Moltres is a large, {{wp|Aves|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light yellow plumage. It has a long, flowing head crest and a billowing tail, both made of reddish flames. Additionally, its wings are also shrouded in fiery plumage. It has a long, thin neck, a pointed, brown beak, and small, triangular eyes. Its thin, brown legs have anisodactyl feet, with three forward-facing digits and one facing backward.


Moltres sheds embers with every flap of its wings, creating a brilliant flash of flames. By dipping itself into the magma of an active volcano, this Pokémon can heal itself. It migrates to the south with the coming of spring, and is said to bring an early springtime to cold lands. Moltres is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}} by Trainers.
Moltres sheds embers with every flap of its wings, creating a brilliant flash of flames. By dipping itself into the magma of an active volcano, this Pokémon can heal itself. It migrates from the south with the coming of spring, and is said to bring an early springtime to cold lands. There have been stories of Moltres using its wings to assist those lost in the mountains. Moltres is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}}. Moltres loves [[Moltres Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past.

[[File:146Moltres-Galar 2.png|left|thumb|200px|Galarian Moltres's aura]]
===In the movie adaptations===
Moltres has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Galarian}} Moltres.
{{main|Legendary birds (M02)|Moltres (M02)}}
Moltres plays a major role in the second [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. Likewise, it appears in the {{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth|manga adaptation}} of the film by [[Tanigami Toshio]].


===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
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.  
Moltres was mentioned in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'' where its flames represent the Indigo League.


===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
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|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', 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>
{{main|Legendary birds (Adventures)#Moltres|Moltres (Adventures)}}
Moltres first appeared in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'' where it pursued and battled against [[Blaine]] and {{adv|Red}}, it was also revealed that Team Rocket had captured it Indigo Plateau where [[Sabrina]] had obtained Moltres for [[Team Rocket]] during the [[Kanto]] saga, but it is not seen in battle. It is later combined with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}} to form a singular Legendary bird, but they separate once Sabrina is defeated and go back to the wild.


{{adv|Green}} later catches Moltres on [[Mt. Ember]] during her training journey to overcome her fear of birds. She used it and its fellow Legendary birds in the fight against [[Karen]] and [[Will]], who were commanding the [[Masked Man]]'s {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. She has not used any of them since, meaning they have probably been deposited in the box or released.
Galarian Moltres is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Fiery Wrath}}.
[[File:Moltres PM.png|thumb|left|200px|Moltres in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
{{left clear}}
 
===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
A Moltres appeared in ''[[GDZ12|Get Moltres?]]'' where it was a {{p|Ditto}} in {{m|Transform|disguise}}.
 
===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga===
Moltres appeared in ''[[GRT3|Goodbye to a Peaceful Village]]'', where it attacked [[Ginji]] and {{OBP|Mudkip|Ginji's Rescue Team}} because it believed that Ginji was destined to destroy the world.
 
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Moltres first appeared in ''[[PM032|The Legendary Moltres Appears!!]]'' where it was inside {{ka|Victory Road}} and fought a {{p|Kabutops}}.
 
Another one appeared in ''[[PM058|Get Lugia!]]'' where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} and {{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}} fought it to get the orb in order to summon {{p|Lugia}}.
 
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
A silhouette of Moltres appeared in ''[[PZ07|Saffron City]]''.
 
==In the TCG==
{{main|Moltres (TCG)}}
 
==Other appearances==
[[File:Moltres SSB.png|thumb|left|Moltres in Super Smash Bros.]]
[[File:Moltres SSBB.png|thumb|220px|Moltres in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Moltres makes a cameo appearance in the [[Saffron City]] stage. Very rarely, it will fly by in the background.
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]/[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|3DS/Wii U]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Moltres will remain where it is released, flapping its wings. It will then use {{m|Sky Attack}} in Melee or {{m|Fly}} in Brawl to leave the arena. Any opponent that touches it will receive a sizable amount of damage. Moltres is the only [[Legendary birds|Legendary bird]] to return in Brawl.
 
====Trophy information====
=====Melee=====
''As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return of this legendary Pokémon from its southern home. Its bright orange color and fiery aspect lends to its overwhelming appearance. {{m|Sky Attack}}, the strongest of flying moves, is a perfect fit for this burning phenom, but it obviously also excels at powerful {{type|Fire}} moves.''
 
=====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}}."''
 
=====3DS/Wii U=====
[[File:Moltres SSB4.png|thumb|240px|Moltres in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.]]
'''NA''': ''This Fire/Flying-type Pokémon is one of three Legendary birds in the Kanto region. 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! ''
{{-}}
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Moltres will return as a Pokémon summoned from the {{ball|Poké}}.

=====Melee=====
''As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return of this legendary Pokémon from its southern home. Its bright orange color and fiery aspect lends to its overwhelming appearance. {{m|Sky Attack}}, the strongest of flying moves, is a perfect fit for this burning phenom, but it obviously also excels at powerful {{type|Fire}} moves.''
=====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.

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! ''

It may also be based on the {{wp|Vermilion Bird}} of the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}}, which represents the element of fire and the direction of south. In addition, it may be based on a {{wp|heron}} because of their similarities in body shape.
 
As suggested by the Pokédex entries, the three legendary birds appear to be embodiments of {{wp|seasons}}, Moltres represents {{wp|spring}}, while {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}} represent {{wp|winter}} and {{wp|summer}}, respectively. {{wp|Autumn}} is however unrepresented.
 
Galarian Moltres appears to resemble a {{wp|cormorant}}. Its ability to make opponents fatigued with its aura may allude to {{wp|Occupational burnout|burnout}}, a psychological condition of which one of the main symptoms is exhaustion. Its {{Shiny}} coloration is similar to Kantonian Moltres's regular coloration.
