PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Incinerate is the best fast move available due to STAB.

  • Extrasensory is improvefor effectiveness vs. Fighting-types specifically.

  • Hidden Power is only viable if it is Flying type. Otherwise, Incinerate or even Extrasensory are ameliorate options.

  • Steel Wing is generally useless.

  • Sacred Fire++ is exclusive to Apex Purified Ho-Oh, and makes Ho-Oh a competent Fire-blazon attacker. Still, Ho-Oh'southward performance drops when it is purified.

  • For all other Ho-Oh, Sacred Fire remains the best Fire-type accuse move at its disposal. However, its performance is rather lacking.

  • Brave Bird is the all-time charge move available, and benefits from STAB.

  • Fire Boomis much slower and doesn't perform as well, except against Ice or Steel-types. It is also outclassed by Sacred Fire.

  • Convulsionis a flake of an awkward move on attack for Ho-oh and doesn't do much for it.

PVE Overview

Even after years since its release, and with Sacred Burn down beingness introduced into the game, Ho-Oh remains just disappointingly adequate in raid viability. Its strong stats and resistances allow it to be used in many raids, only it is often outclassed by many other Burn down-blazon options. Sacred Fire's parameters are nothing to write domicile about, being not much ameliorate than the existing Fire Smash. Ho-Oh is best used against Grass- and Bug- type raid bosses, as they are weak to both Incinerate and Brave Bird, its best attacks. Additionally, if you are lucky with the Hidden Ability roulette, Ho-Oh is actually a adequately competent Flying-type assailant. However, bosses where Flight is optimal is rather scarce.

For those who bought the GO Tour: Johto ticket, Noon Shadow Ho-Oh will be available as ane of the rewards in the Masterwork Enquiry. Information technology comes with the exclusive move Sacred Burn+, and said move becomes Sacred Burn++ when Ho-Oh is purified. With this move, Noon Purified Ho-Oh becomes a competent Fire-type attacker, with a performance surpassing Moltres. However, purifying Apex Shadow Ho-Oh results in a pregnant subtract in DPS despite the motility's upgrade. Equally Noon Shadow Ho-Oh is 1 of the best Burn down-type attackers in the game, and players will simply receive one, purifying it is not recommended.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Incinerate + Brave Bird and Sacred Burn down* or Convulsion*

Incinerate is Ho-Oh'due south but viable fast motion choice due to its high STAB damage and energy generation, though it is quite cumbersome being a 5 plow fast motion.ExtrasensoryandSteel Wingare both inferior choices past a considerable margin, though they don't suffer most as much from the dull animation that Incinerate has.Hidden Power is non a groovy attack in PVP, merely it can have some niche utility on Ho-Oh if given the proper typing.

Brave Bird demands quite a fleck of energy, but is the cheapest charge motion bachelor to Ho-Oh. While its self-debuff makes it somewhat risky, its high STAB damage makes it considerably threatening if unshielded. Sacred Burn is a very powerful STAB move with a 50% Attack debuff adventure, and burns downwards Steel-type targets. Earthquake provides coverage against Rock types and sure targets such as Zekrom. Solar Beam and Burn Blast are among the nigh expensive accuse moves in the game energy-wise, simply the former provides coverage against Water and Rock Pokemon that Ho-Oh tin can struggle against, while the latter is all-time avoided because it is completely outclassed by Sacred Fire.

PvP Rating Explanation

Peachy League: 2 / 5

Ho-Oh tin can but join the Not bad League if obtained as a research quantum advantage and traded afterwards to reroll its IVs. This makes Ho-Oh very costly and unlikely to have a shot at Not bad League, simply nonetheless information technology has its niches. Being more slightly more bulky than Charizard is attractive every bit a Fire/Flying type, simply access to slow charge moves often causes Ho-Oh to lose matchups if the opponent commits 2 shields. Overall Ho-Oh is mostly a one-trick-pony that has a lot of potential when shields are down, simply otherwise tin can struggle compared to other meta picks. Ho-Oh also faces potent competition from Talonflame, who possesses similar stats and moves, but can pressure shields more finer with Flame Charge.

Ultra League: 3.five / 5

Ho-Oh has ameliorate operation in the Ultra League, where it starts to wield the merely existent advantage afforded to information technology; a good stat-spread. Here, it acts primarily as a closer, using its powerful merely slow charged moves to finish off opponents lacking shields. It also has adept matchups against tier-relevant pokemon such every bit Alolan Muk, Venusaur, and Registeel. Due to its double weakness however, Pokemon with Rock-type coverage tend to counter Ho-Oh, while Water and Dragon Pokemon are also quite common in this league. Like with Great League, Ho-Oh also faces competition with Talonflame in Ultra League, maybe even moreso.

Principal League: 4 / 5

Ho-Oh shines brightest in the Master League, at present beingness able to make full employ of its nifty stats. Its relatively unique Fire/Flying typing presents it with key resistances to Fairy-, Fighting- and Ground-blazon attacks, allowing Ho-Oh to take on Groudon, Togekiss, Metagross, and Zacian. Ho-Oh's power to difficult counter non Wild Charge Zacian is unique in the Master League, making it a valuable teammate to various Dragon-types.

While Ho-Oh packs an incredibly stiff closing and hit-and-run capabilities, it does oftentimes find itself struggling against shields due to taxing side furnishings of its charge moves. Ho-Oh additionally has problem against some of the metagame'southward titans, such as Kyogre, both formes of Giratina, Zekrom, and Palkia. Its double weakness to Rock-type attacks can leave it vulnerable to Melmetal, both formes of Landorus, and Excadrill when its shields are downwards. Finally, Incinerate'due south long duration can be unforgiving, making information technology difficult for Ho-Oh to switch out to take hold of its opponent'due south motion, and tin can leave it vulnerable to getting sniped downwards by high harm fast moves at low HP.
