As a Raid Boss, the new legendary Pokémon Moltres is easy to defeat. Groups with fewer than five players have already defeated the Pokémon GO boss.
Since today (August 1st), you can find Moltres in Pokémon GO. It is a legendary monster and belongs to the bird trio, which is completed by Articuno and Zapdos. All three legendary birds will initially be released in Pokémon GO one after the other.
As trainers have already found out, Moltres is not difficult to defeat as an opponent. However, the choice of attackers plays an important role.
Moltres: Many Counter Options
The legendary fire bird Moltres has many possible counter Pokémon that can quickly take it down. Many trainers already have a Golem with rock attacks, while others have Tyranitar with “Stone Edge”. These monsters are well-suited as attackers.
We will also show you more good counter Pokémon such as Vaporeon or Gyarados in our guide. There you will also find out which movesets the attackers should have. Catching Moltres and Countering – This is how you defeat the legendary bird.
Many players have already suspected that the fight against Moltres would be much easier than against Articuno. The weak defensive stats of the Pokémon support this assumption.
On social media trainers report how easy the fight against Moltres has been for them. On Reddit , user Bigdaddycain89 writes that he and his trainer group defeated the fire bird in a trio. They used Golem and Tyranitar as attackers.
Our readers also report to us on Mein-MMO.de and our Pokémon Facebook page that the battles against the raid boss are anything but difficult.
Is it “good” or “bad”?
Here, opinions among players are divided. While some complain that the fight was far too easy for them, other trainers are happy that many have a chance at the Pokémon.
We believe that Niantic has found a good balance here. While the fight is not extraordinarily difficult, you won’t just “get” the Pokémon either. This way, everyone has a chance at this legendary Pokémon if they communicate and attack in groups.
