Galarian Moltres takes flight to terrorize even the gods themselves! Inheriting Special Attack from Kyogre, Mewtwo, or Kyurem-W supercharges Galarian Moltres's already impressive sweeping ability. Hurricane and Fiery Wrath provide near-perfect coverage, allowing Galarian Moltres to run both Nasty Plot and Agility without worrying about annoying "coverage moves." After an Agility boost, it outspeeds the entire relevant metagame, including Choice Scarf users like Kartana, and very little can withstand its attacks at +2, let alone if it reaches +3 if Berserk gets triggered. It also has the bulk to set up fairly easily, and it usually gets the chance to boost twice. Galarian Moltres often finds a home on offensive teams paired with powerful wallbreakers like Choice Specs Kyogre and Choice Band Zygarde-10%. While its coverage is fantastic, it does struggle against a few key threats, such as Tapu Koko and Tyranitar, so checks like Landorus-T and Tangrowth make excellent teammates. Once Galarian Moltres is set up, often all your opponent can do is pray for a Hurricane miss...
