I would consider air slash on the annoying substitute set depending on your team.
Moltres is in a decent speed tier and flinching almost every other turn while getting leftovers recovery and the opponent getting toxic or burn damage is nice for stall. Especially if your team already has options for steel types.
Flame body is often preferably to pressure if you don't have will-o-wisp since your opponent is likely to be using attacking moves other than stone edge or rock slide. A lot of threatening UU mons rely heavily on contact moves (Zeraora, Bisharp, Haxorus, Swampert etc.)
Oh definitely you want flamethrower in OU, its dominated by steel types. Flame body has fewer nice targets in OU as well. But in UU air slash has some nice options and goes well with flame body.Flamethrower is key to dealing with Mega Mawile in particular, who is a huge threat towards stall. Pressure is also important for dealing with Heatran and Clefable, as well as potentially stalling out Stone Edges from Tapu Bulu and slower Landorus-Therian variants. While both Air Slash and Flame Body are options to consider if you're running Moltres in UU (or another tier where these threats aren't present), in OU he really can't afford to run either one of them, otherwise you're better off using a more conventional Pokemon entirely.
Would be pretty awesome. Zapdos is the only one of the three still finding consistent usage. Moltres is just completely outclassed by Mega Charizard Y in almost anything it does, except trying to be physically defensive as Moltres is physically bulkier. Charizard gives weather control, is faster, and hits way harder.Your Articuno is no match for my Mega Ultra Chicken
Okay but seriously, Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno having elemental forms like this image above of a god card changing forms. How cool would that be! Also I've always wanted to see Thu-Fi-Zer work in competitive somehow.

I think Ancient Power deserves a mention, even though it's weak and unreliable.
