It was first introduced in Generation II with the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver. According to Pokédex lore, Ho-Oh’s feathers shimmer in seven colors depending on the angle, and it leaves a rainbow behind it as it flies. It is said that those who see Ho-Oh are promised eternal happiness. Ho-Oh is also credited with resurrecting three Pokémon from the Brass Tower fire, transforming them into the legendary beasts Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Its natural habitat is typically high above the clouds, soaring across the skies, though it is rarely seen by humans. Ho-Oh's diet is not explicitly detailed, but as a legendary Pokémon, it likely sustains itself on ambient energy or is simply beyond the need for conventional sustenance. In the games, Ho-Oh is a guardian of the Johto region and often serves as a powerful, end-game legendary encounter. In the anime, it made a significant appearance in the very first episode, flying over Ash, setting the stage for his journey and becoming a recurring symbol throughout the series. Culturally, Ho-Oh represents hope, rebirth, and the beauty of nature's cycles, making it one of the most beloved and iconic legendary Pokémon.
