黑水崖).

• Night Dust (暗夜之尘): Exchanged at the spirit evolution shop for in-game gold.

Competitive Notes

• Offensive coverage: Ghost hits Light, Ghost, and Phantom supereffectively. Night Owl is a natural check to Light-type legendaries from Season 1.

• Defensive weaknesses: Ghost takes extra damage from Ghost and Light. Mirror matches become speed races; bring a faster Ghost teammate if the matchup is expected.

• Shiny Night Owl: Season-exclusive shiny exists; hunt through the Ghost sanctuary pair during Season 1.
