Best teams for Moltres and Shadow Moltres in Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO players have always been very fond of the three legendary birds from Kanto. Moltres, one of the three birds, is an extremely glassy Pokemon. This means that it cannot tank a lot of attacks from its enemies due to its low Stamina. However, it can dish out an extremely high amount of damage if you line up the Pokemon for your matchup in this legendary critter's favor.

In this article, we will take a look at the best teams that you can play around Moltres to have an amazing performance with this legendary bird in the GO Battle League.

The best team for Moltres in the Great League:

• Shadow Moltres in the Lead
