Ho-Oh (ホウオウ Houou) is a Fire/Flying-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It was the mascot of Gold and appeared again in the remake, HeartGold
Contents |
[edit] Naming
Its English name is simply another way of transcribing 鳳凰 Hōō, the Japanese word for phoenix.
[edit] Biological characteristics
Ho-Oh is based on the legendary phoenix. Many cultures worldwide hold the phoenix as a symbol of resurrection and reincarnation. A Ho-Oh epitomizes this belief, as it was reborn rising from its own ashes. It also used its powers to give new life to the Raikou, the Entei, and the Suicune, after they perished in Ecruteak City's Burned Tower. It is said that wherever a Ho-Oh flies, a rainbow appears.
[edit] Power and Abilities
Ho-oh, based on the pheonix, is a vastly powerful Flying-type Pokemon. It can revive any Pokemon, it is also fast, and has the devastating Fire-type attack, the Sacred Fire.
It also holds an item, Sacred Ash, which is a portable Pokemon Center, reviving all fainted Pokemon in your party to full HP.

[edit] Trivia
- Although a Second-Generation pokemon, it appears in the very first episode of the anime. That episode was in the first season, which involved only generation 1 pokemon.
- It's possible that Ho-Oh was originally going to appear in Blue and Red as the king of bird Pokemon, but couldn't due to space.
