First addressing the resistances that Moltres possesses, there are seven different attack types that this specific Pokemon will deal less damage to.

With a group this size, and all players using powerful Pokemon, you should have no problem successfully completing this Five-Star Raid.
To increase your chances of success, we recommend increasing the damage of any attacks you are using in this Raid battle, and to do that, you’ll want to ensure that the attack type matches the type of the Pokemon using it.
