Moltres (21/53) from the Wizards of the Coast Black Star Promos set is a Fire-type Basic Pokémon card with 70 HP and a single Colorless energy retreat cost. Released in 1999 as part of the theatrical promotion for Pokémon: The First Movie – Mewtwo Strikes Back, it is a non-holo promo card illustrated by Toshinao Aoki. The card features no weakness but has resistance to Fighting-type attacks (-30 damage), making it resilient in early-game matchups.

Its only attack, "Hyper Flame" (60 damage), includes a high-risk coin flip mechanic: on heads, it discards one Fire Energy attached to Moltres; on tails, it discards all attached Energy cards. If no Energy can be discarded, the attack fails. This unpredictable effect adds strategic tension, requiring careful energy management. As a Basic Pokémon, it evolves from no prior stage and is part of a legendary trio promo that includes Articuno and Zapdos.
