Galarian Moltres utilizes its great bulk, typing, and movepool to become a great offensive support Pokemon that can also beat the powerful Calyrex formes. Fiery Wrath provides a consistent spread STAB option paired with its chance to flinch, complimenting Galarian Moltres's bulk as a great tool to wrack up damage. Foul Play on the other hand is a great anti-physical attacker tool, giving Galarian Moltres a fairly good matchup into Calyrex-I. Tailwind gives Galarian Moltres a supportive role in providing speed control for its team, allowing it to outspeed and fire off Fiery Wraths and Foul Plays. Black Glasses helps boost Galarian Moltres's damage output even more, allowing it to OHKO Calyrex-S and pairing well with potential Berserk boosts. The Speed investment allows Galarian Moltres to outspeed Choice Scarf Urshifu-R with Tailwind active, as well as naturally outspeeding most Gholdengo. The defensive investment allows Galarian Moltres to have a good chance of surviving a +2 Tera Fairy-boosted Draining Kiss from Calyrex-S or a Flare Blitz from non-Tera Fire Koraidon. Tera Dark sheds Galarian Moltres's Ice and Electric weaknesses, and the increased damage to its Dark-type STAB moves allow it to threaten an OHKO on Calyrex-I.
Galarian Moltres typically struggles against Pokemon that can reliably win the damage trade versus it like Raging Bolt and Zamazenta-C. Amoonguss is able to comfortably tank Galarian Moltres's attacks and retaliate with Spore. Miraidon and Urshifu-R are also problematic matchups for Galarian Moltres, as Miraidon is able to outspeed and OHKO it, while Urshifu-R takes minimal damage from Galarian Moltres and can hit it in return with a Surging Strikes. While Zamazenta-C is is a great check against Galarian Moltres, it is also an amazing partner. Galarian Moltres gives it speed control and strong super effective damage against the Ghost-types Zamazenta-C would typically struggle against while Zamazenta-C grants Wide Guard support for Galarian Moltres, allowing it to effectively counter Calyrex-I. Fairy-types that would try to counter Galarian Moltres like Flutter Mane and Tera Fairy Calyrex-S are also covered by Zamazenta-C's Heavy Slam. Rillaboom is able to deal with opposing Urshifu-R trying to take advantage of their Dark resistance, as well as overriding Electric Terrain from Miraidon and threatening an OHKO with Choice Band-boosted High Horsepower.
