Set Description
========
Moltres-G uses it’s substantial natural bulk to live powerful neutral hits and boost it’s Special Attack to fire off a powerful STAB priority move using the Custap Berry. Moltres-G’s ability, Berserk, gives it a niche way to further boost it’s Special Attack stat, giving it natural synergy with Endure and the Custap Berry. This set in particular handles some of the metagames most prominent Choice item threats such as Darmanitan-G, Urshifu, Genesect, and Necrozma, beating them with Endure and a Berserk boosted STAB attack.
EVs
========
248 HP and 72 Def can tank a Choice Banded hit from Haxorus, Snorlax, and both Urshifu forms. 76 SpD allows you to live a Choice Specs hit from all Rotom forms, non-Steel Beam Genesect, and Naganadel.
Strategy & Support
========
Against Pokemon that are not be able to OHKO Moltres-G, set up a Nasty Plot and proceed to attack with either of Moltres-G’s STABs. When facing Sturdy users that like to set up before atacking such as Shell Smash Crustle and Carracosta, use Fiery Wrath on turn 1 to break their Sturdy and proceed to Endure to avoid a OHKO and proceed to finish them off with a Berserk boosted STAB attack. When faced with a Snorlax, Nasty Plot right away as not even a Choice Banded hit can knock you out. If they Belly Drum into Custap berry range (50% or lower due to the ability Gluttony), Endure on the second turn to avoid being knocked out. Proceed to knock them out with a +3 Special Attack Hurricane.

Set Description
========
Describe what the moves and item on the set do.
EVs
========
Describe the purpose of the sets EVs and nature, along with additional EV spreads that serve specific purposes, if applicable.
Strategy & Support
========
Describe how to use the Pokemon, complicated matchups, notable exceptions with regards to archetypes you usually beat, and what Pokemon it can be paired with as teammates (avoid obvious type matchup examples).
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
An alternate set can be used with Chesto Berry, Hurricane, Fiery Wrath, Taunt, and Rest. If this set is chosen to be ran instead, shift the EV spread to 160 HP / 104 Def / 220 SpA / 6 SpD / 16 Spe. This bulk allows Moltres-G to tank a Choice Banded hit from Kartana and Modest Choice Scarf Porygon-Z. 16 Spe out speeds fast base 60s like Primarina and Magnezone. Hurricane OHKOs Garchomp at +2 Special Attack after using Rest. This bulk also allows it to tank 2 Timid Thunderbolts from Scarf Genesect. Beserk activates again once Moltres-G is at full health therefore Rest and Chesto Berry helps with doing +2 Special Attack damage versus faster opponents with Choiced Items that cant OHKO it like Garchomp, Naganadel, Genesect and both Urshifus. Taunt allows it to have a shot versus Custap Primarina, Sylveon and slow Tapu Fini because they’re slower and are forced to deal damage into Beserk range. It is also effective versus Registeel that can't 3HKO (or even 4HKO) with Body Press and Zygardes.
