Ho-Oh is treated as a "legendary" Poké Ball Pokémon; its chance of appearing is much rarer than most of the others, and in return its effect is more powerful. Ho-Oh uses its signature move from the RPGs, Sacred Fire. Ho-Oh will fly up into the air and to the back of the screen when it's summoned. Once Ho-Oh starts flying upwards, any character other than the summoner that makes contact with it will take 13% damage and decent knockback. Ho-Oh will then release a column of fire. Characters other than the summoner that are caught in the column of fire take massive damage (up to 125%), and it is quite difficult to escape from it.

The attack occurs a full seven seconds after Ho-Oh's release, making it the longest delay for a Pokémon attack. Ho-Oh covers a very large attack area, although the heavy delay and predictability of the attack's location (it always appears where Ho-Oh was released) makes it relatively easy to avoid, although the summoner can try to make sure that his or her opponents will be in that particular spot when the attack actually occurs.

Ho-Oh (ホウオウ, Houou) is a creature from the Pokémon series.

Origin[edit]

Ho-Oh's official artwork from Pokémon Gold and Silver.

Ho-Oh was first teased in the first episode of the Pokémon anime, Pokémon - I Choose You! where it was seen flying over Ash Ketchum after he was tormented by Spearow; the episode was released three years before Gold and Silver came out. Ho-Oh is a Fire/Flying-type Legendary Pokémon and the version mascot of Pokémon Gold and Pokémon HeartGold. Ho-Oh is categorized within the Pokédex at #250 as the "Rainbow Pokémon".

Sacred Fire is a Physical Fire-type move with 100 base power, 95% accuracy and a 50% chance to inflict the Burn status on the target. It was originally Ho-Oh's signature move, meaning it was the only one that could learn it naturally before Generation VI, when it was also added to Entei's movepool. In terms of stats, Ho-Oh has high Special Defense and Attack, but only has average Speed and Defense.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]

Ho-Oh in Melee.
Ho-Oh performing Sacred Fire

Ho-Oh is treated as a "legendary" Poké Ball Pokémon; its chance of appearing is much rarer than most of the others, and in return, its effect is more powerful. Ho-Oh uses its signature move from the RPGs, Sacred Fire. Ho-Oh will fly up into the air and to the back of the screen when it's summoned. Once Ho-Oh starts flying upwards, any character other than the summoner that makes contact with it will take 13% damage and decent knockback. Ho-Oh will then release a large column of fire. Characters other than the summoner that are caught in the column of fire take a staggering amount of damage (up to 91%), and it is quite difficult to escape from it.

The attack occurs a full seven seconds after Ho-Oh's release, making it the longest delay for a Pokémon attack. Ho-Oh covers a very large attack area, although the heavy delay and predictability of the attack's location (it always appears where Ho-Oh was released) make it relatively easy to avoid, although the summoner can try to make sure that their opponents will be in that particular spot when the attack actually occurs. It has next to no knockback and is not able to KO, while Ho-Oh's body only KOs at very high percents (around 200%).

Trophy[edit]

Ho-Oh appears as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the trophies that can be collected randomly in the Trophy Lottery, though it only appears once all characters have been unlocked. It uses the capitalization "Ho-oh", as the "Ho-Oh" capitalization didn't appear until Generation III.
