[SET COMMENTS]
Galarian Moltres is a terrifying sweeper due to its access to both Nasty Plot and Agility as well as a near-unresisted STAB combination. After one Nasty Plot boost, it can 2HKO the likes of Assault Vest Galarian Slowking and Curse Garganacl, and after one Agility boost, it can outspeed would-be faster Pokemon such as +1 Iron Valiant, Choice Scarf Gholdengo, and +1 Walking Wake. Tera Dark boosts Fiery Wrath's power, being able to OHKO Assault Vest Galarian Slowking after a Nasty Plot boost and Stealth Rock damage, as well as being able to 2HKO specially defensive Moltres and Assault Vest Toxapex after a Nasty Plot boost. It also removes Galarian Moltres's Ice weakness, allowing it to avoid the OHKO from Baxcalibur’s +1 Icicle Crash and the 2HKO from its +1 Ice Shard. A Tera Flying-boosted Hurricane can OHKO Zamazenta without a Nasty Plot boost, as well as non-Assault Vest Azumarill and Enamorus after a Nasty Plot boost. Alternatively, Tera Blast Fairy can OHKO the likes of Baxcalibur and Hoopa-U while also being able to net 2HKOs on Kingambit, Assault Vest Hoopa-U, and Dragonite, all after one Nasty Plot boost. Because of its reliance on setup, Galarian Moltres is best utilized on hyper offense teams. Hence, it appreciates entry hazard support from suicide leads such as Glimmora, Hisuian Samurott, and Meowscarada so that incoming foes can be worn down for Galarian Moltres to clean. Hazard control is a must when running Galarian Moltres due to its vulnerability to Stealth Rock, so it appreciates partners such as Great Tusk and Hatterene with their access to Rapid Spin and Magic Bounce. The two of them can also threaten special walls that can hinder a Galarian Moltres sweep, with Great Tusk being able to OHKO Galarian Slowking and 2HKO Ting-Lu, while Hatterene can 2HKO Clodsire. In return, Galarian Moltres can set up on and threaten Zamazenta for Great Tusk and Gholdengo for Hatterene. Bulky Unaware users such as Dondozo as well as special walls like Garganacl prevent Galarian Moltres from performing its sweep. Hence, offensive Zapdos pairs well with Galarian Moltres, being able to 2HKO both of the aforementioned Pokemon, provided Garganacl is Tera Water. Lastly, Galarian Moltres can facilitate sweeps from physically oriented sweepers like Kingambit and Baxcalibur by removing obstacles like Great Tusk and Gholdengo.

Galarian Moltres is a terrifying sweeper due to its access to both Nasty Plot and Agility It’s near-unresisted STAB combo deserves mention here. After one Nasty Plot boost, it can 2HKO the likes of Assault Vest Galarian Slowking and Curse Garganacl, and after one Agility boost, it can outspeed would-be faster Pokemon such as +1 Iron Valiant, +1 Volcarona Volcarona’s still banned, maybe mention non-Ice Shard DD Baxcalibur or Choice Scarf Gholdengo or something, and +1 Walking Wake. Tera Dark boosts Fiery Wrath's power, being able to OHKO Assault Vest Galarian Slowking after a Nasty Plot boost and Stealth Rock damage, as well as being able to 2HKO specially defensive Moltres and Assault Vest Toxapex after a Nasty Plot boost. It also removes Galarian Moltres’ Ice weakness, allowing it to avoid the OHKO from Baxcalibur’s +1 Icicle Crash, and a 2HKO from its +1 Ice Shard. A Tera Flying-boosted Hurricane can OHKO Zamazenta without a Nasty Plot boost, as well as non-Assault Vest Azumarill and Enamorus after a Nasty Plot boost. Tera Fairy Tera Blast can OHKO the likes of Baxcalibur and Hoopa-Unbound, while also being able to net 2HKOs on Kingambit, Assault Vest Hoopa-Unbound, and Dragonite, all after one Nasty Plot boost. Because of its reliance on setup, Galarian Moltres is best utilized on hyper offense teams. Hence, it appreiciates hazard support from suicide leads such as Glimmora, Hisuian Samurott, and Greninja so that incoming foes can be worn down for Galarian Moltres to clean. Hazard control is a must when running Galarian Moltres due to its vulnerability to Stealth Rock, so it appreciates partners such as Great Tusk and Hatterene with their access to Rapid Spin and Magic Bounce, respectively. The two of them can also threaten special walls that can hinder a Galarian Moltres sweep, with Great Tusk being able to OHKO Galarian Slowking and 2HKO Ting-Lu, while Hatterene can 2HKO Clodsire. In return, Galarian Moltres can setup and threaten Zamazenta for Great Tusk and Gholdengo for Hatterene. Bulky Unaware users such as Dondozo, as well as special walls like and Tera Water Garganacl prevent Galarian Moltres from performing its sweep. Hence, offensive Zapdos pair well with Galarian Moltres, being able to 2HKO both of the aforementioned Pokemon, provided Garganacl is Tera Water (The mention of Tera Water on Garganacl was moved after the mention of Zapdos since removing a Flying-resistance actually allows Moltres to 2HKO with +2 Hurricane). Lastly, Galarian Moltres's sweeping can also facilitate the sweeps of physically-oriented sweepers like Kingambit and Baxcalibur, since it can remove foes like Great Tusk and Tera Fighting Gholdengo (These two deserve mention since Kingambit kinda struggles with Great Tusk and Gholdengo can use its Ice and Dragon resistances to wall Baxcalibur with Recover or use Tera Fighting to counter Kingambit, while Goltres hits them both super-effectively).
I think at some point, Moltres’ Dark resistance that helps prevent Kingambit from revenge-killing it deserves mention, since Gambit can be an annoying threat to most other set up sweepers with its Sucker Punch. This could also be mentioned as another merit to Tera Fairy, as it keeps this resistance. (+2 252+ Atk Supreme Overlord 5 allies fainted Kingambit Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Moltres-Galar: 211-249 (65.7 - 77.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO)

Great analysis overall

Great analysis overall

Implement the above. This is QC 1/2 once you do so (and credit only BreloomBuddy; I'm just here to officially stamp it).

A Tera Flying-boosted Hurricane can OHKO Zamazenta without a Nasty Plot boost, as well as non-Assault Vest Azumarill and Enamorus after a Nasty Plot boost. Tera Fairy Tera Blast can OHKO the likes of Baxcalibur and Hoopa-Unbound, while also being able to net 2HKOs on Kingambit, Assault Vest Hoopa-Unbound, and Dragonite, all after one Nasty Plot boost. Aside from offensive reasons, Tera Fairy retains Galarian Moltres's resistance to Dark, meaning it doesn't struggle as much against Kingambit compared to other setup sweepers. This sentence feels unnecessary, tera fairy does live sucker but unless gambit is already in OHKO range you die to iron head, and because you rely on tera blast for reliable stab you often have to tera before gambit comes in to get KOs. Because of its reliance on setup, Galarian Moltres is best utilized on hyper offense teams. Hence, it appreiciates hazard support from suicide leads such as Glimmora, Hisuian Samurott, and Greninja I would not list greninja as a suicide lead, sash gren only had about 3% usage of all grens last month. Consider lead sandy shocks or meowscarada instead. so that incoming foes can be worn down for Galarian Moltres to clean. Hazard control is a must when running Galarian Moltres due to its vulnerability to Stealth Rock, so it appreciates partners such as Great Tusk and Hatterene with their access to Rapid Spin and Magic Bounce, respectively. The two of them can also threaten special walls that can hinder a Galarian Moltres sweep, with Great Tusk being able to OHKO Galarian Slowking and 2HKO Ting-Lu, while Hatterene can 2HKO Clodsire. In return, Galarian Moltres can setup and threaten Zamazenta for Great Tusk and Gholdengo for Hatterene.

Hence, offensive Zapdos pair well with Galarian Moltres, being able to 2HKO both of the aforementioned Pokemon, provided Garganacl is Tera Water. Lastly, Galarian Moltres's sweeping can also facilitate the sweeps of physically-oriented sweepers like Kingambit and Baxcalibur, since it can remove foes like Great Tusk and Gholdengo. I would reword the last sentence to be more clear, something like "Lastly, Galarian Moltres can facilitate sweeps from physically-oriented sweepers like Kingambit and Baxcalibur by removing obstacles like Great Tusk and Gholdengo."

Good analysis, keep it up. Implement and then QC 2/2.
