 ===Origin===
-Like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Moltres is based on the legend of the {{wp|phoenix}}. However, Moltres is most likely based on either the phoenix of Persian legend, {{wp|simurgh}} or the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Slavic Firebird}}. Others claim that the bird is based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''{{wp|Vermilion Bird|Suzaku}}'', guardian of the South, and is not a true phoenix. Regardless, the Pokémon has a very similar appearance to both the phoenix and the Suzaku. It may also be based on a {{wp|swan}} or {{wp|Bennu}}, because of the similar shape of the neck and body, as well as many other {{wp|firebird}}s, such as the {{wp|three-legged bird}}.
