Moltres
The Legendary Moltres is headlining Tier 5 Raids in Pokémon GO, and beating it requires strong Rock type attackers that take reduced damage from its attacks.
Moltres can be caught in the following CP ranges:
- 1896 – 1980 (Level 20, no weather boost)
- 2370 – 2475 (Level 25, Sunny or Windy weather boost)
As a Fire and type Pokémon, it is double weak to Rock type attacks, so we recommend a minimum of 3 players to get the job done. Shiny Moltres is available in Pokémon GO!
