Is Moltres just a weaker Ho-Oh?
both are not charizardsrepent
>>59159217Ho-Oh is still good while Charizard needs Game Freak handouts to stay relevant in this day and age. Shit, Ho-Oh is better than Lugia these days
What moves do I give to Moltres in Gen 2?
>>59159249Unironically Charcoal Fireblast hits some very important benchmarks in gen 2. Probably rest or sub, maybe see what Hidden Power it has
>>59159209They fill different roles. Moltres passively burns and focuses on special attacks while Ho-oh runs physical sets and relies on Sacred Fire for burns.
>>59159281>>59159335this, they actually did a decent job distinguishing ho-oh and moltres. Galarian moltres splits them further as well. I wouldn't mind base moltres (and base articuno and base zapdos) getting new abilities that were a little stronger, maybe swapping static/flame body/snow cloak for lightningrod/flash fire/ice equivalent of them. Extra immunities are always good and making them all boost their main STAB seems good to me.
>>59159357Static and Flame Body are perfect for how you play both of those Pokemon. They generally want to sit there and punish you for hitting them. Articuno could use something new, but there are so few ice-specific abilities for it to choose from.
>>59159281It doesn't say in detail what sort of Hidden Power it has.
>>59159249Sunny Day+Fireblast
>>59159375pretty sure moltres is more commonly a wallbreaker but I still personally would prefer them getting new abilities even if they weren't particularly good or whatever
>>59159209Moltres is a Special Attacker, Ho-oh is a fat fuck physical attacker
>>59159209No, it's a weaker Talonflame.
