Ho-Oh (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Lugia}} as a [[Tower duo|duo]], even sometimes as its polar opposite. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

''"A Rainbow Pokémon. On sparkling wings of seven colors, Ho-Oh leaves a rainbow behind as it flies. Legend says that Ho-Oh suppressed a war that scorched the land in ancient times.

* Ho-Oh's English name is a {{wp|palindrome}}; it shares this distinction with {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Alomomola}}.

* Ho-Oh has the highest {{stat|Special Defense}} base stat of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and is tied with {{p|Lugia}} for the highest Special Defense base stat of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.

** However, in the opening of The Johto Journeys, there is a brief scene of the two facing off in the sky, and the first preview for [[M13]] featured the two fighting despite neither of them appearing in the movie.

* So far, Ho-Oh is the only Legendary [[Generation II]] Pokémon to have never appeared in any movie (only in introductions and as a disguise used by {{OBP|Mew|M08}}).

* Ho-Oh's Hidden Ability {{a|Regenerator}} reflects a {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix}}'s ability to be reborn from its ashes.
