I said I wasn’t going to attempt this and ended up doing it anyway… 88 attempts.

Moltres hits ridiculously hard and as such we rely heavily on staggering. Staggering missing multiple times in succession is EXTREMELY punishing. Moltres can easily twoshot you with the higher base power moves. We run Unbending because Moltres has what is basically Defense Crush 9 so long as the sun is up.

As for damage ranges, two syncs will take out bar 1. Two buddy moves and sync will more or less take out bars 2 and 3, but finding the window to do so is difficult, especially on bar 2 where you also need to requeue Terrain before it runs out to keep charged immunity. We don’t want to get burned of course. Even worse is you REALLY need the flinches to pull through here because Moltres moving means it heals for around 4k, undoing a majority of damage your buddy move has done. Max Guard is a bit of a safety net but you also need to have a window to use it. Ideally you use G-Max Volt Crash and Sync to finish off bar 3 but that’s easier said than done.

On bar 3, Moltres will lower all your stats with every attack that lands which means our Haymaker nuke will get weaker every time it connects so again flinches need to come through. Red has headstrong on grid, but you’d likely have to give up a sync node for it which would make bar 2 a lot more difficult since you need that node for the damage range.

I have to usually queue another Thundershock if the first one flinches on the bar transition because weird mechanics with bar transition kinda mess with flinch duration. Sometimes it instantly wakes up unless you immediately queue a move and I’m not taking any chances.

With that being said I’m not only glad this is finally documented, but I’m also happy to announce that with this SSTRed has soloed every single LA!

    I'm still salty that I didn't manage to get him…
    If not using Thunderbolt Red, you REALLY have to get lucky with Weather changing MP Refreshes. Otherwise, the last thing your sync pairs will see are the flames of Moltres about to consume them…
