5 facts about this card
Ho-Oh SL5 is one of the Call of Legends Shiny Secret prints, a special subset that gave Legendary Pokémon alternate shiny artwork derived from Japanese L-P Promotional cards, which is a big reason collectors treat these cards as the set’s true centerpiece.
Call of Legends released on February 9, 2011 as a unique HGSS-era expansion built around Legendary Pokémon, making this Ho-Oh part of one of the most myth-heavy and nostalgia-loaded sets of the period.
Ho-Oh has enormous anime prestige because it was the first Legendary Pokémon Ash ever encountered and even the first Generation II Pokémon to appear in any Pokémon media, giving this card extra historical weight for longtime fans.
Ho-Oh’s Johto mystique was cemented in the episode "For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!", where the ringing bells of Tin Tower signaled its return, reinforcing the sacred, once-in-a-lifetime aura collectors associate with the Pokémon.
This card’s dramatic portrait was illustrated by Hideaki Hakozaki, whose work helps sell Ho-Oh as a radiant sky-sovereign rather than just another Fire-type attacker, which is exactly the kind of visual identity collectors remember from the HGSS era.
