CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

Moltres crosses the sky with wings that scatter flames at every beat. The Pokédex describes it as a bird capable of controlling fire, but also attributes a spectacular way of healing to it: when injured, it is said to bathe in a volcano’s magma. Its glowing silhouette can light up the night. In the stories that follow it, fire is therefore more than a weapon; it accompanies its flight, survival and recovery of strength.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Shield reports that Moltres’s blazing wings have lit paths for people lost in the mountains. The same fire that can frighten thus becomes a landmark in the darkness. The entry uses the form of a passed-down story, without identifying the travellers concerned.
