Ho-Oh, like Moltres, is based on the legend of the phoenix; unlike Moltres, it is based on the Fènghuáng. Many cultures view the phoenix as a symbol of resurrection; this is seen in Ho-Oh, which was reborn rising from its own ashes and had a hand in resurrecting Suicune, Raikou and Entei

Name origin

It's English name is simply another way of transcribing 鳳凰 Hōō, which is the Japanese word for phoenix, specifically, the Chinese phoenix, or Fènghuáng.
