Ho-Oh as Regi-trio counter

Looking for speculation as to how Ho-Oh might perform against the other two Regis. I don't have Entei and I have very few Moltres candies, so I am wondering if it is worth investing resources in Ho-Oh.

I would assume Ho-Oh will be decent against Registeel as well, but not against Regirock. Thoughts?

There's tons of top counters to Regice.

Sunny: Moltres, Entei, Flareon.
Partly Cloudy: Smack Down Ttar (watch out for Focus Blast)
Cloudy: Machamp, Breloom, Blaziken (Fighting moves), Hariyama

If you really like Ho-Oh, power one up, but the Fire Blast moveset is weak. There's lots of other options for Regice, as listed above.

Turns out Tyranitar can survive a Focus Blast if at a high enough level (30ish). Source: a raid I did yesterday.

Ho-Oh is not really worth mentioning as a fire pokemon. Against Regis you're better off just powering up your Machamp squad more, it's the best nonlegendary counter in neutral weather.
