Moltres power up poll

Since you missed Entei, even a 82% Moltres is probably worth powering up, but might as well wait for Community Day to find out how good Charizard will be with an exclusive charged move.

You might want to focus on community day Charizard depending on your rare candy stocks, it will be budget moltres with same typing.

do you have 200 rare candy lying around, or only 50?

do you have 500,000 stardust lying around, or only 100,000?

Regardless of IV it's not worth powering up until we see how good Charizard is with the CD exclusive move.

No.

I maxed mine up last year...it's been almost a year. I used my Moltres for:

1. Venasaur Boss
2. Victreebel Boss
3. 1v1 Solo Pinsir/Scyther Challenge
4. Solar Beam Groudon, especially in Sunny weather
5. Occasional Blissey fight in Sunny weather

None of the above, except for probably Solar-beam Groudon, is meta-relevant.

And since Charizard could be pretty strong if it gets a powerful Blast Burn, and that Gen 4 is coming with a lot of strong Fire-types, powering Moltres from L15 up at this point of time is quite risky. If you really need a Fire-type, go get a Flareon. It's cheap in high level Eevee and doesn't require Rare Candy

Moltres could be useful when the titans drop as bosses. But you can always save the candy now and wait it out. You don't NEED a fire type to fight the current bosses, unless you are targeting Tier 3/4 bosses that are weak to fire.

I can't remember the last time I've used a fire type in a raid. Have a trip down memory lane:

Beasts- you can't use fire for any of them
Ho-Oh- you can't use fire
Groudon- possibly the first case where fire is usable but this coincided with the gyarados buff, so why moltres/any fire type?
Kyogre- fire unusable
Rayquaza- fire unusable
Lugia Mk 2- fire types usable if not HP but again, why?
Lati Twins- fire unusable yet again

So yeah that sums up the usability of fire types in pokemon go raids.

Like others have said id wait but its up to you ultimately. Like if you have a ton rare candies and dust that you can use up to no avail, and if you really like Moltres than go for it.

It really depends on what you are looking for. If you care more about having the absolute best attackers, then probably not. There will be better or equal attackers that you can get for a lot less of an investment. If you really like Moltres and want to have a powerful one, then definitely power it up. You don't have to make it your top priority, but after waiting this long for a Moltres, do you really just want to let it sit at level 15? This is still a game, so I say just do whatever is going to give you the most enjoyment.

I would wait. They will likely bring back Moltres later, plus that Charmeleon will make for a great Charizard assuming it gets Blast Burn.

Figured I might ask a similar question here. Should I power-up Moltres, and which one should I power up?
I also have 4 lvl 15 Moltres. My best 3:
- 13/15/15 (atk/def/sta). Charge move Fire Blast
- 15/15/10. Charge move Heat Wave
- 13/10/13. Charge move Overheat

This won't be for at least a few months, as getting enough Moltres Candy to level up Moltres will take a long time. I rarely raid, and only solo raids. I have 27 Moltres Candy. Also have 2 rare candy and 1 charged TM. I have about 190,000 stardust, enough to power-up Moltres to lvl 35, but don't walk around enough to quickly generate candy (on average <1km a day on PoGo). My trainer lvl is 34, nearly 35.

My current best Fire-type is Arcanine, CP 2524, 14/12/15, Fire Fang and Flamethrower - back from the days where Arcanine had one of the best CPs in the game.
