In-Depth Analysis
Ho-Oh's 680 base stat total marks it as a high-end Pokémon with strong numbers across the board. Special Defense (154) carries most matchups, but a low Defense stat of 90 means careful positioning matters.
Its Fire, Flying typing leaves Ho-Oh with 3 weaknesses against 6 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for Rock moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 5 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Ho-Oh a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
