Along with [[Articuno]] and [[Zapdos]], Moltres is part of a trio commonly referred to as the {{iw|bulbapedia|legendary birds}}.


It is stated that every flap of its wings creates a dazzling flash of flames that can brighten the night sky, and it arrival signals the end of winter and beginning of spring. If Moltres is injured, it is known to dip itself in magma to heal itself. It's Galarian form creates a more sinister, but equally flame-like aura that can consume the soul of anyone who lays their eyes upon it, becoming burned-out shadows of themselves.
It can learn [[Fly]] in every game with {{iw|bulbapedia|HM02}}.

Moltres was introduced as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon in ''Melee''. Moltres uses Fly as its attack. Moltres remains in the middle of the screen for a few seconds, then flies away. Any character that makes contact with Moltres will take 40% [[damage]], and will be sent straight up and [[One-hit KO|OHKO'd]]. There are some instances when touching Moltres in the air [[meteor smash]]es the player; however, this attack can be [[meteor cancel]]led off stage. These are the only instances where someone can survive touching Moltres under normal conditions (such as teching away from Moltres upon being hit with a meteor hitbox in the air). Moltres is a legendary Pokémon, so its appearance is rare. Moltres' attack does not harm the summoner.

Moltres' Spirit Battle uses a red {{SSBU|Lucas}} puppet fighter starting off with the Poké Ball containing Moltres, and is fought on the [[Find Mii]] stage's [[Battlefield form]]. He is fought along with the cyan and orange Lucas puppet fighters representing Articuno and Zapdos respectively. During the battle, the Lucas puppet fighters will reflect projectiles, referencing the Legendary birds' defensive abilities. The red Lucas puppet fire also frequently uses [[PK Fire]], referencing Moltres' Fire type.
