With its respectable bulk, access to Nasty Plot and Agility, and a great ability in Berserk to further bolster its offensive prowess, Galarian Moltres makes for an incredible wallbreaker and setup sweeper for Dark teams, threatening Fighting- and Bug-types like Zamazenta and Volcarona. Hurricane OHKOes Fighting-types like Iron Valiant, Urshifu-R, and, when at +2, Assault Vest Gallade. It is also Galarian Moltres's strongest option for hitting Fairy-types, outright OHKOing Flutter Mane and Hatterene at +2 and OHKOing non-Assault Vest Primarina at +2 after minimal chip damage. Fiery Wrath is a more reliable STAB option, hitting Flying-resistant Pokemon like Heatran, Corviknight, and Zapdos. Agility allows Galarian Moltres to mitigate its low Speed, allowing it to outspeed would-be faster foes like Zamazenta and Flutter Mane and Choice Scarf users like Iron Valiant.

Ting-Lu provides entry hazard support and leverages its Electric immunity and Rock resistance to handle foes like Raging Bolt and Tyranitar. It can also break through special walls like Clodsire, Hisuian Goodra, and Alolan Muk. Grimmsnarl provides dual screens support for easier setup, potentially letting Galarian Moltres survive super effective moves like Iron Valiant's Moonblast and Iron Hands's Thunder Punch to activate both Berserk and its Weakness Policy. Grimmsnarl can also use Taunt to deny hazards from being set up and provide safe a switch in to Galarian Moltres using Parting Shot. Alolan Muk, with its Poison typing and excellent special bulk, can stave off Fairy-type attacks from foes like Choice Specs Flutter Mane and Choice Scarf Enamorus, threatening them back with Poison Jab. Bisharp serves an offensive answer to Fairy-, Ice-, and Rock-types, utilizing Sucker Punch to pick off Flutter Mane and Iron Boulder. Choice Band Meowscarada, Choice Specs Greninja, and Swords Dance Weavile can eliminate bulky Ground-types like Clodsire and Ting-Lu. Meowscarada and Greninja can help alleviate the Rock matchup for Galarian Moltres, with Meowscarada also threatening Water-types like Primarina and Dondozo. Meowscarada, Hoopa-U, and Weavile eliminate special walls like Blissey and Hisuian Goodra; Hoopa-U and Greninja also assist in Fighting and Fairy matchups. Sableye, with the combination of Will-O-Wisp and Knock Off, can wither down foes like Iron Hands and Dragonite, making it easier for Galarian Moltres to set up and eliminate them. Mandibuzz serves as a Defogger and can provide safe entry to Galarian Moltres using U-turn. Choice Scarf Darkrai can use its superb Speed tier and coverage options to revenge kill opposing Choice Scarf users like Iron Boulder, Meowscarada, and Greninja.

With its great defenses respectable bulk (90, 90, 125 without reliable recovery isn't that good), access to Nasty Plot and Agility, and a great ability in Berserk to further bolster its offensive prowess, Galarian Moltres makes for an incredible wallbreaker and setup sweeper for Dark teams, threatening Fighting- and Bug-types like Zamazenta and Volcarona. Hurricane OHKOes Fighting-types like Iron Valiant, Urshifu-R, and, when at +2, Assault Vest Gallade. It is also Galarian Moltres's strongest option for hitting Fairy-types, outright OHKOing Flutter Mane and Hatterene at +2, and OHKOing non-Assault Vest Primarina at +2 after minimal chip damage. Agility allows Galarian Moltres to mitigate its low Speed, allowing it to outspeed would-be faster foes like Zamazenta and Flutter Mane, and Choice Scarf users like Iron Valiant. The more I think about it, I think we do need a Fiery Wrath section here, my b.

Ting-Lu is an excellent partner for Galarian Moltres, providing entry hazard support and leveraging its Electric immunity and Rock resistance to handle foes like Ranging Bolt and Tyranitar. It can also break through special walls like Clodsire, Hisuian Goodra, and Alolan Muk. Grimmsnarl provides dual screens support for easier setup, potentially letting it survive super effective moves like Iron Valiant's Moonblast and Iron Hands's Thunder Punch, activating Berserk and Weakness Policy. Grimmsnarl can also use Taunt to deny entry hazards from being set up and provide safe switch-in to Galarian Moltres using Parting Shot. Alolan Muk, with its Poison typing and excellent special bulk makes for an excellent teammate, staving off Fairy-types attacks from foes like Choice Specs Flutter Mane and Choice Scarf Enamorus, threatening them back with Poison Jab. Bisharp serves an offensive answer to Fairy-, Ice-, and Rock-type; utilising utilizing Sucker Punch to pick off Flutter Mane and Iron Boulder. Choice Band Meowscarada, Choice Specs Greninja, and Swords Dance Weavile are excellent partners, eliminating bulky Ground-types like Clodsire and Ting-Lu. Meowscarada and Greninja can help alleviate Rock-type matchup for Galarian Moltres; with Meowscarada also threatening Water-types like Primarina and Dondozo. Meowscarada, Hoopa-U, and Weavile also eliminate other special walls like Blissey and Hisuian Goodra, and Hoopa-U and Greninja also assist against Fighting- and Fairy-type matchups. Sableye, with the combination of Will-O-Wisp and Knock Off, can wither down foes like Iron Hands and Dragonite, making it easier for Galarian Moltres to set up and eliminate these foes. Mandibuzz serves as a Defogger and can provide safe entry to Galarian Moltres using U-turn. Choice Scarf Darkrai can use its superb Speed tier and coverage options to revenge kill opposing Choice Scarf users like Iron Boulder, Meowscarada, and Greninja. Galarian Moltres's teammates greatly benefit from its ability to offensively threaten Fighting-Types. (Feels just like filler)
