How to Get Ho-Oh on the Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl Versions

Ho-oh, a Fire- and Flying-type legendary Pokemon, is often a favorite of those who like bird Pokemon. Its brilliant rainbow-colored feathers and powerful moves make it the main attraction in almost any battle. Although it is not possible to capture Ho-oh in "Pokemon Diamond" and "Pokemon Pearl," since the bird does not live in the region where those games take place, if you have captured Ho-oh in another game, like "Pokemon HeartGold," you may get him in these two games using the Pal Park feature.

Instructions

- 1
  Play "Pokemon Diamond" or "Pokemon Pearl" until you have completed the Sinnoh Pokdex. To complete the Pokedex, you simply need to see every Pokemon in the region.
- 2
  Go to Professor Oak's house in Pallet Town to get the National Dex once the Sinnoh Pokedex is complete. When you have the National Dex, save, then turn off the game.
- 3
  Place the game cartridge containing Ho-Oh into the Nintendo DS' second game slot. Turn on the Nintendo DS.
- 4
  Scroll down at the title screen and select "Migrate." A list of all the Pokemon you've captured in the other game is displayed.
- 5
  Select Ho-oh from the list, along with five other Pokemon. (You must migrate six Pokemon; you cannot migrate only Ho-oh.)
- 6
  Start the game and go to Route 221. Enter the Pal Park at the end of the road. Inside, you must capture Ho-oh. You are given six Park Balls to do so. Each Park Ball catches any Pokemon without chance of failure.
- 7
  Walk to the Cliff area. At the Cliff area, keep walking around until a random encounter triggers. If the encounter is Ho-oh, toss a Park Ball to capture him.
