Ho OhHeartgold Soulsilver Promos #HGSS01 Pokémon Card

Ho-Oh is a majestic Fire/Flying-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation II, revered as the guardian of the skies and the bringer of rainbows. Its name is derived from "phoenix," reflecting its ability to resurrect the dead and its association with fire. According to legend, Ho-Oh flies across the world on its seven-colored wings, leaving a rainbow behind it. It is said to grant eternal happiness to those who witness its flight. Ho-Oh is also famously linked to the creation of the Legendary beasts Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, which it resurrected from the burned Ecruteak City's Brass Tower. In the games, Ho-Oh is the mascot of Pokémon Gold Version and HeartGold Version. In the anime, it was the very first Legendary Pokémon Ash Ketchum ever saw, appearing in the first episode, a significant moment that foreshadowed his journey. Its presence often symbolizes hope, rebirth, and a connection to ancient myths, making it a deeply culturally significant Pokémon within the franchise. Its vibrant appearance and profound lore contribute to its status as one of the most iconic Legendary Pokémon.
