The legendary birds, Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno, have been around in Pokémon GO for years. These are powerful fighters for players to take into gym or raid battles, but they are best utilized when players know which moves to equip them.

Moltres is a Fire and Flying-type Pokémon. This means that most of the Pokémon's best moves will also be Fire or Flying-type. There is a long list of available moves for Moltres, but only a few stand above the rest as truly powerful. It is important to note that Sky Attack, one of Moltres' most powerful Charged Attacks, can only be obtained, at the time of writing, by using an Elite TM.
