Etymology
It is uninformed that this is purposely made but the last syllable of each of the Legendary Birds is a number in Spanish (ex. Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres). Meaning "Artic-one", "Zap-two" and "Mol-three" respectively. Because of the pun, Moltres would be the third Legendary Bird. Also, Moltres' name could be hinting at the other two main fire type legendaries in the Pokémon games: Ho-Oh and Reshiram. because its name is Moltres, tres being Spanish for three, and Mol being the first syllable of Molten, Moltres could have been foreshadowing the appearances of Ho-Oh in Generation II, and Reshiram in Generation V.
