History
Lugia first appeared in The Beedrill All and End All, in its spirit form above Cerise Island, where it was summoned by Lance. The Diving Pokémon is soon captured by Lance and it begins to gather energy from Cerise Island and the Kanto Gym Badges to eliminate mankind. Yellow quickly fights off the rest of Lance's Pokémon and has Pika attack Lugia with a MegaVolt attack, freeing Lugia from Lance and allowing it to turn its power of destruction into the power of life. Using its power, Lugia invigorates Cerise Island and restores the industrial wasteland north of Cerulean City. Afterwards, Lugia flees from its former Trainer, heading west and disappearing from Cerise Island.
One year later, Lugia appears at Whirl Islands and begins to create a barrage of whirlpools around the islands, making it difficult for ships to get close. Prior to Really Remoraid, Lugia was attacked in its home at the Whirl Islands, causing it to go on a rampage to drive out the intruders. Lugia is then found by Yellow, Crystal, and Wilton at the Whirl Islands, where it begins to attack the groups ship with a powerful Whirlpool. Lugia then lifts all of the ships in the area with Psychic, including one being used by Lt. Surge. Lugia then fires a powerful Aeroblast at Gold, Silver, and Lt. Surge, destroying the crag they were standing on. Silver then begins to battle the Diving Pokémon with his Murkrow while he tries to figure out why Lugia is going berserk. Lugia continues to attack its surroundings, destroying the boats around the island. The three Pokédex holders soon learn that Lugia is using air to attack and plan to pull it into the water to limit its attacks to a close range fight. Gold then attacks with his newly caught Tibo and Remoraid, striking Lugia with a combination water attack before Lugia counters by slamming Gold and his Pokémon into the ocean. While the attack did little damage it allowed Gold to put his cue stick into Lugia's mouth, keeping it from attacking with its mouth. Enraged, Lugia descends onto the Pokédex holders, attempting to crush the three with its wings. It is stopped by Exbo, Silver's Croconaw, and Megaree, who all evolve to keep its wings from crushing their Trainers. Gold and Crystal then attempt to capture the Diving Pokémon, but it was captured by the Masked Man instead.
Lugia is later used by the Masked Man in Lugia and Ho-Oh on the Loose (Part 1), being used to rampage at the Indigo Plateau. Lugia and Ho-Oh attack Gold and Crystal, combining their fire and air attacks to create an instant explosion. Gold and Crystal then attempt to separate the Tower duo, with Crystal using Natee to attack Lugia. Lugia and Ho-Oh then corner Gold, but is stopped by Natee's Future Sight. The Masked Man then extracted a Silver Wing from Lugia to make the GS Ball to capture Celebi, alongside Ho-Oh's Rainbow Wing.
Soon after Lugia is used alongside Ho-Oh to fight against Misty's Suicune, Lt. Surge's Raikou, and Blaine's Entei, with the Legendary beasts hoping to free Ho-Oh from the Masked Man. Despite being at a disadvantage in numbers the Tower duo easily kept the trio at bay. After weakening the three beasts the two birds flee with the Masked Man. Afterward Lugia is lent to Will to guard the Ilex Forest.
In The Last Battle VII, Lugia was used alongside Ho-Oh to battle against Green's Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres in Ilex Forest. Green then gets onto Moltres's back, while she has Red command Articuno and Blue command Zapdos. The three birds fire off a combination attack against Ho-Oh, who counters with Sacred Fire. Before Ho-Oh is overwhelmed by the Legendary birds Lugia disperses them with an attack. While trying to think of a way to attack the Tower duo, a large group of Pokémon that exited the Azalea Pokémon Center begin grouping around Lugia and Ho-Oh, each sharing the thoughts of stopping evil with their Trainers. The combined efforts of the Pokémon allow Lugia and Ho-Oh to be freed from Pryce's control, releasing the two Pokémon. After being released Lugia flies away with Ho-Oh and has not been seen since.

History
147 years prior to the events of the Red, Green & Blue arc, Ho-Oh revived three unnamed Pokémon that perished when the Brass Tower burned down. Ho-Oh used its powers to bring them back to life, causing the three to turn into their current forms.
Eventually, Ho-Oh was captured by the Masked Man and was used to help him prepare to capture Celebi. 6 years prior to the start of the Red, Green & Blue chapter, Ho-Oh was used by the Masked Man to kidnap Green, Silver, Carl, Sham, Will, and Karen as children based on their potential as Trainers. Sometime after this Ho-Oh was released.
In Ampharos Amore, Team Rocket attacks the Tin Tower, causing an earthquake which sinks it into the ground. This was done in hopes to lure the Rainbow Pokémon back to the tower. Ho-Oh became very angry, alerting others to its eventual return with a glowing statue of itself inside the Tin Tower. Despite Morty having the tower fixed within a month, Ho-Oh still planned to return to the tower.
Ho-Oh first appears in Oh, It's Ho-Oh!, where it battles against a Pokégear-controlled dummy that was set up by Masked Man. Ho-Oh battles against the Masked Man's Delibird and is eventually captured.
Ho-Oh is later used by the Masked Man in Lugia and Ho-Oh on the Loose (Part 1), being used to rampage at the Indigo Plateau. Ho-Oh and Lugia attack Gold and Crystal, combining their fire and air attacks to create an instant explosion. Gold and Crystal then attempt to separate the Tower duo, with Ho-Oh closing in on Gold, attacking his Sudobo with its beak. Sudobo retaliates with Flail, dealing massive damage to the Rainbow Pokémon. Ho-Oh and Lugia then corner Gold, but is stopped by Natee's Future Sight. The Masked Man then extracted a Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh to make the GS Ball to capture Celebi alongside Lugia's Silver Wing.
Soon after Ho-Oh is used alongside Lugia to fight against Misty's Suicune, Lt. Surge's Raikou, and Blaine's Entei, with the Legendary beasts hoping to free Ho-Oh from the Masked Man. Despite being at a disadvantage in numbers the Tower duo easily kept the trio bay. After weakening the three beasts the two birds flee with the Masked Man. Afterward Ho-Oh is lent to Karen to guard the Ilex Forest.
In The Last Battle VII, Ho-Oh was used alongside Lugia to battle against Green's Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres in Ilex Forest. Green then gets onto Moltres's back, while she has Red command Articuno and Blue command Zapdos. The three birds fire off a combination attack against Ho-Oh, who counters with Sacred Fire.

While trying to think of a way to attack the Tower duo, a large group of Pokémon that exited the Azalea Pokémon Center begin grouping around Ho-Oh and Lugia, each sharing the thoughts of stopping evil with their Trainers. The combined efforts of the Pokémon allow Ho-Oh and Lugia to be freed from Pryce's control, releasing the two Pokémon. After being released Ho-Oh was reunited with Suicune, Raikou, and Entei and flies away with Lugia. It has not been seen since.
Personality and characteristics
Ho-Oh is a powerful Pokémon, able to stand its ground against other Legendary Pokémon, holding its own against the Legendary birds and the Legendary beasts. Ho-Oh is also shown to care for other Pokémon, saving the Legendary beasts, bringing them back to life. It is also defensive of things it cares about, becoming incredibly angry after the Tin Tower was damaged. Ho-Oh has a strong relationship with the Legendary beasts, as they remained loyal to the Rainbow Pokémon for over a hundred years and fought intensely to free it from Pryce's control.
