Creation Of The Legends
While Lugia was shown to be the leader of generation 1’s bird trio, Ho-Oh is said to have created the 3 legendary dogs after Tin Tower was burned to the ground. It was then when the group went missing for a very long time, eventually only showing themselves in times of great need.
It’s in the 6th episode of Pokémon: Generations that we see the reason that they fled. After seeing the power Ho-Oh has over life and death the townspeople feared the beasts and began to revolt, causing all 4 of the legendaries to depart swiftly.

The First Gen Ii Pokmon In The Anime
One distinction that Ho-Oh has is that it was the first Gen II Pokémon to make it into the anime. It was first shown at the end of the series first episode and could not be identified by with the Pokédex.
This was a pretty huge occurrence at the time, as it was the first sign in the anime that the series would expand passed the original 151 Pokémon introduced in Gen I. If you count out the opening sequence, then Ho-Oh is actually the first ever legendary to appear in an episode and no one even knew what it was. Crazy.
Pokmon Mystery Dungeon Series
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, after completing the storyline and exploring Solar Cave, Spinda may appear in town. Spinda will give the player the Clear Wing , beginning The Mystery of the Mirage Pokémon.
The player must then talk to Xatu at the Great Canyon, who will explain what the player must do next. After defeating Entei at Fiery Field, Entei will turn the Clear Wing into the Red Wing , and send the player to Lightning Field.
After defeating Raikou there, Raikou will turn the Red Wing into the Sunset Wing and send the player to Northwind Field.
After defeating Suicune here, Suicune will turn the Sunset Wing into the Rainbow Wing and send the player off to Mt. Faraway. Here, due to the power of the Rainbow Wing, the player can encounter, battle, and recruitHo-Oh.
None of these items show up in the Toolbox.

Raikou Didn’t Stick Around Long Enough To Be Caught
Unlike the other two legendary dogs, Raikou hasn’t seen nearly as much screentime. It is seen briefly in Pokémon: I Choose You!, as Ash, Sorrel, and Verity encountered it on Mount Tensei after meeting Entei and Suicune earlier. True to the nature of the legendary dogs, Raikou does not stick around for long, quickly disappearing after giving the protagonists a few seconds to admire it. Ash didn’t react quickly enough to even consider catching it.
Everything We Know About Ho
Ho-oh made its first appearance in Pokémon Gold and Silver. Alongside Lugia, Ho-oh is one of the first legendary Pokémon to be used as a mascot for a mainline Pokémon game, featuring on the box art for Pokémon Gold.
Ho-oh is also one of the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught in all the mainline games that belong to its generation. It can be found at the top of the Tin Tower, renamed the Bell Tower in Pokémon Heartgold and Soulsilver, in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal.
This legendary Pokémon has a clear resemblance to a phoenix and this inspiration carries over into Ho-oh’s own mythology as a part of the Tower duo.
It’s believed that Ho-oh has been reborn multiple times from its own ashes and, after the destruction of the Brass Tower, Ho-oh used its powers to create the legendary beasts – Entei, Raikou and Suicune. This action, in turn, made it the trio master for the legendary beasts.

Pokmon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team
When a Poké Ball is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:
- Unlock all 25 characters
- Beat all 51 events
- Unlock the score display
It does not affect the battle, but the thrower of the Poké Ball will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.
Trophy information
“Celebi has the power to travel through time, and thus wanders from one age to the next. It is considered a deity by the forests: plants and trees are said to grow in unimaginable abundance wherever Celebi visits. Like Mew, Celebi is a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. Its special techniques blend grass and psychic powers.”
When a Poké Ball is thrown, there is a 1 in 493 chance of Celebi appearing. Like the other “secret” Pokémon, it drops collectible items; in Celebi’s case, it drops trophies.
Trophy information
“A Time Travel Pokémon. Celebi can travel throughout time and inhabit multiple places simultaneously. It is said that it appears only during times of peace, greeted by a flourishing of grass and trees. Two turns after Celebi uses its Future Sight move, the foe is bombarded with psychic energy. This proves to have a devastating impact on any Pokémon.”
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS
Celebi appears as a trophy in the 3DS version only.
Trophy information
Celebi appears as a Spirit.
Mewtwo Shadow Ball Or Psystrike
Mewtwo is a Legendary Psychic Type Pokemon with a max CP of 4724 at Level 50. Hailing from the Kanto region , Mewtwo is considered to be the best Psychic Type Pokemon while also being lauded for its insane high CP. Mewtwo not only boasts of having one of the highest Attack stat in game, but is was also the first Pokemon to break the 4k CP cap. While rapid-fire Psystrike allows it not only to deplete shields rapidly but also reach insane damage levels, Shadow Ball makes Mewtwo one of the best Ghost-type attacker in game. Currently crowned as the best Psychic-type attacker in Pokemon Go, Mewtwo also has a diverse movepool- ranging from Fire to Ice and even Electric and Fighting.
Dialga Can Control Time To Its Will
Dialga is the powerful sibling to Palkia and where Palkia controls space, Dialga is able to manipulate time. Dialga can freeze time, slow it down, or speed it up to decimate its foes, which is a bad way to go out all things considered. Dialga is such a powerful Pokémon that its roar alone can distort the fabric of time.
Move Tutor In Crystal Version
I looked up Ho-oh in the Library at Earl’s Pokémon Academy on Pokémon Stadium 2, and it says that Ho-oh can learn Flamethrower and Thunderbolt from the Move Tutor in Crystal. Is there any way of putting this in the article? Superbreeder 21:20, 13 October 2008
- That is already on Ho-Oh’s Gen II learnset. That learnset can be found here.- Kogoro|Talk to me| 21:22, 13 October 2008
Okay, at least it’s somewhere on BP. But why are’nt the Generation II moves that Pokémon used to learn but don’t anymore get included in the articles? If they were, it could be noted elsewhere. Superbreeder 00:13, 15 October 2008
Zekrom/reshiram Can Warp The Planets Atmosphere
The Unova region of the Pokémon games plays around with some powerful dragon Pokémon and Zekrom and Reshiram are sibling dragons that comprise the majority of the area’s “Tao Trio.” Think Generation 1’s legendary trio, but this time they’re dragons instead of birds. Zekrom is a master of lightning and Reshiram controls fire. However, they’re so strong that their skills irrevocably change the atmosphere and physics of the planet. They’re more doomsday weapons than Pokémon.
What Are The Best Counters For Ho
As a Fire and Flying type, Ho-Oh takes double damage from Electric and Water, and it takes quad damage from Rock. It has a very wide range of move types including Fire, Flying, Grass, Psychic, Steel, and Fighting. However, a lot has changed since the last time the Rainbow Pokémon featured in Raids. With the introduction of Mega Evolution and the rebalance of Shadow Pokémon, there are a number of solid strategies for taking out this Legendary Pokémon.
Inspiration In A Myth
While Ho-Oh is so clearly a bird of some sort, its exact inspiration was never pinpointed. With characteristics from the Peacock and its eagle-like wingspan, most concluded it was a mix of many different bird species.
However, the mythological Fenghuang from Chinese culture has shown the closest resemblance. With the Japanese name being as obvious as it gets, H-, the king of all birds birthed the mystical Pokémon players have loved for so many years.
Pokmon Gotta Catch ’em All
Ho-Oh appeared in GDZ65.
When released from a Poké Ball, Ho-Oh unleashes a spiral of Sacred Fire that deals massive amounts of damage to any opponent caught in it. However, it appears very rarely.
Melee trophy information
As it soars around the skies of the world, this Rainbow Pokemon leaves a trail of rainbows and myths in its wake. Its signature move is called Sacred Fire, and it is believed to appear only before trainers who are pure of heart. If you see a trainer with Ho-oh, you can assume that catching it took a lot of work.
Brawl trophy information
“A Rainbow Pokémon. On sparkling wings of seven colors, Ho-Oh leaves a rainbow behind as it flies. Legend says that Ho-Oh suppressed a war that scorched the land in ancient times. Its attack Sacred Fire can melt ice in an instant and also damage the target with burns. Ho-Oh will show its solemn figure only for the most righteous Trainers.”

Rayquaza Controls The Ozone And The Skies
There are plenty of powerful legendary dragon Pokémon that are out there, but Rayquaza makes its mark by how it has mastery over the planet’s ozone and atmosphere. The Pokémon spends most of its time in the higher atmosphere of the planet and has no trouble up in space, either. The Pokémon has also made its way into the Super Smash Bros. franchise in a significant way.
Necrozma Is Pure Unbridled Energy
Necrozma comes from Generation 7 of the Pokémon games and he’s a champion of light energy. While the Pokémon doesn’t conventionally evolve, it can fuse with other Pokémon to take on three powerful forms. Ultra Necrozma is seen as Necrozma’s true form and in this state the Pokémon is basically pure light energy. It generates a temperature of over 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit and anything that touches it will melt. Plus, it can launch out laser beams that are over 18 miles long.
Celebis Powers Make It Essentially Immortal
The Pokémon franchise peaked somewhat early with the strength of some of its legendaries. Celebi may not look like the most powerful or aggressive Pokémon, but it has the ability to not only travel through time, but also revive itself from any point in a given timeline. In this respect, Celebi is basically immortal and so even though it can be defeated by stronger foes, it will always come back.
Palkia Is The Ruler Of Space Itself
It’s one thing when legendary Pokémon control the elements that comprise the planet, but when it comes to Pokémon like Palkia and Dialga, they go even beyond the planet and control things like space and time. In Pokémon’s lore, Palkia is seen as the ruler and creator of the very fabric of space itself. It can even alter and warp space as it sees fit.
Kyogre Master League Pvp
Kyogre is a Legendary Water Type Pokemon with a max CP of 4652 at Level 50. Hailing from the Hoenn region , Kyogre tops the chart as one of the best Water Type Pokemon in Go Battle Master League due to its insane Max CP and a very good overall stat. While, most other Pokemon have always been in and out of the META in the Go Battle League, Kyogre is only one of the few Pokemon to have consistently stayed close to top. All this, without any exclusive move whatsoever.
So, if Kyogre doesnt have any exclusive moves, why bother Lucky Trade it? Well, simply because Kyogre has a lot of room to power it up due to its insanely high Max CP, which crosses the 4000 mark. The benefit here which trainers might look forward to gain is the reduced Stardust cost while powering it up, and maintaining a really decent IV mark even if its a Shiny Kyogre. So, if your PvP team lacks a great Water-Type Pokemon, Kyogre is one of your best shot!
Mewtwo Distrusted Humans & Erased Ash’s Memories
Mewtwo distrusts humans the most, and for good reason. After his creation, Mewtwo was tricked into working as Giovanni’s weapon. Angered by the fact that he was being used and the fact that he was just a clone of Mew, he created an army of clones free from the slavery that captured Pokemon experienced. Although he saw the good in people in the events of Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back, he still chose to erase the memories of the humans he came into contact with, including Ash, feeling he and his comrades would be safer that way.
Volcanion Had A Device That Dragged Ash Around
In Pokémon: Volcanion and The Mechanical Marvel, Ash has no opportunity to capture the legendary Pokémon for half of the movie. This is because of the devices on Volcanion’s leg and around Ash’s waist. Whenever they are a certain distance apart, Ash is forcefully propelled to the other device, meaning that the legendary Pokémon was literally dragging the trainer with him where ever he went. Volcanion is also one of the few Pokémon that can speak the human language, and he spends most of his time voicing his distrust towards humans.
Latias & Latios Need To Remain Uncaptured To Protect Their City
Both Latias and Latios were guardians of Alto Mare City, who would protect the city if it was ever in danger. Latias appears in front of Ash in Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias disguised as a girl, so his first instinct wasn’t to assume that she was a Pokémon. Ash helps the legendary Pokémon when they are pursued by members of Team Rocket, but he doesn’t catch them because of their role as guardians. Unfortunately, Latios also gives its life in protecting the city.
The Sacred Fire Persists
Sacred Fire has been most commonly known to be Ho-Oh’s exclusive and most powerful move. However, it seems that just about any flame the legend produces is considered sacred. After its shrine was destroyed in the anime, Ho-Oh then burns the ground surrounding so that new life can grow.
Always the considerate and seemingly unlucky with real estate, Ho-Oh then leaves once again. A single flame was left burning form the ordeal and it is now a preserved artifact that they use to announce the Johto Silver League Conference.
How Many Players Does It Take To Beat Ho
Ho-Oh Raids are highly dependent on Ho-Oh’s moveset. Most of the good counters are weak to Solar Beam, and even when not weak to it, this move hits very hard. If you’re going up against a Solar Beam Ho-Oh, you will probably need a larger group. Still, with the best counters, high level Trainers can duo this Raid. If you are lacking the best counters or are a lower level, you’ll want at least four players.
The following Weather conditions can impact this Raid:
- Sunny/Clear Weather will boost Ho-Oh’s Fire and Grass type moves.
- Windy Weather will boost its Flying and Psychic type moves.
- Cloudy Weather will boost its Fighting type attack.
- Snow will boost its Steel type attack.
- Partly Cloudy Weather will boost your Rock type counters.
- Rain will boost you Water and Electric type counters.
How To Get Ho Oh In Pokemon Go
In five-star raids, Ho-Oh can be found. These only happen at specific times and within the confines of a gym. It is recommended that at least five players, if not more, be present. It is possible to solo a five-star raid with fewer people if you have a professional squad, but it is nearly impossible.
