As we now know, Legendary Pokemon are spawning in Pokemon Go. The Trainers around the world are putting their forces together, their strongest Pokemon and trying to battle and catch a Legendary during Exclusive/Legendary Raid Battles.
One of the Legendary Pokemon is Moltres, as one of the three Legendary birds, along with Articuno and Zapdos. Moltres is a Flame type Legendary Pokemon with flame-colored plumage and covered with a flame on his head and wings. So, pretty much it looks like a Phoenix.
Moltres is a very easy Pokemon to counter as a lot of Trainers have their Water Type Pokemon and Rock Type Pokemon from the latest event. According to Add_ikt and his spreadsheet, it will take only 2 or 3 Trainers to counter Moltres. Make sure you have Lvl 30 Pokemon and trust me, this will be challenging.
The spreadsheet that Add_ikt created compares moveset combo of all Pokemon, PowerxSpeed and how many Trainers are needed.
So, without further delay, here is the spreadsheet of only 9 Pokemon:
Pokemon | Fast | Charge | PowerxSpeed % | Number of Trainers |
Omastar | Rock Throw | Rock Slide | 100 | 2 |
Golem | Rock Throw | Stone Edge | 88 | 2 |
Tyranitar | Bite | Stone Edge | 76 | 2 |
Vaporeon | Water Gun | Aqua Tail | 69 | 3 |
Sudowoodo | Rock Throw | Rock Slide | 63 | 2 |
Kabutops | Fury Cutter | Ancient Power | 63 | 3 |
Kingdra | Water Gun | Hydro Pump | 62 | 3 |
Zapdos – (FYI observation) | Thunder Shock | Thunderbolt | 62 | 2 |
Dragonite | Dragon Breath | Dragon Claw | 61 | 3 |
Duo-Fight will be very difficult, but you can do it. In order to beat Moltres with only 2 Trainers, you will need 11 Golems (each Trainer), and throw Omastar with Rock moves.
For Trio-Fight, get 6 Golems/Omastars and then, change to Tyranitars and Vaporeon.
For last, if you don’t feel like rejoining and want to make a safe win, then the best way is to team up with 3 other Trainers (total 4), get 6 Golems/Omasters each. If you don’t have that many, then go for Tyranitars and only 1 Vaporeon.
Pokemon | Fast | Charge | PowerxPeed % | Number of Trainers without rejoining |
Omastar | Rock Throw | Rock Slide | 100 | 3 |
Golem | Rock Throw | Stone Edge | 88 | 4 |
Tyranitar | Bite | Stone Edge | 76 | 4 |
Vaporeon | Water Gun | Aqua Tail | 69 | 4 |
Sudowoodo | Rock Throw | Rock Slide | 63 | 6 |
Kabutops | Fury Cutter | Ancient Power | 63 | 5 |
Kingdra | Water Gun | Hydro Pump | 62 | 5 |
Zapdos – (FYI observation) | Thunder Shock | Thunderbolt | 62 | 6 |
Dragonite | Dragon Breath | Dragon Claw | 61 | 5 |
