In-Depth Analysis
Moltres totals 580 across its base stats, profiling as a high-end Pokémon with strong numbers across the board. Lean on its Special Attack (125) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Special Defense (85).
Its Fire, Flying typing leaves Moltres with 3 weaknesses against 6 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for Rock moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 5 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Moltres a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
