Ho-Oh is a legendary Fire/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, known for its majestic rainbow-colored wings and its ability to resurrect the dead. It is said to fly across the world continuously on its seven-colored wings, leaving a rainbow behind it. According to legend, Ho-Oh’s presence brings happiness and good fortune, and it is the guardian of the skies. This magnificent bird is also believed to have created the legendary beasts Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, transforming three Pokémon that perished in a fire at the Brass Tower. Ho-Oh has no evolutionary line but is often paired with Lugia as one of the Tower Duo, representing the sun and the moon respectively. In the games, Ho-Oh is typically a version exclusive, serving as a powerful and highly sought-after legendary encounter. Its prominent role in the anime, particularly in the first episode where Ash sees it, cemented its iconic status and cultural significance as a symbol of hope and new beginnings within the Pokémon universe. Its unique typing gives it interesting matchups, being strong against Grass, Bug, Ice, and Fighting types, but vulnerable to Rock, Water, and Electric attacks.
