[SET COMMENTS]
Galarian Moltres is one of the most threatening sweepers on offensive teams thanks to its excellent STAB coverage, solid bulk, and ability to run Nasty Plot and Agility on the same set. Hurricane is its most powerful attack and has excellent coverage, blasting common specially defensive walls like Tangrowth and Ferrothorn. Fiery Wrath is a more consistent attack that lacks Hurricane's raw power, but provides crucial coverage against Necrozma-DM, Rotom-W, and Skarmory. Nasty Plot overwhelms bulkier teams and reduces the number of times Galarian Moltres needs to successfully hit Hurricane, and Agility lets Galarian Moltres outspeed revenge killers and all relevant Choice Scarf users, including Kartana. Thanks to its impressive bulk for a sweeper, Galarian Moltres can usually set up the boosting move of its choice, and with dual screens support or proper prediction, it can often get both. Heavy-Duty Boots helps preserve its HP to allow for easier setup. On teams with dual screens support, Galarian Moltres can use Weakness Policy instead of Heavy-Duty Boots. This, alongside its good bulk, lets it set up on a super effective attack and potentially boost its Special Attack and Speed in the same turn.

Galarian Moltres fits best on hyper offense teams looking for a special attacking sweeper, although it fits on some balance teams as well. It has excellent synergy with many of the better offensive gods, including Mewtwo, Rayquaza, and Pheromosa, and can also pair up with slower ones like Kyogre. It appreciates dual screens from Tapu Koko on hyper offense teams to reliably set up both Nasty Plot and Agility, letting it blow through any potential switch-in. Since Galarian Moltres usually functions as a wincon, it appreciates wallbreaking teammates like Victini, Urshifu-R, and Kartana to help open up holes in the opposing defensive core. Additionally, entry hazard support from teammates like Cloyster, Ferrothorn, and Landorus-T helps wear down opposing Tapu Koko and Gastrodon. Since Galarian Moltres lacks any form of recovery, it appreciates pivots like Tapu Koko to get it in safely. While its coverage is amazing, it does miss a few key threats, namely Tapu Koko and Tyranitar, so reliable answers to wear them down like Landorus-T and Kartana are appreciated.

Other Options
=============
On teams with reliable entry hazard control, Galarian Moltres can use a Sitrus Berry to survive an otherwise 2HKO and activate Berserk twice. ChestoRest allows it to set up on status users reliably, but at the cost of a setup or STAB move, usually Hurricane or Agility.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Tapu Koko**: Tapu Koko resists both of Galarian Moltres's STAB moves and can retaliate, but it cannot always OHKO and must be wary of being worn down.

**Tyranitar**: Tyranitar also resists both of Galarian Moltres's STAB moves, can OHKO back with Stone Edge, and has the bulk to switch in multiple times.

**Specially Defensive Unaware Walls**: Specially defensive Clefable and Quagsire can ignore Nasty Plot boosts and threaten Galarian Moltres back with status. However, they need pretty substantial Special Defense donations to avoid the 2HKO from Hurricane, and both risk losing to confusion or a Fiery Wrath flinch.

It appreciates being paired with dual screens Tapu Koko on hyper offense teams to reliably set up both Nasty Plot and Agility and blow through any potential switch in. Since Galarian Moltres usually functions as a wincon, it appreciates wallbreaking teammates like Victini and Zygarde-10% to help open up holes in the opposing defensive core. Additionally, entry hazard support from teammates like Ferrothorn and Landorus-T help wear down opposing Tapu Koko and Gastrodon, which can otherwise stomach a hit. Since Galarian Moltres lacks any form of recovery, it appreciates pivots like Slowbro to get it in safely. While its coverage is amazing, it does miss a few key threats, most significantly Tapu Koko and Tyranitar, so reliable answers to wear it down like Tangrowth and Landorus-T are appreciated. You named a lot of defensive Pokemon for a Pokemon mostly used on hyper offense, so I'd change a lot of examples. In that case, I don't think pivots are the most necessary as well.

=============
Galarian Moltres can run Black Glasses to provide a little more power on Fiery Wrath, but the extra bulk afforded by Heavy-Duty Boots is generally preferred.

Checks and Counters

I'd add Tyranitar here

Implemented. I disagree with removing all of the defensive examples as I think it can fit on bulky offense and balance as well as HO, but did add in more HO examples as well. Let me know if you're fine giving this 1/2, or would suggest further revisions.

Galarian Moltres can run Black Glasses to provide a little more power on Fiery Wrath, but the extra bulk afforded by Heavy-Duty Boots is generally preferred. After viewing further usage stats, I think Weakness Policy, ChestoRest (Probably Rest over Hurricane), Sitrus Berry (This one was used by Lily, Berserk activates before Sitrus so it may get the boost twice) might be worth a mention. You can add whatever you want.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Tapu Koko**: Tapu Koko resists both of Galarian Moltres's STAB moves and can retaliate, but cannot always OHKO and must be weary of being worn down.

Heavy-Duty Boots helps preserve its bulk to allow for easier setup, while Weakness Policy allows for Galarian Moltres to get extra boosts while behind Screens i don't know how to phrase this but say that Goltres is super bulky behind screens and WP takes advantage of this, and often how screens setters run taunt so hazards arent a problem

Other Options
=============
Galarian Moltres has a few other options for item, especially on teams with reliable entry hazard control. Black Glasses gives it recoil-free damage ampilfication on Fiery Wrath, its most consistent move, and Sitrus Berry allows it to potentially live an otherwise 2HKO and even activate Berserk twice. Weakness Policy is another option on hyper offense teams, as Galarian Moltres can usually live a super effective hit behind dual screens. Lastly, ChestoRest allows it to set up on status users reliably, but at the cost of a setup or STAB move, usually Hurricane or Agility. just adjust the language on this some to not be like lastly when there's two oos

Galarian Moltres fits best on hyper offense teams looking for a special attacking wincon, sweeper, (for clarity: to my knowledge wincon should be in an in-battle sense, and thus not something that factors in at the teambuilding stage) although it fits on some balance teams as well. It has excellent synergy with many of the better offensive gods, including Mewtwo, Rayquaza, and Pheromosa, and can also pair up with slower ones like Kyogre. It appreciates being paired with dual screens from Tapu Koko on hyper offense teams to reliably set up both Nasty Plot and Agility and blow Agility, letting it blow through any potential switch-in.
