In [[Galar]], Moltres has a similar build, but a drastically different color scheme. Its body is primarily black with scarlet highlights and bright blue eyes. Its scarlet beak is hooked at the tip and leads to markings that run down its front and behind its head. Its feet are also scarlet with black talons. Its wings, crest, and tail are mostly black, with the crest having an extra curl at the front and the tail being split in two, and all three of these features exude a magenta, flame-like energy that earns it the name of its Kantonian counterpart. Its body apparently feels lukewarm to the touch. | In [[Galar]], Moltres has a similar build, but a drastically different color scheme.

The sinister energy that blazes from within its body is so oppressive that most Pokémon can't even approach it. {{rf|Galarian}} Moltres attacks by spreading its wings wide to unleash its energy in a powerful aura that attacks the minds of its foes, inflicting deep fatigue as it burns away their energy from within. The aura has the power to consume the spirit of its victims, reducing them to burned-out shadows of themselves. As seen in [[HZ022]], the only way to overcome the effects of its aura is to have a strong spirit. It is said to have a haughty personality and a calm demeanor. It is constantly migrating around the world but can be found in the [[Crown Tundra]] once every few decades congregating with the other birds at the [[Dyna Tree Hill|Dyna Tree]] to eat its fruits.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-moltres/ Galarian Moltres | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> | The sinister energy that blazes from within its body is so oppressive that most Pokémon can't even approach it. {{rf|Galarian}} Moltres attacks by spreading its wings wide to unleash its energy in a powerful aura that attacks the minds of its foes, inflicting deep fatigue as it burns away their energy from within.

=====Melee===== | |||
''As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return of this legendary Pokémon from its southern home.

=====Brawl===== | |||
''"A Flame Pokémon. It's one of the legendary bird Pokémon. When Moltres appears in a town, it is said that spring will come earlier there than in other towns. If Moltres is injured, it apparently returns to a volcano to heal its wings with magma. Moltres spreads its wide, flame-covered wings and attacks opponents with the exciting and highly damaging {{m|Sky Attack}}."'' | |||

It will use Fly when called into a Smash Bros. battle, flapping its orange wings and sending fire out around it. Getting hit hurts and could launch you so far, you'd make Moltres jealous. That isn't a good thing...'' | |||
'''PAL''': ''Moltres is one of the three Legendary Bird Pokémon of the Kanto region, along with Articuno and Zapdos. When spreading its huge wings and taking flight, it can make the flames all over its body burn even brighter. If you get hit by those flames during its Fly attack, you might go flying even further than Moltres! '' | |||
