With access to both Nasty Plot and Agility as well as a Special Attack-boosting ability in Berserk, Galarian Moltres is a great late game sweeper for Dark teams. In addition, its part-Flying typing provides Dark teams with a great offensive option against Fighting and Bug teams, as well as a greatly appreciated neutrality to the aforementioned types. After one Nasty Plot boost, Galarian Moltres 2HKOes physically defensive Toxapex, physically defensive Ting-Lu, and Celesteela. After one Agility boost, it is able to outspeed would-be faster Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Iron Valiant, Regieleki, and +1 Volcarona, as well as Mega Swampert in rain. With Flyinium Z , a Nasty Plot-boosted Supersonic Skystrike OHKOes Mega Diancie, Tapu Koko, and specially defensive Toxapex. An unboosted Supersonic Skystrike is still able to OHKO Terrakion after Stealth Rock damage. Hisuian Samurott provides entry hazard support in order to wear down incoming foes into OHKO range for Galarian Moltres, and in return, Galarian Moltres can threaten the Grass- and Fighting-types the two of them struggle with such as Mega Venusaur and Urshifu-R. Grimmsnarl is another great teammate, as it is able to set up dual screens to further make Galarian Moltres difficult to KO, and it can also run Taunt to prevent Stealth Rock from being set. Because of Galarian Moltres's part-Flying-typing, it is vulnerable to Stealth Rock. Because of this vulnerability, it appreciates hazard control from Mega Sableye's Magic Bounce, and Mega Sableye is also able to cripple opposing foes with Will-O-Wisp and Knock Off. Choice Band users such as Weavile, Roaring Moon, and Meowscarada can check walls Galarian Moltres struggles with like Dondozo and Clodsire. In return, Meowscarada and Weavile appreciate Galarian Moltres matching up well against Volcarona and Roaring Moon appreciates Galarian Moltres matching up well against Great Tusk. Lastly, Galarian Moltres can be paired with other sweepers such as Swords Dance Weavile and Dragon Dance Roaring Moon to soften each other's checks to enable each other to sweep. For example, Weavile is able to threaten Ting-Lu and Clodsire, while Galarian Moltres is able to handle Choice Scarf Gholdengo in return. When Galarian Moltres is not able to complete an outright sweep, it can set up for Choice Scarf users such as Meowscarada and Greninja to clean up.

With access to both Nasty Plot and Agility, as well as a Special Attack-boosting ability in Berserk, Galarian Moltres is a great lategame sweeper for Dark teams. In addition, it's Flying-typing provides Dark teams a great offensive option against Fighting and Bug-teams, as well as a greatly appreciated neutrality to the aforementioned types. After one Nasty Plot boost, Galarian Moltres 2HKOes physically defensive Toxapex and Celesteela, as well as a chance to OHKO Gastrodon (this Gastro would be on Ground, which has Ting-Lu, so it a bit odd) from full. After one Agility boost, it is able to outspeed would-be faster Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Gholdengo, boosted Iron Valiant, and +1 Volcarona (Also helps out on rain water mu, you outspeed M.Pert at least + Regieleki). With Flyinium-Z, a Nasty Plot-boosted Supersonic Skystrike OHKOes Mega Diancie, Tapu Koko, and a max HP and Special Defense investment Toxapex. An unboosted Supersonic Skystrike is still able to OHKO Terrakion and some variants of Landorus-T (not really needed since it wouldnt...dare) after Stealth Rock. Ting-Lu and Hisuian Samurott provide hazard support in order to wear down incoming foes into OHKO range of one of Galarian Moltres's attacks, and in return, it can threaten the Grass- and Fighting-types types the two of them struggle with such as Mega Venusaur and Urshifu-R. Because of Galarian Moltres's Flying-typing, it is vulnerable to Stealth Rock. Hence, it appreciates hazard removal and control from Mega Sableye's Magic Bounce and Mandibuzz's Defog. Mega Sableye is also able to cripple opposing foes with Will-O-Wisp and Knock Off, while Mandibuzz can bring Galarian Moltres in safely with U-turn. Choice Band users such as Weavile, Roaring Moon, and Meowscarada can check walls Galarian Moltres struggles with like Dondozo and Clodsire. In return, they appreciate Galarian Moltres being able to match up well against Volcarona for Meowscarada and Weavile and Great Tusk for Roaring Moon.
*eee, I think its better for Goltres to be on HO structures (aka w/ grimmsnarl rather than balance, because of how setuppy and high risk it is. With that you can pair it with SD Weavile (for Cloddy/Ting-Lu), Bisharp (for softening up stuff)
*Alternatively, if you're really hard pressed to do balance I have this funny team (its not that nice), but then again Goltres just makes the structure too weird

In addition, it's Flying-typing provides Dark teams a great offensive option against Fighting and Bug-teams, as well as a greatly appreciated neutrality to the aforementioned types. After one Nasty Plot boost, Galarian Moltres 2HKOes physically defensive Toxapex, physically defensive Ting-Lu, and Celesteela. After one Agility boost, it is able to outspeed would-be faster Pokemon such as boosted Choice Scarf Iron Valiant there is no b.energy so boosted is weird tbh, Regieleki, and +1 Volcarona, as well as rain-boosted Pokemon like Mega Swampert Mega Swampert under rain shorter and better imo. With Flyinium-Z, a Nasty Plot-boosted Supersonic Skystrike OHKOes Mega Diancie, Tapu Koko, and specially defensive Toxapex. An unboosted Supersonic Skystrike is still able to OHKO Terrakion after Stealth Rock. Hisuian Samurott provides hazard support in order to wear down incoming foes into OHKO range of one of Galarian Moltres's attacks, and in return, it can threaten the Grass- and Fighting-types types the two of them struggle with such as Mega Venusaur and Urshifu-R.

Lastly, Galarian Moltres can be paired with other sweepers such as Swords Dance Weavile and Bisharp Dragon Dance Roaring Moon bisharp is extremely mid these days to soften each other's checks to enable a sweep from the other, such as Weavile being able to threaten Ting-Lu and Clodsire, with Galarian Moltres being able to handle Choice Scarf Gholdengo in return. mention scarfers such as gren and meow being able to clean up after moltres if it is not able to outright sweep

That is all!

Some of these are probably nitpicks but uh
