===History===
====Pre-series====
100 years prior to the events of the series, Lucius met and battled Moltres at an unknown rocky area before catching it in an . As one of Lucius's Pokémon, it became part of the Six Heroes, being known to "soar through the skies".
Finally having reached Laqua, the Explorers found themselves in trouble after Gibeon meddled with the Laquium crystals found in the paradise. The Six Heroes released themselves from their Ancient Poké Balls and tried to contain the crystals, but to no avail. Afterwards, Rystal's , Pagogo, transformed into its and gave some of its energy to the Six Heroes, allowing them to seal the Laquium away. As a result of this, Lucius was trapped in Laqua, Pagogo reverted into a dormant state, and the Six Heroes got scattered around the , with Moltres and its Ancient Poké Ball ending up in Galar.

Moltres debuted in Charge! Galar Mine!, where it appeared before Liko, Roy, Captain Pikachu, Zirc, and Onia at the Galar Mine. Having followed Kabu's directions, the Rising Volt Tacklers were expecting to find the Black Rayquaza, but signs of it actually being another Pokémon were piling up the further they went in. Enraged, Moltres overwhelmed every one of its opponents with ease, forcing Liko and Roy to retreat on a minecart after Captain Pikachu was injured. The Legendary Pokémon gave chase through the tunnels, but its focus moved towards Amethio and Friede after they attacked it, allowing for the young Trainers to flee. During the battle, Liko's Hatenna shed a tear, sensing an underlying feeling beneath its rage.
In Fiery Galarian Moltres, Liko, Roy, and Friede returned to the mine, this time planning to calm it down with 's aromatic instead of actually defeating it. Moltres, however, was still too far out of their reach, both physically and emotionally, for their plan to work. The tide of the battle shifted once Lucius's Arboliva emerged from its Poké Ball on its own. Initially, Arboliva tried to talk to it, but Moltres, still enraged, would not listen. Upon sensing Liko's determination, Arboliva activated its Ability, , powering up Sprigatito and allowing her aromatic Leafage to actually affect Moltres and calm it down. Now clearheaded, it talked with Liko's pendant, which transformed into , this time for good. Due to Terapagos's powers, the whole group witnessed a glimpse of the past, where Lucius said his last words to Moltres. Soon after, it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
In Lapras's Feelings for its Friends, Moltres and Arboliva emerged from their Poké Balls to see . After witnessing another glimpse of the past due to Terapagos's powers, one where Lucius promises they will reunite, they mourned together before returning to their Poké Balls.
In HZ068, Moltres, Lapras, and Arboliva came out of their Poké Balls in their own, wanting to test Liko, Roy, and Dot's strength as Trainers after the end of their Tera Training. Moltres faced Roy and and immediately used its , but its opponent avoided the oncoming lethargy by working up with . After exchanging a couple of equally powerful moves, Moltres used to lift Crocalor off his feet and immobilize it, but he managed to escape and unleashed a supereffective before stallizing. Moltres withstood the enhanced , but seemed content with Roy and Crocalor's strength and returned to its Poké Ball soon after.
In HZ074 and HZ075, all of the heroes gathered at that point came out of their Poké Balls and reunited with their long deceased friend, Rystal, who was summoned at the Crystal Pool by the Rising Volt Tacklers and Terapagos.
In HZ081, Moltres and the other heroes came out of their Poké Balls to reunite with . After it chose to join them, the five, alongside Pagogo, summoned the remaining hero: the Black Rayquaza.
In HZ084, Pagogo summoned Moltres from its Poké Ball to save the Rising Volt Tacklers from a and they encountered on their way up Kumuri Mountain.
===Personality and characteristics===
Moltres is extremely territorial, stubborn and was full of rage and aggression when it was first found. It wouldn't hesitate to unleash its wrath upon those that provoked it, but it has kind-hearted personality towards its Trainer, Lucius, clearly missing him even after 100 years. It proved to be honorable as seen when it accepted to join the Rising Volt Tacklers mission to search for Laqua, as well as testing Roy and Crocalor in a training battle.
