Pokemon Sword and Shield Galarian Moltres

With the Crown Tundra DLC, arrive a bunch of new amazing Pokemon. One of my favorite legendary birds is back; Moltres. The bird on fire, and looking as beautiful as ever.

Moltres is one bird that I’ve always wanted by my side throughout the Pokemon generations, and with the new touch-up in the Crown Tundra expansion, I couldn’t be more excited.

How to Catch Galarian Moltres

Throughout your progression in Crown Tundra, you will come across a large pink tree. You will be able to move onto the next step for catching the Galarian forms of the three Legendary birds; Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres.

Once you’ve triggered the cut scene exclusive to these legendries. Go to the Southern part of Crown Tundra at the Dyna Tree Hill.

The cutscene will show the legendary birds fighting each other. After this, you will be effectively able to catch all three birds.

They can be found roaming around the Galar mainland, Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra.

Moltres can be found on the Isle of Armor. You can easily catch up to the flying bird when it’s flying above land. Once you’re close enough, use the whistle/bell to get its attention and the battle will initiate.
