Special Sweeper Moltres (Pressure)
Moltres is a legendary Special Sweeper. It's meant to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. White Herb will reset Moltres's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Overheat). With Pressure, if Moltres is the target of a move that move loses one additional pp.
♦ Overheat is a special STAB-boosted 140-base power Fire-type move (lowers your Moltres's special attack by 2 stages). ♦ Flamethrower is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target). ♦ Extrasensory is a special 80-base power Psychic-type move (10% chance to flinch the target). ♦ Morning Sun is a status move (heals your Moltres by a weather-dependent amount). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Moltres this turn).
