Moltres (Japanese: ファイヤー Fire) is a dual-type Fire/Flying Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Along with Articuno and Zapdos, it is one of the three Legendary birds of Kanto.
Biology
Moltres is a large, avian Pokémon with orange or golden plumage. It has a long, flowing head crest and a billowing tail, both made of flames. Additionally, its wings are also shrouded in fiery plumage. Its straight, pointed beak is brown, as are its anisodactyl feet. It has short talons.
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 rarely seen by Trainers.
In the anime
In the main series
Major appearances

After watching the recklessly selfless actions of the newly evolved Talonflame and its Trainer, however, Moltres realized that Ash's group was not with Team Rocket, and left them in peace.

Moltres first appeared in Holy Moltres where it pursued and battled against Blaine and 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 Articuno and Zapdos to form a singular Legendary bird, but they separate once Sabrina is defeated and go back to the wild.

She used it and its fellow Legendary birds in the fight against Karen and Will, who were commanding the Masked Man's Ho-Oh and Lugia. She has not used any of them since, meaning they have probably been deposited in the box or released.

In the TCG
- Main article: Moltres (TCG)
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros.
Moltres made a cameo appearance in the Saffron City stage. Very rarely, it will fly by in the background.
Super Smash Bros. Melee/Brawl/3DS/Wii U
When released from a Poké Ball, Moltres will remain where it is released, flapping its wings. It will then use Sky Attack in Melee or Fly in Brawl to leave the arena. Any opponent that touches it will receive a sizable amount of damage. Moltres is the only 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. Sky Attack, the strongest of flying moves, is a perfect fit for this burning phenom, but it obviously also excels at powerful Fire-type 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 Sky Attack."
3DS/Wii U
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!
Game data
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team: Moltres resides on top of Mt. Blaze and challenges the player and partner when they trespass. After Moltres is defeated, it is convinced by the player's partner to allow them to pass through.

Trivia
- In Generation I, Moltres is the only member of the Legendary Birds to not be found in an optional dungeon. The Kanto Power Plant can be ignored entirely and the Seafoam Islands may be skipped by surfing south from Pallet Town, but Victory Road must be traversed to reach the Indigo Plateau (although the area where Moltres is found is optional). In the remakes FireRed and LeafGreen, Moltres was relocated to Mt. Ember on the Sevii Islands, which the player never needs to visit.
- In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Moltres is found in Mt. Silver, making it the only Legendary bird not to be found near its location in Pokémon Red and Blue in these games.
- Moltres is the only member of its trio that can't have super effective STAB against a Pokémon of its own type. Both Zapdos's Electric moves and Articuno's Ice moves are super effective against the Flying Pokémon.
- Moltres is the only one of the three Legendary birds to not appear in the original opening of the English dub.
- Moltres shares its category with Charmeleon, Charizard, Flareon, and Infernape. They are all known as the Flame Pokémon.
Origin
Moltres may be based on legends of firebirds such as the phoenix, the Slavic firebird, or the Bennu. It may also be based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 Suzaku, guardian of the South, which is not a true phoenix. It may also be based on a heron, because of their similarities in shape.
Name origin
Moltres is a combination of molten and tres (Spanish for three, indicating that it is the third in the series of Kanto Legendary birds). It may also derive from molt.
Fire is literally fire.
