Is Moltres good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Fire Spin on Moltres (30th Celebration), doing 130 for 3 Energy. The bulkiest version is Team Rocket's Moltres ex with 220 HP, but it gives up 2 Prize cards when Knocked Out. Watch out for Water and Lightning attackers — that's its weakness.
