Moltres Moves and Ability

The moves and ability are taken from the Pokemon's move overview video.

Ability: Flame Body

When a basic attack or move deals damage to opposing Pokemon, it leaves them burned and increases their burn counter.

Wing Attack

Has the user spread its wings and charge in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon.

Incinerate

Has the user hurl a fiery orb in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon. The higher the burn counter of the opposing Pokémon it hits, the more damage it deals. When this move hits an opposing Pokémon, that Pokémon's burn counter resets.

Heat Wave

Has the user exhale hot breath in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon and gradually restoring the user's HP for a short time. The higher the burn counter of the opposing Pokémon it hits, the more damage it deals. When this move hits an opposing Pokémon, that Pokémon's burn counter resets.

Sky Attack

Has the user spread its wings wide and attack with a powered-up dash in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon. When this move hits Pokémon from the opposing team, then for a short time, the more Pokémon from the opposing team the move hits, the more the user's Defense and Sp. Def are increased.

UNITE Move: Firebird Inferno

Has the user soar upward and unleash a blazing orb of fire toward the designated area, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon and maximizing their burn counter. After this move is used, the area around the opponents’ scorable goal zones will become visible to the user.
