Here is what I would do,
Hypnosis: Like you said.
Roost: Also like you said.
Sky Attack: Super power, and Hypnosis lets you get ready.

Answer 3

Gen V

Noctowl (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Insomnia

EVs: 240 HP / 12 Def / 252 SDef / 4 Spd

Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)

• Night Shade
• Roost
• Reflect
• Hypnosis

I personally like this guy a lot as a wall. And since it's so unknown, I sometimes have people trying to put him to sleep! Completely defensive EV spread. As such, Night Shade is going to be doing the most damage. Roost provides healing along with Leftovers. Your defense isn't very good, but Reflect takes care of that. Hypnosis puts the foe to sleep of course. Actually a pretty good wall. I was surprised how well it worked out when I used it on an actual team.

Answer 4

Double/Triple Battle

Noctowl (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Tinted Lens
EVs: 252 Def / 76 SAtk / 180 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Reflect
- Round
- Air Slash
- Psych Up

Still like Noctowl. It has nice bulk and performs quite well in the lower tiers. Air Slash gets STAB and can hit any foe. Round gets STAB and becomes more powerful if other Pokemon use it. These moves are resisted by quite a few Pokemon, which is where Tinted Lens comes in. Reflect provides team support. Psych Up can be used to gain Special Attack. I know, risky, but you have another Pokemon with a boost, so that should distract. And Noctowl has bulk, so it might be able to pull it off. I'd use it with a Follow Me Clefable (who can also use Round.)

Anyone else think that the Headmaster Gaepora in Skyward Sword looks like an Owl? and even has the same Eyebrows as Noctowl? He even goes "hooo hooo", and his name sounds like the last name of the owl in Ocarina of time Gaebora. Magic-coat reflects entry hazards, status, Etc. Night-shade is for reliable damage. Toxic is for stalling. Roost would be for healing, but you could use Protect for stalling as well, I prefer Roost.
