In Pokémon Pokopia, which Pokémon enjoys darkness?

The story behind the answer

Hoothoot is the Pokémon identified in Pokémon Pokopia as enjoying darkness.

This detail illustrates how Pokopia links Pokémon encounters to habitat design. Rather than placing every species in identical conditions, the game gives Pokémon individual environmental preferences. Players must observe those preferences and build or arrange spaces that make the Pokémon comfortable.

Hoothoot’s preference fits its established identity as a nocturnal owl Pokémon. In the wider Pokémon series, Hoothoot is associated with nighttime activity and the ability Insomnia, making darkness a natural thematic fit for its Pokopia habitat.

The point is not that Hoothoot is the only Pokémon that can appear at night. Pokopia also has a day-and-night cycle connected to real-world time, and different species can have different habitat requirements. The specific trivia fact is that Hoothoot is described as enjoying darkness, while other Pokémon may be attracted by terrain, plants, furniture, or combinations of those features.
