3030 Moltres has the Fly specialty. If you speak to a Pokemon with the Fly specialty while using the Pokedex to search for another Pokemon, the Fly Pokemon can take you directly to that Pokemon's location. All three Legendary Birds share the Fly specialty, so once you build the Altar of Flame, you have another fast travel option.

4949 Lava Rock is the most difficult material to gather for this build. Focus on farming volcanic zones in the Arcanine Dream World, where Lava Rock deposits are most abundant.Gold Ingots require Gold Ore, which is rarer than Copper or Iron. Start mining Gold early if you plan to build the Altar of Flame.The Burn specialty is needed for the construction crew. Make sure you have a Pokemon with Burn before starting. Growlithe, Arcanine, and other Fire-type Pokemon often carry this specialty.The Altar of Flame creates a volcanic shrine with torches, lava elements, and heated stone. It looks best on elevated terrain or near warm-themed areas of your island.You can only build one Legendary Bird structure per day. Since Moltres requires the rarest materials, consider building it last so you have more time to accumulate Gold Ingots and Lava Rock.
