Understanding Ho-Oh and Raid Battles
Let's dive into what makes Ho-Oh such a formidable opponent and why participating in raid battles is a fantastic way to enhance your Pokémon GO experience.
What is Ho-Oh?
Ho-Oh, the Rainbow Pokémon, is a dual-type Fire and Flying legendary Pokémon. Known for its vibrant plumage and majestic appearance, Ho-Oh is one of the legendary birds of the Johto region. This Pokémon is not just about looks; it boasts impressive stats, making it a powerhouse in battles. Its connection to the sun and its ability to create rainbows make it a symbol of hope and rebirth in the Pokémon lore.
Why Ho-Oh is a Great Pokémon to Have
Having a Ho-Oh in your collection can significantly boost your battle capabilities. Its dual typing offers a mix of powerful Fire and Flying-type moves, making it versatile in various combat scenarios. Ho-Oh excels in both offensive and defensive roles, making it a valuable asset for raids, Gym battles, and even Trainer Battles in the GO Battle League. Plus, its legendary status adds a certain prestige to your roster!
What are Raid Battles?
Raid Battles are cooperative gameplay experiences in Pokémon GO where you team up with other players to battle a powerful Pokémon, known as a Raid Boss. These battles occur at Gyms and range in difficulty from one-star to five-star raids, with Mega Raids and Elite Raids offering even greater challenges. Ho-Oh typically appears in five-star raids, meaning you’ll need a well-coordinated team to take it down.
How Raid Battles Work
To participate in a Raid Battle, you'll need a Raid Pass, which you can obtain by spinning the Photo Disc at a Gym. You can hold only one free Raid Pass at a time, but you can also purchase Premium Battle Passes from the in-game shop. Once you have a pass, head to a Gym where a raid is happening. You’ll usually see a large egg on top of the Gym indicating an upcoming raid, with a countdown timer showing when the raid will begin. When the egg hatches, the Raid Boss appears, and you can join the battle.
Benefits of Participating in Raids
Raids offer numerous benefits, making them a crucial part of the Pokémon GO experience:
- Chance to Catch Rare Pokémon: Raids give you the opportunity to catch powerful and rare Pokémon, including Legendaries like Ho-Oh.
- Rewards: Defeating a Raid Boss rewards you with valuable items such as Rare Candies, Golden Razz Berries, and Technical Machines (TMs), which can help you power up your Pokémon.
- Teamwork and Social Interaction: Raids encourage teamwork and social interaction as you collaborate with other players to defeat the Raid Boss.
- Excitement and Challenge: The thrill of battling a formidable opponent alongside friends is an exhilarating experience.
Preparing for the Ho-Oh Raid
Before you jump into the raid, it’s essential to prepare your team and strategize. A well-prepared team can make all the difference in securing a victory against Ho-Oh.
Ho-Oh’s Weaknesses and Strengths
Understanding Ho-Oh’s type matchups is crucial for building an effective raid team. Being a Fire and Flying-type, Ho-Oh is particularly vulnerable to Rock-type attacks. It also has weaknesses against Water and Electric-type moves, though these are less pronounced. On the other hand, Ho-Oh is resistant to Fire, Grass, Bug, Steel, and Fairy-type attacks.
Best Pokémon to Use Against Ho-Oh
To exploit Ho-Oh’s weaknesses, focus on assembling a team of strong Rock-type Pokémon. Here are some of the best counters to use in the raid:
- Rampardos: This Rock-type Pokémon is a powerhouse with incredible Attack stats, making it a top choice for dealing massive damage.
- Rhyperior: With its Rock and Ground typing, Rhyperior can withstand some of Ho-Oh’s attacks while dishing out significant damage with Rock-type moves.
- Tyranitar: A dual-type Rock and Dark Pokémon, Tyranitar is a reliable choice with high Attack and Defense stats.
- Mega Aerodactyl: As a Mega Evolution, Mega Aerodactyl offers exceptional Attack power and can significantly boost the damage output of your team.
- Terrakion: This Rock and Fighting-type Legendary Pokémon is another excellent option, known for its high Attack stat and powerful moves.
Recommended Movesets for Your Pokémon
Having the right movesets on your Pokémon can make a huge difference in battle. For the best performance against Ho-Oh, aim for these moves:
- Rampardos: Smack Down (Fast Move) and Rock Slide (Charged Move)
- Rhyperior: Smack Down (Fast Move) and Rock Wrecker (Charged Move)
- Tyranitar: Smack Down (Fast Move) and Stone Edge (Charged Move)
- Mega Aerodactyl: Rock Throw (Fast Move) and Rock Slide (Charged Move)
- Terrakion: Smack Down (Fast Move) and Rock Slide (Charged Move)
Importance of Weather Boost
Weather conditions in Pokémon GO can significantly impact battles. Ho-Oh raids are particularly influenced by weather boosts. When the weather in the game is Sunny or Windy, Ho-Oh’s Fire and Flying-type moves will be boosted, making the raid more challenging. However, when the weather is Partly Cloudy, Rock-type moves receive a boost, which is advantageous for your Rock-type counters. Knowing the weather conditions can help you strategize and choose the best time to raid.
Utilizing Weather Boost in Our Raid
The fact that we have two local players with weather boost is a significant advantage. If the weather is Partly Cloudy, our Rock-type Pokémon will deal even more damage, making the battle much easier. Keep an eye on the in-game weather and plan your raid accordingly to maximize this benefit. Remember, weather boost can be a game-changer!
Number of Trainers Needed
Ho-Oh is a five-star Raid Boss, so you'll need a strong team to take it down. Ideally, you should aim to have at least 4-6 high-level trainers with powerful counters. With two local players already on board and weather boost in our favor, we're off to a great start. The more trainers we have, the better our chances of defeating Ho-Oh and earning those valuable rewards.

Tips for a Successful Raid
To maximize our chances of success in the Ho-Oh raid, let’s go over some key tips and strategies.
Dodging Attacks
Dodging is a crucial skill in raid battles. By swiping left or right on your screen, you can dodge the Raid Boss’s Charged Attacks. Dodging not only reduces the damage your Pokémon take but also allows them to stay in the battle longer, dealing more damage overall. Pay attention to the visual cues and animations that indicate an incoming attack and swipe accordingly.
Using Charged Attacks Effectively
Charged Attacks are your Pokémon’s most powerful moves, but they require energy to use. You can charge up energy by using Fast Attacks. Once your Charged Attack bar is full, tap on the Charged Attack button to unleash a devastating blow on the Raid Boss. Time your Charged Attacks strategically to deal maximum damage.
Reviving and Healing Your Pokémon
During the raid, your Pokémon may faint. You can revive them using Revives and heal them using Potions. Make sure to have a good supply of these items in your inventory before the raid. If all your Pokémon faint, you can re-enter the battle with a new team, so don’t give up!
Golden Razz Berries for Catching Ho-Oh
After defeating Ho-Oh, you’ll have a chance to catch it. This is where Golden Razz Berries come in handy. Golden Razz Berries significantly increase your chances of catching a Pokémon. Use them wisely, especially if you’re having trouble landing successful throws. Aim for Great or Excellent throws to further improve your odds.
Best Throwing Techniques
To increase your chances of catching Ho-Oh, practice your throwing technique. Aim for the center of the target circle and try to land Curveball throws, which offer a higher catch rate. The smaller the target circle, the higher the catch rate, so aim for Excellent throws when possible. Patience and practice are key to mastering throwing techniques.
Conclusion
Raiding Ho-Oh is an exciting challenge, and with the right preparation and teamwork, we can emerge victorious. Remember, my trainer code is 446421895634, so add me and let’s coordinate this raid. With two local players and potential weather boost, we have a great opportunity to catch this legendary Pokémon.
