Everything we know about Ho-oh Ho-oh made its first appearance in Pokémon Gold and Silver. Alongside Lugia, Ho-oh is one of the first legendary Pokémon to be used as a mascot for a mainline Pokémon game, featuring on the box art for Pokémon Gold. Ho-oh is also one of the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught in all the mainline games that belong to its generation. It can be found at the top of the Tin Tower, renamed the Bell Tower in Pokémon Heartgold and Soulsilver, in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal. This legendary Pokémon has a clear resemblance to a phoenix and this inspiration carries over into Ho-oh's own mythology as a part of the Tower duo. It's believed that Ho-oh has been reborn multiple times from its own ashes and, after the destruction of the Brass Tower, Ho-oh used its powers to create the legendary beasts - Entei, Raikou and Suicune. This action, in turn, made it the trio master for the legendary beasts.
