Which Pokémon likes darkness in Pokémon Pokopia?

The story behind the answer

Hoothoot is the Pokémon that likes darkness in Pokémon Pokopia.

Pokopia uses habitat requirements to determine which Pokémon appear in a developing area. Players must arrange terrain, plants, furniture, and other features in ways that suit particular Pokémon. Hoothoot is specifically associated with darkness, making time of day and environmental conditions important when attracting it.

This system differs from simply walking through tall grass and encountering random Pokémon. The player is actively designing a habitat, so knowledge of a Pokémon's preferences can guide construction. The game also includes a day-and-night cycle linked to real-world time, adding another layer to habitat planning.

Hoothoot is easy to confuse with Noctowl because Noctowl is Hoothoot's evolved form and both are owl-like Pokémon. However, the named Pokopia habitat example refers specifically to Hoothoot. The relevant answer is therefore the unevolved species, not its evolution or another nocturnal Pokémon.
