Specially defensive Moltres excels in being a mixed wall thanks to its natural physical bulk and its ability as well as the investment in special defence. It is able to check and force out meta pokemon such as Enamorus, Gholdengo Iron Valiant, Kingambit. Its typing suits the metagame really well as it does well versus teams, and has key resistances to Moonblast and Make it Rain. Will-O-Wisp cripples physical attackers like Kingambit allowing Moltres to be even more effective as a mixed wall even with no investment. Roost ensures longetivity and is able to be used continuously to fish for flame body chances and gives Moltres extra health to U-Turn can be used for slow pivoting getting in teammates safely. Tera Fairy is for a immunity for dragon moves, while still keeping the resistance to fighting. It is also a better type for switching into stealth rock if Moltres' item ever gets knocked off. Tera water is used for a resistance to water, and is able to deal with both rain and sun teams. Heavy-Duty Boots is used to be immune to hazards to cover for Moltres' massive Steath Rock weakness. 248 evs in hp make Moltres as bulky as possible but it optimized to take the least damage possible from Steath Rocks. 248 evs in special defence allow Moltres to take hits better and is even able to avoid the 2HKO from Tera fairy Choice Specs Enamorus. 12 speed evs hits 219 speed which is able to outspeed max speed jolly Kingambit. Moltres is a good fit on balance teams, as burn is so useful for extending longevity of teammates and chip damage. Kingambit, Galarian Slowking and Great Tusk are good examples of a teammate for Moltres. Kingambit covers most of Moltres' weaknesses and appreciates its checks, Great Tusk and Zamazenta weakened. Moltres provides a ground immunity for Galarian Slowking and its ability regenerator allows Galarian Slowking to switch into hazards if Moltres ever gets knocked off. Great Tusk also covers Moltres' type weakness, and is able to clear hazards of the field that Moltres dislikes.
