How to get Ho-Oh (really) hints and tips for Pokemon Colosseum

How to get Ho-Oh (really)

Im reading that most people say you have to purify all Pokemon then beat the game. THIS IS ONLY HALF TRUE!

To get ho-oh, you purify all Pokemon, then you save and quit. Go to battle mode, and select Mt. Battle. This is like Mt. Battle in story mode, only MUCH harder. You must use the Pokemon from story mode, too; no using Pokemon from sapphire/ruby/emerald or firered/leafgreen.

Beat all 100 trainers and you will get a message saying ho-oh has joined you. Check your PC in story mode, and he will be in there somewhere.

I havent tested this strategy yet, but I think the best way to beat mt. Battle is to double-battle with Espeon and Umbreon in your first slots, and Metagross and Tyranitar in your second slots.

Espeon should have Sunny Day, Psybeam, Psychic, and Morning Sun, holding a choice band, while Umbreon should have Faint Attack, confuse ray, toxic, and Moonlight.

Hit one enemy with Espeon's attacking moves, then the other with Umbreon's confuse ray. When the enemy Espeon is attacking has fainted, have espeon start attacking the confused enemy while umbreon confuses the one switching in. Rinse and repeat. If you encounter a dark type, have Umbreon confuse it then use toxic on it. Have umbreon use faint attack on it until it faints, while espeon only attacks the one thats not dark-type. If you encounter only dark-types, switch espeon with Metagross. If either espeon or umbreon gets low health, use Sunny Day then Morning Sun and/or Moonlight. If Umbreon faints, switch both for Metagross and Tyranitar. If your whole party faints, then don't worry as you get continues throughout the game.

I hope this helped, even a little bit. Have fun with your new Ho-oh!

Oh, and if you choose to do single battles, make sure the first Pokemon you select is Shuckles, as he is the best wall since Generation II.
