Ho OhCall of Legends #9 Pokémon Card

Ho-Oh is a legendary Fire/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, serving as the mascot for Pokémon Gold Version. Known as the "Rainbow Pokémon," Ho-Oh is said to fly across the world's skies continuously on its magnificent, seven-colored wings, leaving a rainbow behind it. According to legend, Ho-Oh brought the three Legendary Beasts—Raikou, Entei, and Suicune—back to life after the Brass Tower burned down in Ecruteak City. Its natural habitat is high in the sky, often seen near rainbows or sacred places. Ho-Oh is primarily a benevolent figure, symbolizing hope and new beginnings. In the anime, it was the first legendary Pokémon Ash Ketchum ever saw, appearing in the very first episode, which solidified its iconic status early on. Its unique typing gives it a distinct set of type matchups, being strong against Grass, Bug, Ice, and Fighting, but vulnerable to Rock, Electric, and Water. Ho-Oh's cultural significance extends beyond the games and anime, often appearing in merchandise and promotional art, representing the vibrant and mystical aspects of the Pokémon world. Its distinct design, featuring vibrant red, gold, and green plumage, makes it instantly recognizable and a fan favorite.
