To begin your hunt for Galarian Moltres you'll need to venture back to the Isle of Armor, so open your map and fly to the Master Dojo.

Moltres flies all around the Isle of Armor, apparently in a predetermined path that covers multiple zones and even goes over the water. If you try to chase you will never catch up because Moltres moves faster than you, even if you are riding your bike. You need to predict Moltres' path and cut it off to trigger the encounter.

A good strategy is to follow Moltres until it makes its way to the Workout Sea. From there it eventually flies back to the beach in front of the Master Dojo. Wait for it there, then get in front of Moltres' path as soon as it returns to land.

Galarian Moltres is a powerful Dark/Flying type, so prepare accordingly before entering the battle.

To find the other two check out How to Catch Roaming Legendary Birds - Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres
