Moltres's useful typing and decent bulk allow it to check various dangerous physical attackers such as Zacian-C, Groudon, and Hoopa-U. Nuzzle reliably slows down offensive threats and bypasses Good as Gold, whereas Glare paralyzes Ground-types and Covert Cloak users. U-turn allows Moltres to maintain momentum against Nuzzle or Glare switch-ins. Covert Cloak grants immunity to the secondary effects of moves like Nuzzle, Magical Torque, and Salt Cure; alternatively, Heavy-Duty Boots gives it an immunity to Stealth Rock. Dangerous wallbreakers like Miraidon are recommended to take maximum advantage of U-turn. Zacian-C is another good example, especially since Moltres can Imposter-proof Zacian-C. Moltres is threatened by powerful special attackers, like Miraidon, so a specially defensive Ground-type, like Ice Scales Groudon or Ting-Lu, is a strong partner. It's best to Imposter-proof Moltres with a teammate immune to Nuzzle and not weak to Torch Song, such as Miraidon or Ting-Lu.
