Moltres @ Life Orb / Choice Specs
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Fire Blast
- Roost / Hidden Power Grass
- U-turn
Moltres has established its position as a devastating wallbreaker in the RU tier thanks to its high-powered STAB attacks and its high base 125 Special Attack. Its viability comes from its ability to beat threats such as Mega Steelix and Milotic and pivot out of walls like Diancie and Cresselia. Choice Specs increases Moltres's damage output but being locked into a move can make Moltres setup bait for Pokemon like Flygon and Feraligatr. Moltres’s typing allows it to switch into common Pokemon such as Shaymin, Mega Steelix, and Bronzong but causes it to take a crippling amount of damage from Stealth Rock. Hazard removers like Gligar, Rotom-C, Sigilyph, and Mega Blastoise are fantastic teammates; Rotom-C synergizes especially well with Moltres due to its typing. Hazard setters like Mega Steelix and Rhyperior are amazing teammates, as Stealth Rock helps Moltres 2HKO Pokemon such as Milotic and Mandibuzz. Moltres's STAB attacks are both innacurate, but this doesn't stop it from being a defining force in the RU metagame!
