Strategy:

  1. Locate the Egg: Towards the end of the Volcano course, you'll see a large, glowing egg resting in a lava pool.
  2. Hatch the Egg: Throw Pester Balls at the egg repeatedly. It will take several direct hits to crack and eventually hatch.
  3. Moltres Flies: Once hatched, Moltres will emerge and fly majestically around the volcanic chamber.
  4. Photography: This is your window to get photos. Moltres moves quickly, so be ready to snap multiple shots. Aim for centered, full-body photos as it soars. Throwing an Apple might make it briefly slow down or change direction.

Reward: A good photo of Moltres adds it to your Pokémon Report and contributes significantly to your course score.
