Generation 2’s Ho-Oh, the Legendary Bird, will make a comeback in Pokemon Go raids during the Shared Skies season as announced on the official Pokemon Go website.
Those who have played either the Gold version or its remake HeartGold will immediately recognize Ho-Oh, the Rainbow Pokemon, as the box Legendary for both games.
Despite its majestic appearance, this Fire/Flying-type packs quite a punch. Fortunately for players, this powerful Legendary is making a comeback in 5-star raids in Pokemon Go, giving them the chance to add it to their roster.
Weaknesses of Ho-Oh in Pokemon Go
Ho-oh, a Fire/Flying-type Pokemon, is vulnerable to Rock, Water, and Electric-type attacks. Therefore, players should strategize by utilizing Pokemon with these types.
This indicates that the Legendary has a strong resistance against Ground, Fighting, Steel, Fire, Fairy, Bug, and Grass-type attacks, making them ineffective. As a result, trainers should refrain from using these types of attacks in battle.

During the battle, these are some of the most effective counters you can utilize:
