What is Noctowl's nature?

With Sky Attack, you leave yourself open to a switch to an electric type (or a pokemon with an electric type move). Get rid of Dream Eater, it is way too unreliable, no one in their right mind will stay in asleep. Here's a few options:
Noctowl @ Wide Lens
Nature: Modest (+ Sp.Atk, -Atk)
EVs: You probably don't understand these....
- Hypnosis
- Psychic
- Air Slash
- Roost/Shadow Ball
Firstly, Wide Lens will improve the Accuracy of all moves, meaning it is much easier now to land a Hypnosis first time. If you want to, Roost is great for helping Noctowl to survive a bit more. However, if you want to attack, you have an extra move to cover more pokemon. Granted, you don't hit many more types well, but at least you can hit some.
Other options: Agility, Silver Wind.
Agility could be used, because it makes Noctowl able to outrun a fair few pokemon that will come in to destroy it. A bit pointless in my books since they'll probably KO Noctowl anyways, but with enough Sp. Attack, you can do some decent damage.
Silver Wind in place of Shadow Ball makes sure that you actually can land something good against Tyranitar, who will laugh at your efforts otherwise. Hit's others, but Air Slash and Psychic will mainly cover those flanks anyway, and Shadow Ball hit's harder anyway.
You're best bet with this pokemon is to Hypnotise, then beat the living hell out with attacks, if they switch to something that'll beat down on Noctowl, you switch out too.

Storm Wolf's moveset is good. Titan-D, yours is alright, but don't use Hyperbeam or Mind Plate and use Psychic over Extrasensory (I think it can get it).

To get Sky Attack, breed a Noctowl without (TM moves) with a male pokemon that has Sky Attack.
Sorry, the male has to have no other hereditary moves apart from Sky Attack, my bad :paranoid:

Storm Wolf's moveset is good.
I guess my time rating R/S/E/LG/FR teams, and adapting my meagre knowledge of D/P moves and items is paying off. :)
Flygon, I think the set that I have, with preference options that you may wish to incorporate (the ones I included), may be of good use to you. With Cheese Warrior backing me up on this, by all means, use it.
