Whirlwind is key to shutting down set-up sweepers like Xerneas, Bulk Up Marshadow, Cosmic Power or Meteor Beam Eternatus (once it's used its Power Herb), and Dragon Dance Zygarde-C. Carrying both moves is an option, though. Sacred Fire is generally your best STAB Brave Bird is a little stronger and has perfect accuracy, but chips into your HP, undermining your staying power against powerful offensive Pokemon, and lacks Sacred Fire's 50% Burn chance, which is incredibly useful for punishing switch-ins like Tyranitar, Zekrom, and Zygarde-C. This is the particular set I use and it's pretty straight-forward, but there are other options to consider as well. This ability to blanket check a wide variety of sweepers combined with Regenerator lets Ho-Oh act as an amazing defensive pivot for many team archetypes. Ho-Oh has the ability to check a ton of the most dangerous threats in inclusive formats, like Xerneas, Calyrex-S, Marshadow, Eternatus, and Necrozma-DM. It can also work well against physical attackers as long as they don't have too much offensive might, such as Mimikyu, Marshadow lacking Rock Tomb, Solgaleo, Scizor, etc, and against some others like Zekrom or Landorus landing a burn with Sacred Fire when they switch in can cripple them. Ho-Oh is effective against most special attackers lacking super effective hits, it can effectively wall Pokémon like Lunala, Reshiram, Dialga, Kyurem-White, Magearna, and Xerneas, with Geomancy-boosted Moonblast failing to 2KO.
Earthquake is a reliable move that covers Heatran and Reshiram, and can be used after Max Airstream to eliminate weakened Zekrom. The recoil damage, while not welcome for a Pokémon relying on its bulk, can be mitigated through Recover and Regenerator. Brave Bird is a powerful attack that also provides Max Airstream. Use Ho-Oh's special bulk to win through Recover and attacking against special attackers while Sacred Fire is scary for physical attackers, particularly Zacian and Groudon.
