2. ✨ Moltres's Ability and Basic Attack Mechanism
· Ability: Flame Body
· When dealing damage to an opposing Pokémon with a basic attack or move, it inflicts the 'Burn' status and grants a 'Flame Counter'.
· Flame Counters are required for using other moves and have good synergy with Gengar's 'Curse'.
· Boosted Basic Attack
· The 5th basic attack becomes a boosted basic attack.
· Not only does it increase damage, but it also reduces the cooldown of all moves by 1.
· This allows for using the same move 3 times in a row, similar to Azumarill's 'Triple Axel'.
· Using a boosted basic attack also charges the Unite Move gauge.
· Even before explaining the moves, it's clear that its base stats are very high.
