Location: Bell Tower
This Pokemon is mostly a Tank. With its dual type setup of Flying/Fire, it has the power to use both special and physical attacks. Its main attack, Sacred Fire has a base of 100 attack power with 95 accuracy. Its main weaknesses are Rock (x4), Electric (x2) and Water (x2). Overall, for an Uber tier Pokemon, it is fairly balanced.
Suggested Move Set Up:
Sacred Bird
Sacred Fire
Earthquake
Brave Bird
Punishment
Item used: Choice Band
Ev Spread: 4HP/252 ATK/ 252 Speed
Nature: Adamant or Jolly
Reason for this set up:
Sacred fire is an amazing fire type move and it is best used with the sun up. It has a 50% burn so it is extremely hard to switch into, as no one wants to take a burn. Brave Bird is an amazing STAB move because of its high power, athough the recoil might not let you use it to often. Earthquake is a move to use in conjunction with Sacred Fire (it provides coverage for Ho-Oh). Punishment is there for the Calm mind users like Mewtwo, Latios and Latias. You can have Adamant or Jolly nature so pick your poison.

Random Trivia bits
Ho-Oh is one of the 8 Pokemon that have non alphabetical characters in their names. The others are Porygon-Z, Porygon2, Nidoran( Male and Female), Farfetch’d, Mr. Mime, and Mime.Jr
Ho-Oh’s name is a palindrome, much like the English names for Eevee and Girafarig
Ho-Oh’s Pokémon Pearl/Diamond/Platinum Sprite is shown as a slight orange. This was corrected in Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
I wasted three minutes of my life reading this. Really, next time you want to do something like this, bring a little originality to the table and don’t copy paste Bulbapedia and Serebii.
Seriously Pwnemon.
He has a point.
Pretty good point too.
DELICIOUS COPYPASTA IS DELICIOUS.
Just watch when Trog’s comes out you guys are going to say his is the best not mine.
I can pretty much bet we will because his isn’t one hundred percent copy and paste.
Plus, he won’t have incorrect info on his either. You catch Hp-oh at level 45, not 40. How you can copy paste and mess up the facts is beyond me.
Sacred Bird isn’t a move…If that is supposed to be the set’s name, it could be in bold or maybe it could have quotation marks.
