VGC VGC Galarian Moltres [QC 1/1], [GP 1/1]

Moltres-Galar @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Berserk
Level: 50
EVs: 92 HP / 252 SpA / 164 Spe
Timid Nature
- Protect
- Fiery Wrath
- Nasty Plot / Sucker Punch
- Hurricane / Air Slash

Galarian Moltres has proven itself to be a potent user of Weakness Policy and Dynamax through its respectable stats, defensive typing, and access to two excellent STAB Max Moves. This is thanks to the latest DLC reintroducing many Pokemon like Kartana, Metagross, and Cresselia as well as new faces like Spectrier that don't take Dark-type hits comfortably. It also takes advantage of Special Defense drops from Max Darkness to further increase its damage output. This EV spread allows Galarian Moltres to outspeed Adamant Landorus-T, with maximum Speed investment and, after a Max Airstream, maximum Speed Dragapult. Outside of Dynamax, +2 Fiery Wrath deals massive spread damage and can potentially flinch foes. Additionally, thanks to its natural bulk, Galarian Moltres can often find opportunities to set up with Nasty Plot, though Sucker Punch is a nice option on more offensive teams when finding the opportunity to set up is harder. Common partners that are able to activate Galarian Moltres's Weakness Policy are Comfey, Raichu, and Togedemaru. Comfey can also move before Follow Me with Triage Draining Kiss as well as Floral Healing to potentially stack multiple Berserk boosts, Raichu and Togedemaru offer Lightning Rod and Fake Out support.

Here is a replay showing Galarian Moltres in action.

Galarian Moltres has proven itself to be a potent abuser of Weakness Policy and Dynamax through its respectable stats, defensive typing, and access to two excellent STAB max moves. This is thanks to the Crown Tundra DLC reintroducing many Pokemon like Kartana, Metagross, and Cresselia, as well as new faces like Spectrier that don’t don't (use ASCII Apostrophe) take dark type Dark-type hits comfortably. It also takes advantage of special defence Special Defense drops from Max Darkness to further increase its damage output. This ev EV spread will outspeed Adamant (Capitalize) 252 Speed (Capitalize) Landorus Therian Landorus-T, and after a Max Airstream, Moltres will outspeed max Speed Dragapult. The rest is dumped in hp HP to increase overall bulk. Outside of Dynamax, +2 Fiery Wrath deals massive spread damage, and potentially flinching opponents foes. Thanks to Moltres natural bulk it can often finds opportunity to setup with Nasty Plot. Sucker Punch is a nice option on more offensive teams when finding the opportunity for Nasty Plot is harder. Common partners that will activate Galarian Moltres's Weakness Policy are Comfey, Raichu, and Togedemaru. The former moves before Follow Me with Triage Draining Kiss as well as Floral Healing to potentially stack multiple Berserk boosts, while the latter two offer Lightning Rod, and Fake Out support.

(usually when you include a replay in a spotlight it comes with a sentence about it so something along the lines of "heres galarian moltres in action" or something like that would work here)
