Ethan's Ho-Oh exDestined Rivals #209 Pokémon Card

Ho-Oh, the Rainbow Pokémon, is a majestic Fire/Flying-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation II with the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Known as the guardian of the skies, Ho-Oh is said to fly continuously across the world's skies on its magnificent seven-colored wings, leaving behind a rainbow wherever it goes. Legend has it that Ho-Oh’s presence brings happiness to those who see it, and it has the power to resurrect the dead, a feat it accomplished by reviving three Pokémon from the Burned Tower, who then became the Legendary beasts Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Its natural habitat is high in the sky, often seen soaring above regions like Johto. In the games, Ho-Oh is typically a version exclusive legendary, serving as the mascot for Pokémon Gold and HeartGold. In the anime, it made an early and significant appearance in the very first episode, flying over Ash Ketchum, sparking his journey and making it one of the most iconic and recognizable Legendary Pokémon. Its vibrant design and mythical status have cemented its place as a fan favorite and a symbol of hope and new beginnings within the Pokémon universe.
