In order to get Moltres in Indigo Disk, there are a few things that you will need to do:

• The first thing you will need to do to unlock the Moltres encounter is to complete the DLC's main narrative. The story will end once you catch Terapagos, which will then lead to a cutscene, followed by end credits. Once the end credits are over, you will be placed back in open-world exploration.
• You will now need to search for the NPC named Snacksworth, located at the entrance of Blueberry Academy. The NPC is unlocked only after you have completed the story. So when you encounter him, interact with him and he will task you to complete some Solo Blueberry Quests.
• After completing 20 of these quests, he will talk about a Legendary sighting (which is Moltres in this case), and then provide you with a Moltres Treat. The Treat is the key item that you will need to encounter the Legendary Pokemon.
• To be able to find Moltres, you will need to head to the desert and reach the centremost rock formation. You can check the exact location in the image above. Moltres can be found to the East of Porto Marinada.
• Once you encounter it on the rock formation, engage it in battle and capture it with a Pokeball once its health is low enough.
