My favourite new Pokemon 😍 my only gripe is that it doesn't get Roost to cycle Berserk... Team info is in the description, if you wanna try the opponent's Tapu Lele/Thievul team, check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/SJUKcTPvRV0/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MoxieBoosted
YO I found a new treat with Glastrier! Use Comfey along side it in doubles! Have Comfey use After You, on it in doubles, encouraging Glastrier to go immediately after instead of trying to tank until the end of the turn. It’ll likely kill something. Should it take any damage by the end of the turn, if Comfey has Triage you can use a healing move on it the following turn! It revolves on Comfey being able to act ASAP, but if it can, it could really help! Not perfect, but I thought you might wanna hear it!
Hey, Yveltal was already our bacon-bird, now we have our still-cooking turkey! Just goes to show: any Dark/Flying Legendary is meant to be food-themed, change my mind.
Just finished maxing my Galarian Moltres of the build in the description, named mine Darkness after the Tank in Konosuba, and caught it in a Luxary ball.
This video has really opened my eyes. On paper, 100 special attack is no longer all that impressive. Power creep has made sure of that. But the access to Nasty Plot + Berserk more than makes up for that. Its so easy to set up and turn Moltres into a nuke. In addition, the stat spread favours Moltres's defensive stats. It has especially amazing special defence. This means that setting up is even easier and the odds of surviving hits is higher, making Berserk more viable. I was turned off by the low attacking stat. I felt that damage output would never be enough to compliment the defences. This clearly is not the case. Just goes to show. Never judge a pokemon by its stats.
Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Clefable, Alola Ninetales, Venomoth, Azumarill, Pelipper, Crawdaunt, Scolipede and Diggersby are other examples to never judge by stats Thanks to their (hidden) abilities, and by extension movepools
throw a comfey in there, it can use draining kiss for the weakness policy(it has priority with its ability) and it can heal moltres for multiple berserk increases!
Zapdos was originally my favorite but now with the Regional Variants of the Legendary Birds Moltres is my favorite. you know what is a mean but effective strategy when using the original Articuno: Mind Reader Sheer Cold for the secondary moves i always run Ice Beam and Air Slash for STAB
Such a huge handicap for singles. The option would be nice for doubles, but you have other support options that can fill the role too so it's still super viable there
Hamiltrash 220207 I imagine that’s because GF wanted to ensure that they feel different and fill different roles on the team. That being said, still no reason why they shouldn’t get Roost. That’s basically their signature move.
@@peytonalexander5300 while that would make sense, they then contradict that by giving other regional forms moves like this, such as Alolan Marowak having earthquake or Galarian Slowking having scald. Both of these make no thematic sense for the mon, arguably less than the galar birds having moves for their original types. And while Zapdos definitely fills a different roll on a team, Moltres and Articuno sort of fulfill fairly similar roles to their original forms
Instantly I when I saw galarian moltres stats and ability, I knew it was bulky , weakness policy,max airstreamer. It’s just nice for a big you tuber to spread the greatness of it.
articuno was always my favorite legendary bird (design wise) so i’m glad to see it get some usage after all these years, especially after gen 4 when both it and moltres got fuck by stealth rocks (i’m a singles player), but god damn the new moltres design is incredible, it is a little edgy but but it is now probably my favorite legendary bird and at least top 5 favorite legendaries
I just played you on Casuals! I was the guy with Zoroark, Landorus, Cresselia & Dragonite. Recognized the nickname on your moltres and though oh god. But well played good win, I thought I had you at the start but you made some good switches. I made a massive mistake, I didnt realise Celesteela was a flying type, so chose earthquake for scarfed landerus (I'm new) but doubt it would have made a difference. Well played!
Thank you so much for making this vid for moltres Foofoo. because moltres has always been one of my favorite Pokemon and now the new form is amazing. I was scared that moltres won't be a strong or reliable Pokemon. After watching this I really want to try it out. Love the berserker ability.
Im sure this isnt your first time. People with empty skulls are easy to convince because anything fills their heads. Must be good to be devoid of your own ideas and opinions
I’m glad moltres is getting attention! He’s my fav, understand tho that the others are def better. His signature move isn’t as good, his ability isn’t as good, but he’s design? >>>> better than anything honestly
I definitely agree, though in doubles its signature move is awesome cos it hits both opponents and has a chance to flinch. I do think the other 2 are easier to use, but I think Moltres is still a massive threat. In singles there were a lot of things that could have been implemented better - it needs Roost for sure and Fiery Wrath is just a slightly better Dark Pulse when there's only one target which is underwhelming.
Little by little Foo's videos get longer... Which is fine because that means more time to see some awesome strategies. Thanks for showing me new ways to use my favorite Pokemon!
Shoutout to you! Love the content, currently using your galarian moltres team, it’s brilliant, just won against a forces of nature core with Tapu-koko, and made them disconnect on celesteela. Rofl, you’ve earned a sub and a fan! Looking forward to more great content!
Hey Foo! I had an idea for Moltres on Pokemon Showdown, a few days ago. On turn one, my Comfey uses Draining Kiss (Triage gives this +3 priority) and activates both Moltres's weakness policy and Berserk in one turn. Then, of course moltres can use fiery wrath, etc. Next turn, Comfey can use floral healing to heal all of the damage that was done. Thought it was neat and figured someone would come up with something similar. Love your vids! Edit: with Max spAtk nature, I believe the 3 stat boosts gives moltres 800 base spAtk if I remember correctly.
Not ValkyReee 😂😂 awesome work punping out these videos so quickly! Can't believe it doesn't get Roost though, that should be a staple for all Flying-types!
Hi Foo, I’ve been testing to a lot to great success. Bold nature Multiscale Dragonite with max EVs in HP and split defence and special defence holding weakness policy paired with prankster meowstic with sitrus berry and dual screens ally switch and expanding force. I also run the regielekie and tapu koko pair which baits our ground types and lightning rod users only to get smacked by dragonite. Not sure which ground type to run on my team but also have a kartana too which is good. I can clone them for you if you’re interested
Just found you and subbed. Your a cool youtuber and you taught me never too look down on Pokémon like moltres. Ofc my favourite is Zapdos but to see someone using this Pokémon makes me happy :)
Your videos make me want to get into competitive battling, and this makes me want to get into it even more! I love bulky Pokémon who can deal great damage! Plus Galatia’s Moltres’s design is just *too good.*
You know what would be a cool idea for a status move? A status move that changes which of your Pokémon, perhaps more so for double battles, benefits from certain status moves. Here's an example: In this battle, you used Leech Seed on an opposing Pokémon. What this new move would do is let you change which of your Pokémon benefits from Leech Seed. This way, instead of Celesteela having their health restored by the Leech Seed placed onto the opponent, it would restore the health of your Galarian Moltres. Additionally, you could use Leech Seed again to this time restore the health of Celesteela.
@@louiesatterwhite3885 Out of curiosity, does that effect also work with which Pokémon has a target trapped by moves like Whirlpool, Fire Spin, and Infestation? If not, then I would want this hypothetical move to do that, too. I'm only adding this because I hadn't thought about what other moves besides Leech Seed that I would want this hypothetical move to affect. I think that it was late at night when I initially wrote this comment, but I'm not sure. For example, you have a weakened Claydol who had attacked an opponent with Sand Tomb, trapping them, and your other Pokémon was knocked out, causing you to send out let's say a Charizard. You could have Claydol use this status move to have Charizard be the one trapping the opponent with Sand Tomb instead of Claydol since it's at low health.
Good idea for a pokemon. However its missing roost which would compliment its ability. Its also missing tailwind for speed control. Would have been great to see him with those to moves in his move pool. Dark bird typing is outstanding and i love that about him and i love his bulk. He also has berserker which again if he had roost would be insane.
Nice video as always man ! If I can tell you a thing , tapu Koko used nature madness but berserk didn't activate, try to have a even number in hp for situations like these . GG anyway
Wow! I like this Galarian Moltres set you have! It makes good use of its stat spread and shows what it's capable of when compared to Galarian Articuno and Zapdos! Personally though, I thought it would've been cool if it could learn Roost for possibly a defensive set with that 125 base Special Defense, especially in Singles. Also, I'm looking forward to your Regidrago vid! I like its round design and chose it over Regieleki! Its stat spread is weird compared to its counterpart though, and with a shallow movepool, I'd love to see what you came up with.
Just taking a guess at that Porygon 2 set, I think they wanted to have natural bulk but an offensive spread. So they probably ran EVs in Special Attack with a defensive nature + eviolite. That might explain the odd balance it had.
I'm sooo glad Moltres got more attention! It has always been my favorite in both forms, and now even more, not only because it's new type is my favorite one, but even 'cause the design is simply amazing! Plus, the fact that is so underestimated compared to the others, makes me love it a little more...Idk why-
I love the new Moltres so much but when I saw its stats I was a little nervous because it's not as offensive as I prefer, plus Berserk doesnt seem like as good an ability as Competitive, but this puts a lot of my fears to rest. Thanks for the ideas! Also I gotta note, my character wears all dark type colors in the pink suit and black vest with the pink and black bucket hat so Moltres fits my aesthetic perfectly lol
Great content as usual! I have to try one. Game Freak should have definitely given it another move though: Oblivion Wing :D OK, it would be completely broken with its bulk + Berserk
I just found your channel and I’m loving it! I’m always theory crafting and trying something that is anti meta. Have you ever looked into the electrify move on boltund or heliolisk? There’s all sorts of fun stuff you can do with that.
Volt absorb / lightning rod with a normalize entrainment and electrify perhaps? However I don't think any normalize mon can entrainment. So you'd have to let them die then do a receiver passimian or something
I love all 3 birds but I think Articuno is my favourite. It helps that I got an amazing one in my first encounter, so yeah I guess I'm biased. 0 Attack Modest in a Dream Ball.
@@foofootoo Got all my legends in Apriballs etc. Heavy ball Cobalion, Level ball Terrakion, Friend ball Virizion, Lure ball Keldeo, Level ball Zapdos etc. Loving this DLC so much!
It's such a good dynamax candidate thanks to its good bulk, berserk works perfectly with dmax, and max darkness is perfect for a special attacker. I was hoping though that the galarian birds get coverage move from their original types
im using moltres in a hailstorm team with aurora veil and use either nasty plot or agility depending on the oppenents stats. u can easily tank a very effective move with it to go +5 in a single turn which is dam impressive
what I actually ended up doing was using a substitute set on the galarian moltres so comfey would use draining kiss to take off roughly 30% of moltres health then substitute would take moltres below 50% activating both its weakness policy and berserk giving me a plus three then I activate dynamax on moltres and use floral healing with comfey.
A tapu fini with heal pulse and nature's madness could work for maximum berserk activation but the +3 priority from triage seems miles better, I never would have thought of it
I personally ran galarian moltres with a pokemon that had discharge in order to activate its weakness policy and berserk at the same time while its in dynamax. Of course I had to spec it so that it would do enough damage, but I still did it and tore holes in enemy teams.
the problem with moltres is its speed stat, combined with no recovery. if it had roost, it could take advantage of berserk to get 2 or more boosts off but as it stands it still requires nasty plot+ agility to sweep, and thats if u survive to get both off
I love gmol so much, it's like mini yveltal with its excellent defensive typing and natural bulk. Despite this, it still works better as a setup sweeper like you've got because it lacks defog and instead got access to agility, nasty plot, and its great ability. All in all I was surprised by how much I've been using it and how good it's been. Like you said, zapdos seems much better and more splashable on paper and it probably is. EDIT: also I dare you to go down to 393 hp on moltres for the subtle yet optimal extra switch in on rocks
This team is so cool! Galarian Moltres is my favorite out of the three birds, and I would love to try this out. It might he useful against my cousin's full regi team, lol
That last battle though! Non-believer: Moltres, you are facing 4 of the strongest legendaries in all of creation. Give up already. Moltres: Then it is a fair fight indeed.
Small suggestion which might help getting Beserk to go off easier, I know this sounds crazy but I noticed that your Moltres had Max HP and that it had an odd HP stat at lv50. Have you thought about perhaps taking 8 points out of hp and putting them in another stat(s) instead to get a nice even HP number for battles?
Foo, do you think there could be some Regigigas strats with Runerigus or Cofagrigus? use wandering spirit/mummy to change abilities with the opposing pokemon and hit it with regigigas, getting rid of slow start?
lol I tried to have a mew use super fang on moltres to activate berserk and nasty plot, didn’t really work but was cool none the less. Btw I choose mew because it could psych up and copy those epic stat boosts on moltres and reflect just to increase its slightly worse defensive stat. Mew had psychic to use those stat boots btw
My favorite original bird was always Arcticuno, but with the Galarian forms I absolutely love Moltres, he is easily one of my favorite legendries of all times.
What if there was a new ability that let a pokemon still move if it fainted that same turn, it would help counter sweepers because outspeeding wouldn't save the attacker
I prefer to use this set: Moltres-Galar @ Focus Sash Ability: Berserk EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Fiery Wrath - Air Slash - Nasty Plot - Agility You try to use Agility and Nasty Plot to sweep. If opponent breaks sash you get +1 Sp. Attack from Berserk so anyway you have good start.
Doing my playthrough on my channel and on the last one I have recorded I caught Galarian Moltres and it is honestly so GOOD!! I love its moves and its looks too!
Dark fire with levitate would be nice or a new ability that allows non flying type to have the flying typing as well. Steel worker for flying types + levitate (flying immunities) would be interesting and all 3 birds could have got them.
Hey Sam, it's been a while since I commented. Are you planning to play any draft leagues this gen, now that all DLCs have been released? Your post-comms remind me of your old draft league plays.

Quick question is there any reason as to why Cinderace isn't g-max?
Title: DON'T underestimate Galarian Moltres
Me who took 20 minutes to catch it: never did.
xD
I used pokeballs cause the colour matches so it took me about 40 mins

@@p0oka261 why did you put your self through that lol

Galarian Moltres has the coolest design out of the three.
I agree!
I honestly think zapdos has the coolest design
I also agree, also it has my favorite type
I agree. Such a shame it didn’t get roost. Could have been a Mandibuzz 2.0
Wow, that sure is a funny way to spell Galarian Articuno
you are the most important poketuber to me, never stop innovating man.
I'll try not to run out of ideas xD
The sad part is as much as he innovates, since he isn’t a top worlds vgc player not as many know about his things
It can put a lot of pressure to ask that.
You might like wolfeyvgc too, he has some pretty creative sets and has some pretty fun pokemon analysis that I find really helpful
@@foofootoo imma have to subscribe to this channel
“Quite early in the match” for doubles dynamaxing on the second turn is late if anything

Zapdos was originally my favorite but now with the Regional Variants of the Legendary Birds Moltres is my favorite.
you know what is a mean but effective strategy when using the original Articuno:
Mind Reader
Sheer Cold
for the secondary moves i always run Ice Beam and Air Slash for STAB
Though with Sub and Roost in gen 6 and a support with gastroacid to counter Sturdy it was unbeatable
I almost got absolutely shredded by this thing in 3v3 singles and knew I needed your analysis asap!
Tbh I think it is definitely better in doubles, but with its bulk and powerful Max Moves it can be tricky in any format
@@foofootoo It definitely likes the support. I didn't expect it to have such high spdef, it tanked a hit from my specs regieleki!
Always knew my flamboyant flaming flyer would be a force to be reckoned with
Clown tundra not giving moltes roost 😭
Such a huge handicap for singles. The option would be nice for doubles, but you have other support options that can fill the role too so it's still super viable there
And heat wave would be phenomenal on it but none of the birds get moves for their original typings for some reason

Wow! I like this Galarian Moltres set you have! It makes good use of its stat spread and shows what it's capable of when compared to Galarian Articuno and Zapdos!

And after that battle seeing how fast moltres can boost and become a huge threat I’m gonna try and get a team around him aswell, unreal mon
I'm sooo glad Moltres got more attention!
It has always been my favorite in both forms, and now even more, not only because it's new type is my favorite one, but even 'cause the design is simply amazing!
Plus, the fact that is so underestimated compared to the others, makes me love it a little more...Idk why-
I love Galarian moltres and now this boy is now a NUKE!!!! Thank you!!
You AND Emvee? Wow this is gonna be good
Great minds think alike
Fools never differ
You can decided which one applies lol
I love the new Moltres so much but when I saw its stats I was a little nervous because it's not as offensive as I prefer, plus Berserk doesnt seem like as good an ability as Competitive, but this puts a lot of my fears to rest. Thanks for the ideas!
Also I gotta note, my character wears all dark type colors in the pink suit and black vest with the pink and black bucket hat so Moltres fits my aesthetic perfectly lol
Great content as usual!
I have to try one. Game Freak should have definitely given it another move though: Oblivion Wing :D
OK, it would be completely broken with its bulk + Berserk
Please do a video on Alcreamie and its signature move decorate which sharply raises attack and Special attack.
Foofoo did that near the beginning of Sword and Shield.
I just found your channel and I’m loving it! I’m always theory crafting and trying something that is anti meta. Have you ever looked into the electrify move on boltund or heliolisk? There’s all sorts of fun stuff you can do with that.
Volt absorb / lightning rod with a normalize entrainment and electrify perhaps? However I don't think any normalize mon can entrainment. So you'd have to let them die then do a receiver passimian or something
I love all 3 birds but I think Articuno is my favourite.
It helps that I got an amazing one in my first encounter, so yeah I guess I'm biased.
0 Attack Modest in a Dream Ball.
Dream Ball Articuno o.o that sounds awesome!
@@foofootoo Got all my legends in Apriballs etc.
Heavy ball Cobalion, Level ball Terrakion, Friend ball Virizion, Lure ball Keldeo, Level ball Zapdos etc.
Loving this DLC so much!
It's such a good dynamax candidate thanks to its good bulk, berserk works perfectly with dmax, and max darkness is perfect for a special attacker.
I was hoping though that the galarian birds get coverage move from their original types
im using moltres in a hailstorm team with aurora veil and use either nasty plot or agility depending on the oppenents stats. u can easily tank a very effective move with it to go +5 in a single turn which is dam impressive
what I actually ended up doing was using a substitute set on the galarian moltres so comfey would use draining kiss to take off roughly 30% of moltres health then substitute would take moltres below 50% activating both its weakness policy and berserk giving me a plus three then I activate dynamax on moltres and use floral healing with comfey.

@Shasvin Puvanesvaran alright now you fixed it so i can say, no U
@Zackary Uljua I kept the og name but I refer to mine as Sky Noodle
-The boss when you fight him: Yveltal
-The boss when you unlock him as a playable character: galarian Moltres
Hey, it hits like an alcoholic stepdad either way. You look at that plus FIVE Sp. Atk boost and tell me it isn't a monster lmao.
You (insert Kanto Moltres) vs the guy she tells you not to worry about (insert Galar Moltres).
A tapu fini with heal pulse and nature's madness could work for maximum berserk activation but the +3 priority from triage seems miles better, I never would have thought of it
I personally ran galarian moltres with a pokemon that had discharge in order to activate its weakness policy and berserk at the same time while its in dynamax. Of course I had to spec it so that it would do enough damage, but I still did it and tore holes in enemy teams.
the problem with moltres is its speed stat, combined with no recovery. if it had roost, it could take advantage of berserk to get 2 or more boosts off but as it stands it still requires nasty plot+ agility to sweep, and thats if u survive to get both off
So you did the evil fire chicken, that laser angry bird that's now a pokemon, so now can you give a little love for the yellow spiky haired emu next?
Maybe, Zapdos seems a bit more straightforward compared to the other 2 so idk how much I can innovate with it
@@foofootoo Would there be a funny strat with defiant?
@@foofootoo ok
I love gmol so much, it's like mini yveltal with its excellent defensive typing and natural bulk. Despite this, it still works better as a setup sweeper like you've got because it lacks defog and instead got access to agility, nasty plot, and its great ability. All in all I was surprised by how much I've been using it and how good it's been. Like you said, zapdos seems much better and more splashable on paper and it probably is.
EDIT: also I dare you to go down to 393 hp on moltres for the subtle yet optimal extra switch in on rocks
This team is so cool! Galarian Moltres is my favorite out of the three birds, and I would love to try this out. It might he useful against my cousin's full regi team, lol
That last battle though!
Non-believer: Moltres, you are facing 4 of the strongest legendaries in all of creation. Give up already.
Moltres: Then it is a fair fight indeed.
Small suggestion which might help getting Beserk to go off easier, I know this sounds crazy but I noticed that your Moltres had Max HP and that it had an odd HP stat at lv50. Have you thought about perhaps taking 8 points out of hp and putting them in another stat(s) instead to get a nice even HP number for battles?
Foo, do you think there could be some Regigigas strats with Runerigus or Cofagrigus? use wandering spirit/mummy to change abilities with the opposing pokemon and hit it with regigigas, getting rid of slow start?
moltres was always my fav legendary bird, thought it had the coolest design too. glad to see 20 years later, doing justice
Imagine being the opponents, watching these battles. Keep it up Foo!
I love your sets! Would like to see more singles though
lol I tried to have a mew use super fang on moltres to activate berserk and nasty plot, didn’t really work but was cool none the less. Btw I choose mew because it could psych up and copy those epic stat boosts on moltres and reflect just to increase its slightly worse defensive stat. Mew had psychic to use those stat boots btw
My favorite original bird was always Arcticuno, but with the Galarian forms I absolutely love Moltres, he is easily one of my favorite legendries of all times.
Hi! Love your content
I literally cannot decide which new legendary bird I like better 😭 They’re all so good!!
Love this thing’s design and it’s stat spread, it’s interesting
All the birds are crazy with their stats, maybe that's why they can't learn much moves
What if there was a new ability that let a pokemon still move if it fainted that same turn, it would help counter sweepers because outspeeding wouldn't save the attacker
I prefer to use this set:
Moltres-Galar @ Focus Sash
Ability: Berserk
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fiery Wrath
- Air Slash
- Nasty Plot
- Agility
You try to use Agility and Nasty Plot to sweep. If opponent breaks sash you get +1 Sp. Attack from Berserk so anyway you have good start.
Doing my playthrough on my channel and on the last one I have recorded I caught Galarian Moltres and it is honestly so GOOD!! I love its moves and its looks too!
You stole my idea of using weakness policy jkjk but I didn't expect it to snowball so hard with Nasty plot
Agreed! Galarian Moltres has to be my favorite of the legendary birds.
Great video Foofootoo!
Remember when i asked you if you could do Iron Fist or Adaptability for Electivire and Sheer Force for Magmortar?
I can’t wait for Foo to do a video on Regieleki and idk, Soak Inteleon or something crazy.
I feel like galarian moltrea got robbed of few attacks. He should have will-o-wisp and magical flame
I just wish moltres was dark fire, oh well still the best designed legendary in the tundra.
Just kinda reminds me of a yveltal 2.0
Dark fire with levitate would be nice or a new ability that allows non flying type to have the flying typing as well. Steel worker for flying types + levitate (flying immunities) would be interesting and all 3 birds could have got them.
Now we wait for next gen for it to get heat wave, glare for para flinch, and of course roost when the tm comes back with sinnoh remakes possibly.
What are the evs of your Moltres precisely?
Love your content btw x
Hey Sam, it's been a while since I commented.
Are you planning to play any draft leagues this gen, now that all DLCs have been released? Your post-comms remind me of your old draft league plays.
