After last week's Throwback Challenge featuring the Kanto region, Pokemon GO players will now revisit the Johto region and get a chance to capture the legendary flying and fire-type Pokemon, Ho-Oh.
Pokemon GO Johto Throwback Challenge 2020
According to HITC, anyone who wants a chance to get the legendary bird should complete all of the Johto Throwback Challenge missions for this week.
As the missions reset each week, players will only have a few days to complete all of the challenges and get rewards, including encounters with different Pokemon from the Johto region, and once they complete everything, they'll be rewarded with an encounter with Ho-Oh.
In order to get the Pokemon, it's essential to know what it's weakness is, which could greatly help you in battle.
When you finish all of this week's Pokemon GO challenges and come face to face with the flying and fire-type Pokemon, make sure you use a rock, electricity, or water-type Pokemon as these are the weaknesses of the monster.
How to Get Ho-Oh
Capturing Ho-Oh is an excellent advantage to any Pokemon GO players as its exclusive move, Earthquake, could come in handy in future battles.
