Ho-Oh as a Raid Boss in Pokémon GO
Trainers will be greeted with a message in-game starting November 28, announcing Ho-Oh. For the efforts in the global catching challenge, Niantic has made the rare monster available in the game for two weeks.
Together, trainers caught more than 3 billion Pokémon during the challenge worldwide. This is now to be rewarded.
Until December 12, Ho-Oh will appear as a raid boss and is catchable for you. You do not need an EX raid invitation for this!
Together with the active event bonuses, you have a few more exciting days ahead in Pokémon GO.
Who is Ho-Oh?
Ho-Oh is a special Fire and Flying-type Pokémon that visually resembles a bird. Together with the legendary Pokémon “Lugia“, Ho-Oh has a close connection to the Johto region.
Lugia represents the “Guardian of the Sea” in Johto mythology. Ho-Oh is revered there as the “Patron of the Sky”. The Sky Guardian is known for its feathers that shine in the colors of the rainbow. It also leaves a rainbow trailing behind it while flying.
