GALARIAN MOLTRES

Keeping with the pattern of the previous two birds, Galarian Moltres drops fire typing, but retains its name because it gives an impression of fire, in this case a flame-like, gaseous aura said to consume souls and leave victims as "burned-out shadows." This sounds to me like it was supposed to be a ghost type, but they went with dark/flying here.

Either way, I'm not as into this one as the last two and I still think it's a truly lovely design. The curvier, more hooked beak, menacing little blue eyes and magenta-on-black palette are all just magnificently snazzy and formidable looking, perfectly rounding out the deadly looking new Articuno and Zapdos! I gotta say, the Galarian birds are pretty much perfect.
