It is uninformed that this is purposely made but the last syllable of each of the Legendary Birds is a number in Spanish (ex. Artic'''uno''', Zap'''dos''', Mol'''tres'''). 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 Mol'''tres, '''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.
