Galarian Moltres leverages Nasty Plot and Agility and a good STAB combination to become a fearsome setup sweeper that can break through special walls thanks to Nasty Plot. Agility allows Galarian Moltres to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame, and 208 EVs in Speed allows it to outspeed +1 Base 110s such as Ogerpon-W and Iron Moth. Sitrus Berry synergizes extremely well with Berserk, providing recovery in the middle of a sweep and potentially allowing Berserk to activate twice. Meanwhile, Tera Steel greatly improves Galarian Moltres’s defensive profile by turning its Fairy-, Ice-, and Rock-type weaknesses, such as attacks from Zacian-C and Kyurem-White, into resistances, while also helping it withstand priority moves like Extreme Speed from Arceus.
Galarian Moltres is essentially a hyper offensive exclusive, fitting best on Aurora Veil and Screens teams, where it can find more opportunities to set up safely. It relies on Gods that donate high Special Attack such as Kyurem-White or Mewtwo to allow it to actually be able to sweep. However, even so, it can struggle into the likes of Ho-Oh and Unaware Dondozo, so Galarian Moltres can be used either as a sweeper after the aforementioned checks have been chipped, or as a way to soften up said checks for teammates such as Polteageist and Mewtwo. Also, as Galarian Moltres is vulnerable to Stealth Rock, it appreciates teammates that can provide hazard control, such as Magic Bounce Hatterene, Rapid Spin Great Tusk, and Mortal Spin Glimmora.
