  • With 4-5 characters, you can generate ~900k+ per week from Ho-Oh alone.
  • You can share the same team between characters via the shared PC storage.

Tips

  • Bring Max Potions, Max Revives and Full Restores. The fight is long.
  • Save before the fight. If you lose, you can restart without wasting the cooldown.
  • Check GTL prices before selling your drops. Prices fluctuate a lot.
  • Amulet Coin is a consumable activated from your inventory, not a held item.
  • Bring a Pokemon with Sand Stream or Drizzle to cancel Ho-Oh's sun.
  • Rock moves (Rock Slide, Stone Edge) are x4 super effective against Ho-Oh (Fire/Flying).
