Trivia
- Moltres is one of the two legendary Pokémon that is found in victory road in the generation it was introduced, the other Pokémon being Terrakion.
- Out of all legendary Pokémon found in the Pokémon games, Moltres's location has been moved the most.
- Before Generation III, Moltres was shown to have wings fully engulfed in flames.
- All of the Legendary Birds have a number in their name, although in Spanish. ArticUNO (One), ZapDOS (Two), and MolTRES (Three).
Etymology
It is uninformed that this is purposely made but the last syllable of each of the Legendary Birds is a number in Spanish (ex. Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres). Meaning "Artic-one", "Zap-two" and "Mol-three" respectively. Because of the pun, Moltres would be the third Legendary Bird. Also, Moltres' name could be hinting at the other two main fire type legendaries in the Pokémon games: Ho-Oh and Reshiram . because its name is Moltres, tres being Spanish for three, and Mol being the first syllable of Molten, Moltres could have been foreshadowing the appearances of Ho-Oh in Generation II, and Reshiram in Generation V.
