Moltres Weakness and Strength

Moltres is a Fire and Flying type Pokemon with a raid boss CP of 41,953 and a Max Capture CP of 3,272. To counter Moltres, ideally you want to use Rock, Electric or Water type Pokemon. Make sure you look at the Pokemon you have available before you head into a Moltres raid. Golem is ideal if you have it because it can take advantage of the huge damage coming from Rock Throw and Stone Edge to exploit Moltres’ weakness to Rock.

Using Stone Edge from Tyranitar can also take advantage of Rock type damage, while Vaporeon with Water Gun and Hydro Pump or Gyarados with Hydro Pump can also deal a considerable amount of damage to Moltres. Omastar, another Rock type, and Feraligatr (a Water type) also work very well against Moltres.
