Ho-oh

FIREFLYINGLEGENDARY

Ho-oh shows up in the level 200 hunt and averages 385 of loot and 6,008 XP per kill.

Is Ho-oh worth hunting?

Among the 6 Pokémon in the level 200 hunt, Ho-oh ranks 6th for loot per kill, 14% below the level's median.

Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.

65% of all loot comes from a single item: Crystal Stone. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.

The rare drop worth waiting for is Crystal Stone (50,000 at the NPC), at 0.50% chance — on average one every 200 kills.

For XP it ranks 5 of 6 at this level — 6,008 per kill.

Drop chance, count and NPC price for every item. Expected value already accounts for the chance and the average count.
