Moltres (ファイヤー, Faiyā, Fire in original Japanese language versions) is a fictional character in the Pokémon franchise. Moltres is one of the three winged mirages, along with Articuno and Zapdos. It is a large bird, noted for its ability to control fire. Moltres was one of many designs conceived by Game Freak and finalized by Ken Sugimori in Pokémon Red and Blue. Their names were changed in the English localization to give them more "clever and descriptive names." Moltres, for example, comes from a combination of the words "molten," relating to lava, and "tres," the Spanish and Italian word for three. Moltres first appeared in Red and Blue, and has since appeared in all main titles in the series since, notably in the Red and Blue remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Pokémon Platinum, and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Moltres also appears in Pokémon spin-offs, as well as in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It makes multiple appearances in the anime and manga, notably in the film Pokémon The Movie 2000.
