Ho Oh ExDragons Exalted #119 Pokémon Card

Ho-Oh is a legendary Rainbow Pokémon, a majestic avian creature revered as the guardian of the skies and a bringer of happiness. Introduced in Generation II with the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Ho-Oh is unique as it does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon. It is said to fly across the world on its magnificent seven-colored wings, leaving a rainbow behind it, and is believed to bring joy to those who witness its splendor. Ho-Oh has the power to resurrect the dead, a feat famously demonstrated by its revival of three Pokémon that perished in the burning Brass Tower, transforming them into the Legendary Beasts: Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Its natural habitat is high in the sky, often near sacred places, and its diet is believed to consist of spiritual energy or perhaps nothing at all, given its legendary status. In the games, Ho-Oh often serves as a version mascot and a powerful endgame encounter, while in the anime, it made an early and significant appearance in the very first episode, sparking Ash's journey. Ho-Oh is primarily a Fire/Flying type, giving it resistances to Grass, Fighting, Bug, Steel, and Fairy, while being weak to Rock, Water, and Electric types. Its cultural significance lies in its symbolism of rebirth, hope, and new beginnings.
