Ubers Ho-Oh

[Hera]

Ho-Oh @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 192 Def / 52 SpD / 16 Spe
Impish Nature
- Sacred Fire
- Brave Bird
- Thunder Wave
- Defog / Whirlwind

Ho-Oh's solid support options make it a strong option in the current metagame. Sacred Fire is a solid STAB move that can spread burns to switch-ins like Zekrom and Eternatus. Brave Bird hits opposing Ho-Oh and lets it check Marshadow lacking Rock Tomb more effectively, as well as being harder to PP stall than Sacred Fire. Thunder Wave cripples faster switch-ins like Kyogre. Ho-Oh can freely give Defog support after forcing out Steel-types like Necrozma-DM, but Whirlwind can beat Substitute users like Geomancy Xerneas lacking Ingrain. Due to its high special bulk, Ho-Oh is a solid midground switch-in to Calyrex-S and, when paired with Yveltal, can greatly reduce Calyrex-S's pressure. It dislikes Zygarde, so Pokemon like Aromatherapy Xerneas and Zarude are good partners; in return, it can switch into Necrozma-DM lacking Stone Edge and Life Orb Eternatus. Kyogre also threatens it, so defensive partners like Blissey and Ferrothorn can switch into it for Ho-Oh. Offensive partners like Calyrex-I appreciate the pressure Ho-Oh puts on Steel-types.

Fc Minority Icemaster Aberforth Staxi could you or someone else from Ubers QC give this a look?

I'd also mention that Whirlwind lets defensive Ho-oh phase Geomancy Xerneas that don't run Ingrain (which most don't).

This is overall a concise and accurate look at defensive Ho-Oh in SS.

QC: 1/1
