According to the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], Ho-Oh lived in [[Tin Tower]] in ancient times. But when war broke out, burning Tin Tower and Brass Tower down, it created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, and all four disappeared. Later, a new Tin Tower was erected, but Ho-Oh since then has never come back for sure. Also, a sacred flame burns in [[Dragon's Den]] which came from Ho-Oh in the same ancient war that burned Tin Tower; it still burns today, protected in a shrine.

Ho-Oh (Japanese: ホウオウ Houou) is a dual-type Fire/Flying Pokémon. It is often considered to be closely related to Lugia, even sometimes as its polar opposite, represented by gold as Lugia is represented by silver, and "guardian of the skies" as Lugia is "guardian of the seas". It is a Legendary Pokémon and is said to glow in seven colors. It is the master of the legendary beasts.

Ho-Oh comes with the ability Pressure, which causes the foe to use two PP instead of one each time it uses a move.

Ho-Oh is the version mascot of Pokémon Gold, appearing on the boxart.

Biology

It can be speculated that Ho-Oh can breed in the Pokémon anime because its unofficial polar opposite (Lugia) can.

==Physiology==

Ho-Oh is a phoenix-like bird with red being its dominant color. Ho-Oh also has yellow tail-feathers, a white underside, and green feathers at the tip of its wings. Ho-Oh has a green stripe on its neck, a yellow beak, black rings around its eye and a peacock's feather-crest.

Gender differences

Ho-Oh is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Ho-Oh's wings are prismatic, causing it to trail a rainbow behind it. Ho-Oh can reincarnate the dead, which it did to create Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Ho-Oh mostly has power over Fire, but it can control other elements (with the exception of Water).

Ho-Oh is the only known Pokémon that learns Sacred Fire.

In the anime

File:Ho-Oh anime.PNG
Ho-Oh in the anime

Ho-Oh appeared at the end of the first episode, flying across the sky, which had a rainbow. The Pokédex was unable to identify it. It was also the first Generation II Pokémon ever seen.

According to the anime, Ho-Oh lived in Tin Tower in ancient times. But when war broke out, burning Tin Tower and Brass Tower down, it created Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, and all four disappeared. Later, a new Tin Tower was erected, but Ho-Oh since then has never come back for sure. Also, a sacred flame burns in Dragon's Den which came from Ho-Oh in the same ancient war that burned Tin Tower; it still burns today, protected in a shrine.

After competing in the Silver Conference, Ash saw Ho-Oh flying towards Hoenn.

Ho-Oh was most recently seen by Ash flying into the sunset at the end of Battling the Enemy Within.

In the eighth movie, Mew transforms into Ho-Oh.

In the manga

In Pokémon Special, Ho-Oh was used by Pryce to kidnap children in his plans to capture Celebi, including Blue and Silver, five years prior to the start of the entire manga. Prior to the events of the GSC saga, Pryce had lost his control over Ho-Oh, and thus attacked Tin Tower using Team Rocket to prompt Ho-Oh to return to Ecruteak City. Ho-Oh was later seen at Indigo Plateau under Pryce's control, alongside Lugia, wreaking havoc and destruction.

Trivia

  • Ho-Oh is one of the three legendary Pokémon whose location changed between generations.
  • Ho-Oh's name is a palindrome.
  • Ho-Oh's Generation IV sprite is similar to its Generation III sprite, except being bigger.
  • Ho-Oh bears some resemblance to Dyna Blade from Nintendo's Kirby series.
  • Ho-Oh's cry is the same as Tyrogue's only deeper pitched.

Origin

Ho-Oh, like Moltres, is based on the legend of the Phoenix; unlike Moltres, it is based on the Fènghuáng (the immortal pheonix of China). Many cultures view the Phoenix as a symbol of resurrection; this is seen in Ho-Oh, which was reborn rising from its own ashes and had a hand in resurrecting Suicune, Raikou and Entei.

Name origin

Its English name is simply another way of transcribing 鳳凰 Hōō, which is the Japanese word for phoenix, specifically, the Chinese phoenix, or Fènghuáng.
