Question about attacker Ho-Oh

Does Steel Wing/ Fire Blast MS is pretty underwhelming even with the big fire bird stats? For example, it’s DPS is worse than Entei’s FS/ O against Piloswine or the posibly coming Regice?

I do have a 100% Blaziken fighter at level 30, I’m thinking about switching it to fire and powering it up—my Charizards were very lackluster yesterday. Depends on how much stardust I earn rest of the month. Ho-Oh I don’t see many possibilities, but I did catch a 13a/11/15 shiny yesterday

What are you powering up fire attackers for though? Againt Regice and Registeel you should just use Machamps if you don't have legendary fire mons.

Makes sense then. I probably should start paying more attention to clear weather counters now that it's starting to be sunny here as well.

Yes, the lack of STAB on the quick move hurts a lot and Fire Blast is a terrible charge move. I'm not sure if the last part is a question but Entei is #5 DPS against Piloswine while Ho-Oh is #16. Against Regice Entei is #2 while Ho-Oh is #11. Moveset makes the pokemon in POGO.

Against Regice, Ho-Oh is on average the #1 TDO though, so it could have a role as your anchor to prevent losing damage with a rejoin.

Do you mean the damage lost from the time needed to rejoin because the damage you have inflicted with your previous party is not reseted.

I use Ho - oH as machamp counter with extrasensory/BB and it does quite well.
