Strategy & play

How Ho-Oh plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
  • Its main attack (Rainbow Wing) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
  • Fire type, weak to Water ×2 — a Water attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
  • Seen in 0% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 1 copy.

How to beat Ho-Oh

  • Exploit its Water weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.

About this card

HP: 90Type:RFireSubtype: Basic

"Its feathers are in seven colors. It is said that anyone seeing it is promised eternal happiness."

Poké-Power: Phoenix Turn

Once during your opponent's turn, if Ho-Oh would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack, you may flip a coin. If heads, Ho-Oh isn't discarded. Instead, remove all damage counter, Special Conditions, and other effects from Ho-Oh. Then, discard all cards attached to Ho-Oh (except for Energy cards). This counts as Ho-Oh being Knocked Out and your opponent takes a Prize card.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Ho-Oh is real?

Ho-Oh is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
