Both go a long way in giving Moltres an effective sense of variety. However, Moltres can be taught Steel Wing by Technical Machine, and when purified in Pokémon XD it also holds the strong Psychic-type attack Extrasensory. Charizard, for instance, which is also a fire- and flying-type, can learn even ground-type moves, giving it an edge against rock, electric, poison and other fire-type Pokémon. The main drawback to Moltres in terms of Legendary Pokémon is that it only learns attacks of the Fire, Flying, and Normal types, giving it a very limited movepool variety. This combines very well with Moltres’ Fire-type and array of powerful Fire-type moves to form a very strong offensive fire-based force. Moltres has impressively high statistics all around, with no base stat lower than 85, and its highest stat is a Special Attack rating of 125. Moltres also appears as a boss in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. In addition, a Shadow Moltres can be snagged from Cipher Grand Master Greevil in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, in Citadark Isle. Ember on the first Sevii island (it can be accessed before defeating the Elite Four). In the Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen remakes, though, Moltres has moved to a different location, which is on the top of Mt. In Pokémon Red and Blue, Pokémon Green, and Pokémon Yellow, Moltres is found in a side area in the Victory Road cave. Moltres, as a Legendary Pokémon, is a mission-centered Pokémon because only one exists in certain versions of the Pokémon game and is encountered in a pre-determined environment. When its body is injured for any reason, it will head towards a volcano and dip its body in the molten magma to heal its wounds. Incredibly, Moltres’ body seems unharmed by contact with molten lava it only restores Moltres' health. When Moltres thinks it is in the least bit possible danger (an unlikely scenario given Moltres’ power), it will summon a flash of fire and seemingly disappear, flying out of sight very fast. Moltres is an elusive creature, seen about as rarely as the other two members of the Legendary Bird triad to which it belongs: Articuno and Zapdos. Indeed, its wings are laden with enough fiery material that with every flap, a dazzling flare of flames is created to illuminate the night sky and overwhelm any person who might be in the area to see it. It can freely create and manipulate fire, and it constantly looses flaming embers from its wings. Moltres can be seen as the avian embodiment of an inferno (compare with Ho-oh). In its traits, it is based on the Arabian phoenix. It has an orange body, a small pointed beak, and where its plumage should be are flames of a searing intensity. Moltres is a large bird that is literally ablaze with fire. Moltres may be based on the Arabian phoenix. 'Moltres' comes from the words 'molten', because it is a fire-type, and 'tres', Spanish for 'three', denoting that Moltres is numerically the third (uno, dos, tres) of the Legendary Birds. Moltres is one of the three Legendary Birds, which also include Articuno and Zapdos.

Moltres (?, Faiy?, Fire) is a fictional character in the Pokémon franchise.
