Moltres

Moltres (, Fire) is a creature in the media franchise.
==Origin==
 is a Fire/Flying-type introduced in , and is categorized within the Pokédex at #146 as the "Flame Pokémon". Along with Articuno and Zapdos, Moltres is part of a trio commonly referred to as the . Along with the other legendary birds, Moltres received a Dark/Flying-type Galarian form in Generation VIII
It is stated that every flap of its wings creates a dazzling flash of flames that can brighten the night sky, and it arrival signals the end of winter and beginning of spring. If Moltres is injured, it is known to dip itself in magma to heal itself. It's Galarian form creates a more sinister, but equally flame-like aura that can consume the soul of anyone who lays their eyes upon it, becoming burned-out shadows of themselves.
==In Super Smash Bros.==
===As a background character===
Moltres made a minor cameo in Super Smash Bros. as a background character. In Saffron City, very rarely, Moltres would fly by in the background.
==In Super Smash Bros. Melee==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
Moltres was introduced as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Melee. Moltres uses Fly as its attack. Moltres remains in the middle of the screen for a few seconds, then flies away. Any character that makes contact with Moltres will take 40% damage, and will be sent straight up and OHKO'd. There are some instances when touching Moltres in the air meteor smashes the player; however, this attack can be meteor cancelled off stage. These are the only instances where someone can survive touching Moltres under normal conditions (such as teching away from Moltres upon being hit with a meteor hitbox in the air). Moltres is a legendary Pokémon, so its appearance is rare. Moltres' attack does not harm the summoner.
===Trophy===
Moltres features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the trophies that can be collected randomly in the Trophy Lottery, though it only appears once all characters have been unlocked.
==In Super Smash Bros. Brawl==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
Moltres returns to Super Smash Bros. Brawl from Melee, keeping its old function. The main body of Moltres, upon being touched by a character, meteor smashes them with intense force, while the wings of Moltres send a character flying upwards, again with intense force. Just like in Melee, touching Moltres is still an invariable OHKO under standard conditions unless an airborne opponent touches Moltres' body over ground (and thus gets meteor smashed into the ground). Moltres is the only original Legendary Bird to return in Brawl. Moltres has been slightly buffed from Melee, as its body hitbox now meteor smashes instead of its wings, and since the opponent is more likely to make contact with its wings, this helps ensure against an airborne opponent surviving contacting Moltres by getting hit by the meteor smash hitbox over ground.

==In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
Moltres returns as a Poké Ball summon once again, and makes its cameo appearance in Saffron City.
Moltres cannot be summoned on Brinstar, Corneria, Find Mii, Jungle Japes, Reset Bomb Forest, The Great Cave Offensive, Tomodachi Life, Tortimer Island, WarioWare Inc., or Yoshi's Island.
===Spirit===
Moltres also appears alongside Articuno and Zapdos as a Legend-class primary spirit.
Moltres' Spirit Battle uses a red puppet fighter starting off with the Poké Ball containing Moltres, and is fought on the Find Mii stage's Battlefield form. He is fought along with the cyan and orange Lucas puppet fighters representing Articuno and Zapdos respectively. During the battle, the Lucas puppet fighters will reflect projectiles, referencing the Legendary birds' defensive abilities. The red Lucas puppet fire also frequently uses PK Fire, referencing Moltres' Fire type.
