G-Moltres Screens
Grimmsnarl slaps dual screens with Prankster before most things move — Light Clay stretches that cushion so Moltres-Galar can sit behind halved damage and actually plot. Berserk flips a weakness into scaling: once you dip past half, your special attacks jump, and Nasty Plot turns those windows into runaway damage if they keep swinging into the bird.
Gameplan
Opening
Lead Grimmsnarl + Moltres when you expect setup or spread special pressure — Fake Out plus a fast Reflect/Light Screen often steals the tempo screen teams need. Spirit Break is there when you’d rather break a Calm Mind than set another layer.
Mid-game
Early Moltres plays are Fiery Wrath and Air Slash for damage plus flinch odds; Protect scouts doubles and buys Plot turns once screens are up. If you can safely Plot behind dual screens, you’re signaling that Urshifu or Flutter Mane will clean whatever survives the +2 sequence.
End-game
Urshifu-Rapid cracks steels and waters that laugh at Fiery Wrath, Flutter Mane covers faster special wars, and Safety Goggles Incineroar plus Rillaboom give you Intimidate, Fake Out, and terrain so Grimmsnarl isn’t your only answer to physical pressure.
