Galarian Moltres is a powerful special attacker on Flying teams that keeps Ghost- and Psychic-type threats in check thanks to its access to Nasty Plot. Fiery Wrath serves as a way for it to deal damage and take down Ghost-types such as Dragapult and Gholdengo. Hurricane provides Galarian Moltres with a way to deal significant damage to foes like Zamazenta, Volcarona, and the Ogerpon formes, except Ogerpon-C. However, due to Hurricane's low accuracy, Substitute can be be used in place of it to protect Galarian Moltres from status conditions, such as Toxic from Toxapex and Clodsire. Agility lets Galarian Moltres outspeed threats like Latios and Gholdengo. Alternatively, Pain Split lets it recover and allows it to activate its Berserk ability to get multiple Special Attack boosts.
Skarmory is a great partner for Galarian Moltres, as it is a physical wall that can switch into Rock- and Ice-type moves from foes such as Iron Boulder, Kleavor, and Weavile. Corviknight removes entry hazards using Defog in case Galarian Moltres's Heavy-Duty Boots get removed; specially defensive Corviknight provides Galarian Moltres a safe switch-in to Ice-types moves such as Ice Beam and Freeze-Dry from foes like Kyurem, Greninja, and Alolan Ninetales. Gliscor pairs well with Galarian Moltres, as it is immune to Electric-type moves, and it can switch into Knock Off to hinder any attempt to remove Galarian Moltres's Heavy-Duty Boots, provided that it's already poisoned. Additionally, Gliscor can switch into Rock-type attacks from foes like Iron Boulder and Hisuian Arcanine and hit them back with Earthquake. The Landorus formes form an offensive core with Galarian Moltres by removing threats like Empoleon and Gouging Fire. Enamorus revenge kills Rock-types that beat Galarian Moltres such as Tyranitar, Kleavor, and Hisuian Arcanine with Superpower and Earth Power, along with providing Healing Wish support. Articuno synergizes well with Galarian Moltres, as Articuno serves as a special wall and Galarian Moltres serves as a special attacker, forming a special core that exterminates foes like Greninja, Landorus, Clodsire, and Spectrier. Zapdos provides Galarian Moltres a safe switch-in to Electric-type attacks and can paralyze Pokemon that make contact with it due to Static. It also acts as a pivot thanks to Volt Switch, allowing Galarian Moltres to come in safely. Galarian Moltres is greatly assisted by Nasty Plot Tornadus-T due to its ability to remove Steel-type threats like Hisuian Goodra, Heatran, and Archaludon with Focus Blast. Assault Vest Tornadus-T can switch into attacks like Thunderbolt and Power Gem from foes like Iron Valiant, Flutter Mane, and Heatran and subsequently use U-turn to bring Galarian Moltres in safely. Dragonite forms an offensive core with Galarian Moltres, as Dragonite acts as a physical setup sweeper taking out foes like Alolan Muk, Corviknight, Clodsire, and Toxapex, while Galarian Moltres acts as a special setup sweeper taking out foes such as Dragapult and Latios. Dragonite finishes off enemies weakened by Galarian Moltres with Extreme Speed.
