Quad weakness to Rock? Last time I checked Fire types were weak to Ground, not Rock. Which makes Moltres 2 x weak to Water, Rock and Electric, and now taking normal damage from Ice. And of course, now immune to Ground attacks. Of course, Entei also has 2 common weaknesses, being Ground and Water.

As for who's better, it's hard to say. Entei is overshadowed by the other two legendary dogs, and Moltres has a very limited movepool. I'd be hard pushed to use either to be honest. I'd say Entei then, because at least he's not a mixed sweeper like Moltres, therefore a little easier to use


Of course I'm Houndoom, I'm Toothache!
I get Crunch and Bite moves, tasty!

Fire is weak to rock ^^; So Moltres does have a quad x2 rock weakness. Entei also has a rock weakness. Fire type like ice is quite terrible on defense.

Another correction is that neither Entei or Moltres is a mixed sweeper. Moltres relies solely on special, because as if an aerial ace will really help Moltres out anyway. It's usually sunny day/overheat/HP Special/agility. Entei is the calmtei set, and very so rarely it does pack return, so Entei is more likely to mix sweep. But how hard can it be to see a special tanker and use return instead? Entei doesn't physical attack unless forced to, against something like, a Blissey or against Ninetales who suck up fire attacks and got too high of a special defense to break through before will o wisp or toxic kills you.

Meh, I should remember my type match-ups more carefully. I must have forgot Fire had a weakness to Rock, or else never encountered it (since Rock attacks are pretty rare).
