Moltres in Melee.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Moltres appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Melee. Moltres uses Sky Attack as its attack. Moltres remains in the middle of the screen for a few seconds then flies. Any character that makes contact with Moltres will take heavy damage and will die at low percentages. The character is forced to the top of the screen if he/she makes contact with Moltres. Moltres is a legendary Pokémon, so its appearance is rare. Moltres's attack does not harm the summoner.

As a trophy

Moltres features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:

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.

Moltres in Brawl.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Moltres returns to Brawl from Melee, but with its attack detailed. One would think that with the exclusive moves of Articuno (Blizzard) and Zapdos (Thundershock) from Melee, the motionless Moltres would simply use its burning body to perform Sky Attack. But the Dojo states that Moltres uses simply Fly. Either way, it performs the same move and notion as it did in Melee.
