Introduced in Generation II, it is a dual Fire/Flying type Pokémon and is the master of the legendary beasts Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, which it is said to have resurrected from the burned-down Brass Tower. Ho-Oh is characterized by its magnificent, rainbow-colored wings and golden feathers, which shimmer with seven colors depending on the angle of light. It is said to fly across the world continuously, leaving a rainbow behind it. Its presence is believed to bring happiness and good fortune to those who see it. In the games, Ho-Oh is the mascot of Pokémon Gold Version, residing at the top of the Bell Tower (Tin Tower in earlier games) in Ecruteak City. In the anime, it was the very first legendary Pokémon Ash Ketchum ever saw, appearing in the first episode, signaling a profound connection to his journey. Ho-Oh's majestic appearance and benevolent lore have cemented its place as one of the most iconic and beloved legendary Pokémon.
