Ho-Oh is based on the {{wp|Huma bird}}, a legendary bird that is said to never rest, living its entire life flying continuously, and resurrects itself and others in its own ashes and flames. It is a symbol of fortune and friendship and will bestow happiness to anyone who simply glimpses it. Ho-Oh, like {{p|Moltres}}, is also based on the legend of the {{wp|Phoenix}}; unlike Moltres, it is based more on the {{wp|Fenghuang}}, the immortal phoenix of China. Many cultures view the Phoenix and Huma as symbols 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}}. It may also be based on many other {{wp|firebird}}s; some examples are the {{wp|Yatagarasu|Three-legged bird}}, {{wp|Simurgh}}, and the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Ember Bird}}. It also is similar to the rainbow-feathered bird god {{wp|Achiyalabopa}}. | Ho-Oh is based on the {{wp|Huma bird}}, a legendary bird that is said to never rest, living its entire life flying continuously, and resurrects itself and others in its own ashes and flames.
