Best Moltres Raid Counters in 2022
Last month, Niantic unveiled the Pokemon Go July 2022 Roadmap. In the roadmap, Niantic unveiled the Legendary and Mega raids taking place during July. So far this month, trainers have had the opportunity to battle against Articuno and Zapdos. Now trainers will be able to battle the Legendary fire bird Moltres. The Moltres raid will be available from July 15th to July 22nd, 2022. Keep an eye out, because you might encounter a shiny Moltres if you beat the Legendary raid.

Moltres Raid Counters
Going into the Moltres Raid, trainers will need Pokemon with a high defensive stat and type effective attacks. Overall, Moltres is the second tier of the Legendary Bird Raids to take on in Pokemon Go due to its moves. The raid can be easily completed by a team of 3 to 5 trainers; a team of 4 to 6 trainers can take it down and a team of 6 to 20 trainers can shred through it making a better completionist bonus.
Using Mega Pokemon such as Mega Aerodactyl, Mega Blastoise, or Mega Ampharos will make the battle a lot easier for trainers’. Ultimately, you will want to use Rock, Water, or Electric-type Pokemon. Be careful, because the raid can be difficult if using Grass, Ice, Bug, or Steel-type Pokemon.
Here are the best counters to overcoming the raid. Some of these recommendations can be substituted out for Pokemon with type advantage or a better move set.
