With Nasty Plot, Galarian Moltres is a solid late-game setup sweeper and wallbreaker. Hurricane is the strongest Flying-type STAB option and can blow away Fighting-types like Iron Valiant, Great Tusk, and Zamazenta without requiring Galarian Moltres to Terastallize. If you would rather have something more consistent, Tera Blast Fairy can be useful as coverage against them while also hitting Dark-types like Ting-Lu harder than Hurricane, which, in combination with Fiery Wrath, allows Galarian Moltres to hit most of the tier at least neutrally. Taunt potentially turns it into a stallbreaker, as it blocks status moves like Whirlwind from Ting-Lu, Toxic from Gliscor and Clodsire, and Calm Mind and Soft-Boiled from Blissey, giving Galarian Moltres more opportunities to set up and sweep against bulkier teams, whereas with an Agility boost, Galarian Moltres matches up better against offensive teams, as it can outspeed threats like Iron Valiant, Dragapult, and Choice Scarf Enamorus, only remaining threatened by Raging Bolt's Thunderclap and other priority moves. Sitrus Berry is a must-have, allowing Galarian Moltres to potentially secure an extra boost from Berserk and its setup moves. Tera Ghost gives Galarian Moltres an immunity to Dragonite's Extreme Speed, Zamazenta's Body Press, and Blissey's Seismic Toss, as well as allowing it to double as a Rapid Spin blocker. Defensively, Tera Fairy is a solid typing that allows it to keep the resistance to Kingambit's Sucker Punch while making it immune to Dragpult's powerful Draco Meteor and Dragon Darts. Galarian Moltres can run a bulkier spread to give itself more chances to set up; this specific EV spread allows Galarian Moltres to outspeed uninvested Gliscor while surviving two Ivy Cudgels from Ogerpon-W after Sitrus Berry and two Ice Beams from Darkrai. Alternatively, it can run maximum Special Attack and Speed to increase its sweeping potential; this set is better suited to running Agility for setting up, whereas the bulkier set can more safely run Taunt.

Galarian Moltres fits best on hyper offensive teams. It pairs best with other offensive sweepers and wallbreakers similar to itself, such as Iron Valiant, Iron Moth, and Gholdengo, that can keep up pressure throughout a battle. Iron Valiant takes on foes like Darkrai and Raging Bolt, while Galarian Moltres handles Gholdengo and Pecharunt, forming a dangerous offensive core. Gholdengo can block any attempts to wear down Galarian Moltres with status and break through Ting-Lu and Fairy-types that Galarian Moltres struggles with. Iron Moth can help wallbreak and allow Galarian Moltres to sweep late in the game. Galarian Moltres can also fit well into Dark-type spam archetypes alongside teammates like Kingambit, Roaring Moon, and Hisuian Samurott, breaking through bulkier foes like Kingambit and Tinkaton. Galarian Moltres, in return, can pressure Dark-resistant Pokemon like Zamazenta and Great Tusk. Galarian Moltres is particularly helped by entry hazards, the damage from which can chip down enemies that Galarian Moltres can then break through. Great Tusk and Iron Treads can set Stealth Rock to assist in this, use Rapid Spin to protect Galarian Moltres from entry hazard damage and let it setup on spinblockers, and check some of Galarian Moltres's tougher matchups like Raging Bolt and Iron Moth. Deoxys-S can also provide excellent support with entry hazards, while Hatterene can prevent opponents from setting their own hazards and can act as an additional setup sweeper for the team with Calm Mind. Sticky Web is also particularly helpful for Galarian Moltres. It allows it to sweep more of the tier by letting it outspeeding faster threats like Zamazenta and Iron Valiant without needing an additional boost from Agility, so Galarian Moltres can safely run Taunt instead; Araquanid and Ribombee are great teammates for this reason. Alolan Ninetales can facilitate another type of hyper offensive team; its Aurora Veil turns allow Galarian Moltres additional setup opportunities, especially when attempting to get a boost from both Nasty Plot and Agility back-to-back. Galarian Moltres is particularly susceptible to fast, powerful sweepers that can take it out before it has the chance to set up, including Iron Valiant and Zamazenta, and priority users like Raging Bolt and Dragonite that ignore its Agility boost. Pecharunt is an excellent teammate to take these hits and threaten back with Nasty Plot-boosted Malignant Chains; this can help overwhelm foes like Ting-Lu with poison, as well as Fairy-types that threaten Galarian Moltres like Iron Valiant and Clefable. Bulkier Pokemon that can spread Toxic like Gliscor and Clodsire can cut off Galarian Moltres's sweeping potential should it opt to forego Taunt; Kyurem is a strong teammate that can break through these checks. Other offensive teammates that form solid pairings with Galarian Moltres are Dragonite, which Galarian Moltres can help sweep by taking out Gholdengo, Zamazenta to deal with Kingambit while Galarian Moltres deals with Ghost-types in return, and Ogerpon-W, which can break through bulkier teams if Galarian Moltres is running Agility.

With Nasty Plot, Galarian Moltres is a surprising, Nasty Plot is the expected set on it powerful late game setup sweeper and wallbreaker. Hurricane is the strongest Flying-type STAB option, but if you would rather have something more consistent, Tera Blast can be useful as a way to do neutral damage and as surprise coverage give the benefits of Hurricane like not needing tera and hitting fightings hard. also mention how dark+fairy coverage is pretty much perfect.. Taunt can help block status like Thunder Wave and Toxic from Galarian Slowking that could threaten to stop a sweep its most potent use case is blocking whirlwind from ting lu, turning a hard counter into setup fodder. galarian slowking is threatened by fiery wrath and it can't even safely tera because of the flinch chance., whereas with an Agility boost, Galarian Moltres can outspeed most of the tier and increase its sweeping potential give examples of what it doesn't outspeed and priority attackers that can still beat it. Sitrus Berry is a must have, not only to increase Galarian Moltres' survivability while it sets up its boosts, but also to secure an additional Special Attack boost from Berserk this is fine but I'd rephrase it to include both getting multiple boosts and getting the boost while remaining healthy. Tera Ghost allows Galarian Moltres to double as a Rapid Spin blocker, while also giving it an immunity to Dragonite's Extreme Speed and Zamazenta's Body Press. Tera Fairy allows you to keep the resistence to Kingambit's Sucker Punch as well as giving you access to Tera Blast Fairy to break through Ting-lu Tera Blast Fairy gives near perfect coverage and Fairy ks also just a generally good type. Galarian Moltres can run max Special Attack and Speed to increase its sweeping potential, but can also run a bulkier spread to give itself more chances to setup; this specific EV spread allows Galarian Moltres to outspeed uninvested Gliscor while also surviving two Ivy Cudgels from Ogerpon-Wellspring and two Ice Beams from Darkrai specify what Darkrai set.

Galarian Moltres fits best on offensive teams. Iron Valiant is a similar sweeper that can keep up pressure as a teammate throughout a battle against opponents like Dragapult and Kyurem, forming a dangerous offensive core Dragapult is a good matchup for Moltres and Kyurem doesn't matter much unless it comes in on an unboosted moltres. They're common teammates but a better+more descriptive explanation of what they do for each other would be appreciated.. Galarian Moltres can also fit well into Dark-type spam archetypes alongside teammates like Kingambit, Roaring Moon and Weavile mention samurott instead of weavile, breaking through bulkier opponents like Dondozo and Blissey mention other shared utility like overwhelming dark resists for example, or moltres having tera + hurricane or tera blast to come in on zama. Galarian Moltres is particularly helped by entry hazards, the damage from which can chip down enemies that Galarian Moltres can then break through. Great Tusk can not only set Stealth Rock to assist in this, but also check some of Galarian Moltres' tougher matchups like Raging Bolt and Iron Moth Tusk is a very good spinner and protects Moltres's HP from Rocks, Moltres clicks Nasty Plot for free on spinblockers.. Sticky Webs are also particularly helpful for Galarian Moltres, allowing it to sweep more of the tier without needing an additional boost from Agility removes much of the downside of taunt; Araquanid and Ribombee are great teammates for this reason. Galarian Moltres is particularly susceptible to fast, powerful sweepers that can take it out before it has the chance to setup, including Iron Valiant and Zamazenta. Pecharunt is an excellent teammate to take these hits and both threaten back with Malignant Chain as well as pivot back to Galarian Moltres when its safe using Parting Shot. Bulkier opponents that can spread Toxic like Gliscor and Clodsire can cut off Galarian Moltres' sweeping potential; Kyurem is a strong teammate that can break through these checks. Gholdengo is also an excellent teammate to block any attempts to remove entry hazards or wear down Galarian Moltres with status.

Could switch the order of these around to match the order in which the two EV spreads are listed onsite. You also don't need to specify Timid Darkrai here; all onsite Darkrai sets are Timid by default, the only other Nature that gets mentioned is Hasty/Naive (for Sucker/Knock variants) which doesn't change any calcs.

Nice! Glad you specifically mentioned this. Galarian Moltres is particularly susceptible to fast, powerful sweepers that can take it out before it has the chance to setup, including Iron Valiant and Zamazenta. Pecharunt is an excellent teammate to take these hits and both threaten back with Malignant Chain as well as pivot back to Galarian Moltres when its safe using Parting Shot. Bulkier opponents that can spread Toxic like Gliscor and Clodsire can cut off Galarian Moltres' sweeping potential should it opt to forego Taunt; Kyurem is a strong teammate that can break through these checks. Gholdengo is also an excellent teammate to block any attempts to remove entry hazards or wear down Galarian Moltres with status. We're really getting into fringe territory here, but you could also mention Screens/Veil since G-Moltres is pretty decent on those squads. I'll leave that one up to you.

Could bring up other offensive teammates like Iron Moth (G-Moltres can threaten bulkier mons so Moth can clean up late-game) and DNite (some DD sets get completely walled by Ghold but Ghold is terrified of G-Moltres, typical "one can break early-game and the other can sweep late-game" routine for most setup mons).

Iron Valiant is a similar sweeper that can keep up pressure as a teammate throughout a battle, taking on opponents like Darkrai and Raging Bolt while Galarian Moltres handles Gholdengo and Pecharunt, forming a dangerous offensive core. Galarian Moltres can also fit well into Dark-type spam archetypes alongside teammates like Kingambit, Roaring Moon and Hisuian Samurott, breaking through bulkier opponents like Dondozo and Blissey. Galarian Moltres in return can use its combination of Tera and Hurricane or Tera Blast to take on Dark- resists like Zamazenta. Galarian Moltres is particularly helped by entry hazards, the damage from which can chip down enemies that Galarian Moltres can then break through. Great Tusk can set Stealth Rock to assist in this, use Rapid Spin to protect Galarian Moltres from entry hazard damage and let it setup on spinblockers, and also check some of Galarian Moltres' tougher matchups like Raging Bolt and Iron Moth. Sticky Webs are also particularly helpful for Galarian Moltres, allowing it to sweep more of the tier without needing an additional boost from Agility, so it can safely run Taunt instead; Araquanid and Ribombee are great teammates for this reason. Nice! Glad you specifically mentioned this. Galarian Moltres is particularly susceptible to fast, powerful sweepers that can take it out before it has the chance to setup, including Iron Valiant and Zamazenta. Pecharunt is an excellent teammate to take these hits and both threaten back with Malignant Chain as well as pivot back to Galarian Moltres when its safe using Parting Shot. Bulkier opponents that can spread Toxic like Gliscor and Clodsire can cut off Galarian Moltres' sweeping potential should it opt to forego Taunt; Kyurem is a strong teammate that can break through these checks. Gholdengo is also an excellent teammate to block any attempts to remove entry hazards or wear down Galarian Moltres with status. We're really getting into fringe territory here, but you could also mention Screens/Veil since G-Moltres is pretty decent on those squads. I'll leave that one up to you.

Could bring up other offensive teammates like Iron Moth (G-Moltres can threaten bulkier mons so Moth can clean up late-game) and DNite (some DD sets get completely walled by Ghold but Ghold is terrified of G-Moltres, typical "one can break early-game and the other can sweep late-game" routine for most setup mons).

Good work; this is QC 2/2 once implemented! However, don't put this into GP yet; someone else wanted to have a look at this. Credit that third person too once they've posted.

Implemented and QC 2 reached. I'll wait to hear from this third person.

With Nasty Plot, Galarian Moltres is a powerful (tone this down a bit, it's a b- tier mon after all) late game setup sweeper and wallbreaker. Hurricane is the strongest Flying-type STAB option that can blow away Fighting-types like Iron Valiant, Great Tusk, and Zamazenta while without using up your Tera. If you would rather have something more consistent, Tera Blast Fairy can be useful as surprise coverage against them while also hitting Dark-types like xxxx harder than Hurricane, Dark-types, which in combination with Fiery Wrath allows Galarian Moltres to hit most of the tier at least neutrally. Taunt potentially turns it into a stallbreaker, as it (the spdef mons on stall like bliss clod glisc and rest lu can no longer check you reliably, esp cause you naturally shrug off their attacks like eq knock payback sball) help block status moves like Whirlwind from Ting-lu, Toxic from Gliscor and Clodsire, and Calm Mind and Soft-Boiled from Blissey, giving Galarian Moltres more opportunities to setup and sweep against bulkier teams, whereas with an Agility boost, Galarian Moltres matches up better against offensive teams, as it can outspeed threats like Iron Valiant (add more examples of mons that can otherwise threaten you if you're slower), only remaining threatened by Raging Bolt's Thunderclap and other priority. Sitrus Berry is a must have, allowing Galarian Moltres to potentially secure an extra (without sitrus you can still trigger berserk, sitrus just helps to potentially do it twice in a game) boost from Berserk without threatening its survivability, (not sure i follow this one, cause the only item that would realistically threaten your survivability is LO, which is not considered at all in the first place. if one would run other items, it would probably be lefties boots or WP, which doesnt cut into its survivability at all) and its setup moves even potentially securing an additional boost as well. Tera Ghost allows Galarian Moltres to double as a Rapid Spin blocker, (move this to the back cause the immunity to zama and dnite is miles better and more relevant for it, esp cause the only mon that realistically wants to spin on you is just treads cause tusk gets cooked. also add the immunity to stoss blissey, especially if you're the taunt variant) while also giving it an immunity to Dragonite's Extreme Speed and Zamazenta's Body Press. Defensively, Tera Fairy is a solid type that allows you to keep the resistance to Kingambit's Sucker Punch as well as giving you access to the aforementioned Tera Blast Fairy for solid coverage and to break through Ting-lu. (you've talked about tera blast fairy offensively previously, so talk about the defensive properties of fairy here; what else does it do aside from just maintaining the resistance to gambit's sucker?) Galarian Moltres can run a bulkier spread to give itself more chances to setup; this specific EV spread allows Galarian Moltres to outspeed uninvested Gliscor while also surviving two Ivy Cudgels from Ogerpon-Wellspring after Sitrus Berry and two Ice Beams from Darkrai. Alternatively, it can run max Special Attack and Speed to increase its sweeping potential. (mention that bulky spread fits better with taunt while offensive spread with agility)

Galarian Moltres fits best on hyper offensive teams. Iron Valiant is a similar sweeper that can keep up pressure as a teammate throughout a battle, taking on opponents like Darkrai and Raging Bolt while Galarian Moltres handles Gholdengo and Pecharunt, forming a dangerous offensive core. (not wrong but does iron valiant provide something specific to goltres that no other offensive mon can? it being mentioned alone and right after the first sentence implies that valiant is the most important partner when in reality goltres just appreciate fellow offensive threats that can overwhelm shared checks etc. you can reword this sentence to also include other special breakers like moth dengo etc that you eventually talk about later anyways by moving them here, like "other setup sweepers like valiant and abc can keep up the pressure etcetc", and from there you can explain the mons they threaten/overwhelm for you and what you do for them in return) Galarian Moltres can also fit well into Dark-type spam archetypes alongside teammates like Kingambit, Roaring Moon and Hisuian Samurott, breaking through bulkier opponents like Dondozo and Blissey. (these mons technically get overwhelmed by your taunt set. mention dark resists instead since the whole point of darkspam is to overwhelm dark resists together) Galarian Moltres in return can use its combination of Tera and Hurricane or Tera Blast to take on pressure (or other verbs, cause 'take on' sounds like you handle them defensively) Dark- resists like Zamazenta. Galarian Moltres is particularly helped by entry hazards, the damage from which can chip down enemies that Galarian Moltres can then break through. Great Tusk can set Stealth Rock to assist in this, use Rapid Spin to protect Galarian Moltres from entry hazard damage and let it setup on spinblockers, and also check some of Galarian Moltres' tougher matchups like Raging Bolt and Iron Moth. (mention other and more HO-specific hazard setting leads, like deoS or treads, and other hazard control options like cm hatt) Sticky Webs are also particularly helpful for Galarian Moltres, allowing it to sweep more of the tier without needing an additional boost from Agility, so it can safely run Taunt instead; Araquanid and Ribombee are great teammates for this reason. (any mons it can now outspeed with webs?) Galarian Moltres is particularly susceptible to fast, powerful sweepers that can take it out before it has the chance to setup, including Iron Valiant and Zamazenta (include priority users and examples of them here here cause they dont even care about your agility boost). Pecharunt is an excellent teammate to take these hits and both threaten back with Malignant Chain as well as pivot back to Galarian Moltres when its safe using Parting Shot. (mention how pecha can overwhelm tinglu w poison and fairies that can check goltres, especially if pecha is NP on webs) Bulkier opponents that can spread Toxic like Gliscor and Clodsire can cut off Galarian Moltres' sweeping potential should it opt to forego Taunt; Kyurem is a strong teammate that can break through these checks. Gholdengo is also an excellent teammate to block any attempts to remove entry hazards or (the hazards arent from goltres so the synergy is lost here, esp cause goltres isnt specific to hazard stack teams where dengo's anti-removal is necessary) wear down Galarian Moltres with status. Other offensive teammates that form solid pairings with Galarian Moltres are Iron Moth, which can help wallbreak and allow Galarian Moltres to sweep in the late game, Dragonite, which Galarian Moltres can help sweep by taking out Gholdengo, and Alolan Ninetales, (not really an 'offensive' teammate, better separate this mention. would rather move this after webs mention cause both veil and webs are 2 distinct HO styles that goltres can fit on) who's Aurora Veil turns allow Galarian Moltres additional setup opportunities. (mention that this is especially valuable for double dance variants, since it lets you set up both moves more easily)

Sitrus Berry is a must have, allowing Galarian Moltres to potentially secure an extra boost from Berserk, and its setup moves as well. Tera Ghost gives Galarian Moltres an immunity to Dragonite's Extreme Speed, Zamazenta's Body Press, and Blissey's Seismic toss, as well as allowing it to double as a Rapid Spin blocker. Defensively, Tera Fairy is a solid type that allows it to keep the resistance to Kingambit's Sucker Punch as well as making it immune to powerful Draco Meteor's (reword this cause darts is also a thing) from Dragapult and Raging Bolt (bolt would realistically just click its electric moves against you). Galarian Moltres can run a bulkier spread to give itself more chances to setup; this specific EV spread allows Galarian Moltres to outspeed uninvested Gliscor while also surviving two Ivy Cudgels from Ogerpon-Wellspring after Sitrus Berry and two Ice Beams from Darkrai.

Galarian Moltres fits best on hyper offensive teams.

Great Tusk and Iron Treads can set Stealth Rock to assist in this, use Rapid Spin to protect Galarian Moltres from entry hazard damage and let it setup on spinblockers, and also check some of Galarian Moltres' tougher matchups like Raging Bolt and Iron Moth. Deoxys-S can also provide excellent support with entry hazards and screens, while Hatterene can prevent opponents from setting their own hazards and can act as an additional breaker setup sweeper for the team with Calm Mind. Sticky Webs are also particularly helpful for Galarian Moltres, allowing it to sweep more of the tier, outspeeding faster threats like Zamazenta and Darkrai (val is prob a better mention just cause these mons often run boots, maybe over darkrai) without needing an additional boost from Agility, so it can safely run Taunt instead; Araquanid and Ribombee are great teammates for this reason.

With Nasty Plot, Galarian Moltres is a solid late game late-game setup sweeper and wallbreaker. Hurricane is the strongest Flying-type STAB option that and can blow away Fighting-types like Iron Valiant, Great Tusk, and Zamazenta while without using up your Tera requiring Galarian Moltres to Terastallize. If you would rather have something more consistent, Tera Blast Fairy can be useful as coverage against them while also hitting Dark-types like Ting-Lu harder than Hurricane, which, (AC) in combination with Fiery Wrath, (AC) allows Galarian Moltres to hit most of the tier at least neutrally. Taunt potentially turns it into a stallbreaker, as it help block blocks status moves like Whirlwind from Ting-Lu, Toxic from Gliscor and Clodsire, and Calm Mind and Soft-Boiled from Blissey, giving Galarian Moltres more opportunities to setup set up and sweep against bulkier teams, whereas with an Agility boost, Galarian Moltres matches up better against offensive teams, as it can outspeed threats like Iron Valiant, Dragapult, and Choice Scarf Enamorus, only remaining threatened by Raging Bolt's Thunderclap and other priority moves. Sitrus Berry is a must have must-have, allowing Galarian Moltres to potentially secure an extra boost from Berserk, (RC) and its setup moves as well. Tera Ghost gives Galarian Moltres an immunity to Dragonite's Extreme Speed, Zamazenta's Body Press, and Blissey's Seismic Toss, as well as allowing it to double as a Rapid Spin blocker. Defensively, Tera Fairy is a solid type typing that allows it to keep the resistance to Kingambit's Sucker Punch as well as while making it immune to Dragpult's powerful Draco Meteor's Meteor and Dragon Darts' from Dragapult. Galarian Moltres can run a bulkier spread to give itself more chances to setup set up; this specific EV spread allows Galarian Moltres to outspeed uninvested Gliscor while also surviving two Ivy Cudgels from Ogerpon-Wellspring Ogerpon-W after Sitrus Berry and two Ice Beams from Darkrai. Alternatively, it can run max maximum Special Attack and Speed to increase its sweeping potential; this set is better suited to running Agility for setting up, whereas the bulkier set can more safely run Taunt.

Galarian Moltres fits best on hyper offensive teams. It pairs best with other offensive sweepers and wallbreakers similar to itself, such as Iron Valiant, Iron Moth, and Gholdengo, (AC) that can keep up pressure as a teammate throughout a battle. Iron Valiant takes on opponents foes like Darkrai and Raging Bolt, (AC) while Galarian Moltres handles Gholdengo and Pecharunt, forming a dangerous offensive core. Gholdengo can block any attempts to wear down Galarian Moltres with status and break through Ting-Lu and Fairy-types that Galarian Moltres struggles with. Iron Moth can help wallbreak and allow Galarian Moltres to sweep late in the late game, (RC) and Dragonite, which Galarian Moltres can help sweep by taking out Gholdengo. (It seems you've mentioned Dragonite later and it makes more sense to talk about it there.) Galarian Moltres can also fit well into Dark-type spam archetypes alongside teammates like Kingambit, Roaring Moon, (AC) and Hisuian Samurott, breaking through bulkier opponents foes like Kingambit and Tinkaton. Galarian Moltres, (AC) in return, (AC) can pressure Dark- resists Dark-resistant Pokemon like Zamazenta and Great Tusk. Galarian Moltres is particularly helped by entry hazards, the damage from which can chip down enemies that Galarian Moltres can then break through. Great Tusk and Iron Treads can set Stealth Rock to assist in this, use Rapid Spin to protect Galarian Moltres from entry hazard damage and let it setup on spinblockers, and also check some of Galarian Moltres' Moltres's tougher matchups like Raging Bolt and Iron Moth. Deoxys-S can also provide excellent support with entry hazards, while Hatterene can prevent opponents from setting their own hazards and can act as an additional setup sweeper for the team with Calm Mind. Sticky Webs are Web is also particularly helpful for Galarian Moltres, (RC) allowing. (AP) It allows it to sweep more of the tier, (RC) by letting it outspeeding faster threats like Zamazenta and Iron Valiant without needing an additional boost from Agility, so it Galarian Moltres can safely run Taunt instead; Araquanid and Ribombee are great teammates for this reason. Alolan Ninetales can facilitate another type of hyper offensive team; its Aurora Veil turns allow Galarian Moltres additional setup opportunities, especially when attempting to get a boost from both Nasty Plot and Agility back to back back-to-back. Galarian Moltres is particularly susceptible to fast, powerful sweepers that can take it out before it has the chance to setup set up, including Iron Valiant and Zamazenta, and priority users like Raging Bolt and Dragonite that ignores ignore its Agility boost. Pecharunt is an excellent teammate to take these hits and threaten back with Nasty Plot boosted Plot-boosted Malignant Chains; this can help overwhelm opponents foes like Ting-Lu with poison, as well as Fairy-types that threaten Galarian Moltres like Iron Valiant and Clefable. Bulkier opponents Pokemon that can spread Toxic like Gliscor and Clodsire can cut off Galarian Moltres' Moltres's sweeping potential should it opt to forego Taunt; Kyurem is a strong teammate that can break through these checks. Other offensive teammates that form solid pairings with Galarian Moltres are Dragonite, which Galarian Moltres can help sweep by taking out Gholdengo, Zamazenta to deal with Kingambit while Galarian Moltres deals with Ghost-types in return, and Ogerpon-W, (AC) which can break through bulkier teams if Galarian Moltres is running Agility.
