Ho-Oh, like {{p|Moltres}}, is based on the legend of the {{wp|Phoenix}}; unlike Moltres, it is based on the Fènghuáng (the immortal phoenix of China). Many cultures view the Phoenix as a symbol of resurrection; this is seen in Ho-Oh, which was reborn rising from [[Sacred Ash|its own ashes]] and had a hand in resurrecting {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}.

On another note, the colors it bears are somewhat similar to a {{wp|Scarlet Macaw}} or {{wp|adarna}}, a mythological Filipino bird that is said to sing seven songs. Every time that the Adarna finishes a song, it defecates and turns to stone whomever it may land on. Its feathers change to a more beautiful shade, becoming more colorful and shiny just the same as Ho-Oh.
