===Physiology===
[[File:643Reshiram-Activated.png|thumb|left|200px|Reshiram in its {{form|Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode}}]]
Reshiram is a white-colored, bipedal Pokémon of  seemingly draconian and mammalian basis, with some of the avian features of feathers. Reshiram's snout is mammalian in appearance, most resembling something vulpine or even canine, or possibly even a goat. Streaming out from the upper side of the snout and outward from the head is a long, voluminous wispy mane, the top of which forms a spike or small head-crest of some sort. Reshiram's face is fringed with spiky features, with one small, pointed extension of it below the chin.
Reshiram is a white, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with draconic, avian, and mammalian traits. A long, voluminous wispy mane streams out from the upper side of the snout and outwards from its head. The top of this mane is adorned with two protrusions resembling ears. Reshiram's face is fringed with spiky features, and it has a small, pointed extension below the chin. Its eyes have blue irises and black pupils. There are two pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Reshiram has a long and slender neck, with a fluffy, collar-like protrusion jutting out of two gray, glass-like neckbands. Its arms begin slender and arm-like but then flare into a more wing-like appearance, sporting four claws resembling hands on the leading edge. There are plates at the back of Reshiram's "hands", that sport a similar color to its neck rings. Reshiram has a feathered or furry feature on its chest, with the lower portion protruding outwards to a point. Long feather-like protrusions jut out of its thighs. On its feet are large gray claws, three at the front and one positioned at the back, resembling high heels. Reshiram's tail is a mass of plume and ribbon-like extensions, surrounded by two large bands, similar to the ones around its neck. When its emotions surge, it enters {{form|Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode}}, and its tail lights up with a fiery glow.


Reshiram's neck is long and slender, with a collar-esque protrusion of fur or feathers seeming held in place by two somewhat glass-like neck-bands, with similar bands present on the "wrists" of Reshiram's forelimbs. Reshiram's forelimbs are expansive, wing-like appendages or some unusual sort of wings themselves; the beginning portions of the limbs are slender and generally conventionally arm-like, but flare out into a more wing-like, feathered section farther on the limb, sporting four claws on the leading edge. On Reshiram's chest is a feathered feature most similar in shape to a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Silver Wing}}, with the lower portion protruding outward to a point. Long feathers spread out from Reshiram's thighs, its feet with large claws—three in front, and the one in the back positioned at an angle somewhat like high heels. Reshiram's tail is a thick mass of a center-most plume and ribbon-like secondary extensions, surrounded by two large bands. This tail is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.
Reshiram has a jet engine-like tail, which it uses to accelerate itself when flying at high speeds. It can send flames from its tail into the air to incinerate everything around it. By flaring its tail, Reshiram can move the world's atmosphere and change the weather. This tail generator is also activated when influenced by either {{p|Zekrom}}'s [[signature move]]s, which in turn powers up Reshiram's. Reshiram loves [[Reshiram Treat|Reshiram Treats]] made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past.


====Gender differences====
In [[Unova|Unovan]] mythology, Reshiram was created from [[List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon#Original Dragon|a single Dragon Pokémon]] owned by the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]] when it split into two: Reshiram and Zekrom. It sided with the older brother who sought the truth, as a result, it firmly believes in truth. Reshiram is said to be Zekrom's equal in battle, meaning neither of the two dragons can truly defeat the other. It is powerful enough to destroy the [[Unova|region]] it resides in with its fire powers. Reshiram will transform into the [[Light Stone]] should its body get destroyed or when attacked by {{p|Kyurem}}'s tendril-like appendages. It can willingly transform back from said stone when awakened by a hero who believes in truth. According to one myth, Reshiram is said to burn down kingdoms of people who ignore truth due to being consumed by greed.
Reshiram is a genderless species.

[[File:Reshiram and Zekrom units 2010.png|250x|thumb|Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010]]
[[File:Reshiram and Zekrom units 2010.png|thumb|200px|Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010]]
* Reshiram was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Zekrom}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010. This makes them the first two Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
[[File:Reshiram Yellow Battle Chess.png|thumb|Reshiram in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Reshiram.
*In games prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Reshiram has a catch rate of 45. This is likely due to Reshiram being a required capture during the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}.
** Due to being a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon as well, Reshiram is the only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon that is not weak to {{t|Water}}.
*Reshiram was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Zekrom}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010. This makes them the first two Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
* Reshiram has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. Tied with {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Reshiram has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. Tied with {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, it has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. Tied with {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Dialga}}, it has the highest Special Attack of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
*Reshiram, as well as Zekrom, made an appearance alongside {{p|Pikachu}} and a {{i|Poké Ball}} in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
* Reshiram is required to be caught in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]] in order to progress on the story and battle [[N]]. [[Escape|Running away]] from it or defeating it will appear as if nothing happened; also, defeating it does not give any [[experience]] points. It and {{p|Zekrom}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the [[main series]] games that are required to be caught to progress the story. However, it does not have to be caught if the player has a full [[party]] and [[PC]]. Instead, it will later appear at [[Dragonspiral Tower]].
*Reshiram appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. Alongside Zekrom, the player must lose a specific number of pieces (four in Reshiram's case) to use it, and it takes four spaces on the board.
* Due to its ability, no combination of types and abilities is resistant to both types of Reshiram's [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] attacks.
*The initial design drafts for what would become Reshiram and its counterpart Zekrom were done by [[Keiko Moritsugu]],<ref name="Moritsugu">[https://imgur.com/a/cgf0g14 Archive of deleted tweet by Keiko Moritsugu, explaining which Generation V Pokémon she had designed]</ref> while their final designs were created by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name="1up">''How Pokemon Get Made'', 1up.com ([https://web.archive.org/web/20130510123211/http://www.1up.com/news/how-pokemon-get-made Archive])</ref>
* Reshiram, as well as {{p|Zekrom}}, made an appearance along side {{p|Pikachu}} and a [[Poké Ball]] in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
<!--The 1up.com article is spelled that way, without the acute e.-->
* Reshiram and its counterpart, {{p|Zekrom}}, are the only [[version mascot]]s to have more than one [[signature move]].
**According to Moritsugu, Zekrom's final design is mostly similar to her draft, while Reshiram's final design ended up being significantly different from her draft.<ref name="Moritsugu" />


===Origin===
===Origin===
Reshiram and its counterpart {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}, directly referenced by Reshiram's Japanese species: the White Yang Pokémon. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Reshiram has a light, airy, ladylike design to contrast to Zekrom's tough and manly look (despite this, it speaks with a distinctly male voice in [[M14|both versions of the 14th movie]]). Its tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.<ref>[http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=1641 Interview with Ken Sugimori and development team]</ref> Appearance wise, it resembles a mix of animals, including a bird, a {{wp|canid}} such as a fox or a wolf, a {{wp|pterosaur}}, and a {{wp|Wyvern}}. The crest on its head and its feathers resemble smoke trails as well as white fire, which can burn up to temperatures of 1,500 °C (2,730 °F). The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to {{wp|Romulus and Remus}} or {{wp|Cain and Abel}}. There is also same resemblence to the Zoroastrian belief of two equally powerful deities, one representing light and truth and the other representing lies and darkness. In this case, Reshiram can resemble {{wp|Ahura Mazda}}, due to its light and winged appearance, but also the fact that Reshiram is a [[Fire (type)|Fire type]] Pokémon, and Ahura Mazda was associated with fire.
Reshiram and its counterpart {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}, directly referenced by Reshiram's Japanese [[Pokémon category|category name]]: はくようポケモン ''White Yang Pokémon''. Reshiram's design was made to be light, airy, graceful, and feminine, to contrast Zekrom's tough and masculine design.<ref name="1up" /><ref>(February 10, 2011). [https://www.bisafans.de/spiele/editionen/schwarz-weiss/gamefreak.php Interview with Game Freak in London] by Bisafans (Page 1) (German)</ref> Its feminine design, however, contrasts the traditionally masculine characterization of yang in Taoism. In both versions of the [[M14|fourteenth movie]], however, it speaks with a distinctly male voice. Its tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.<ref name="1up" />
 
Reshiram in its Light Stone form may take inspiration from the Jewish concepts of {{wp|Urim and Thummim}} (possibly translated as “light and perfection”). In pop culture, they are commonly depicted as a white and black stone. Its association with truth would align with the idea of light.
 
Appearance-wise, it resembles a {{wp|wyvern}} with characteristics of other animals, such as birds, {{wp|pterosaur}}s, and canines. The crest on its head and its feathers resemble smoke trails, as well as white fire, which can burn up to temperatures of 1,500&nbsp;°C (2,730&nbsp;°F). The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to {{wp|Romulus and Remus}} or {{wp|Cain and Abel}}. There is also some resemblance to the Zoroastrian belief of two equally powerful deities, one representing light and truth, and the other representing lies and darkness. In this case, Reshiram can resemble {{wp|Ahura Mazda}}, due to its light and winged appearance, and the fact that it sided with truth, but also the fact that it is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, and Ahura Mazda was associated with fire. It may also draw from folkloric depictions of dragons, in that its appearance may be inspired by the {{wp|white dragon}} of England, and its association with fire may also be a reference to how dragons are associated with fire in Western folklore.

In an interview with the [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] UK (Issue 65), [[Ken Sugimori]] said that the "shira" in Reshiram's name was from the Japanese word for white, 白 ''shiro'', and the "Re" was used because it was a softer sound than Zekrom's "Ze", as Reshiram is a less physically powerful character.
Reshiram is derived from 白 ''shiro'' (white). [[Ken Sugimori]] has also stated that ''Re'' was used because it was a softer sound than {{p|Zekrom}}'s ''Ze'', as Reshiram is a less physically powerful character.<ref>[[Official Nintendo Magazine]] UK, Issue 65</ref>

Reshiram (Japanese: レシラム Reshiram) is a dual-type Dragon/Fire Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Reshiram is the game mascot of Pokémon Black, appearing on the boxart.

Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem are often collectively referred to as the Tao trio by fans. The group is referred to in the myths and legends of the Unova region.

Reshiram can absofuse with Kyurem using the DNA Splicers to become White Kyurem.

Biology

Reshiram in its Overdrive mode

Reshiram is a white, bipedal Pokémon with draconic, avian, and mammalian traits. A long, voluminous wispy mane streams out from the upper side of the snout and outwards from its head. The top of this mane is adorned with two protrusions resembling ears. Reshiram's face is fringed with spiky features, and it has a small, pointed extension below the chin. Its eyes have blue irises and black pupils. There are two pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Reshiram has a long and slender neck, with a fluffy, collar-like protrusion jutting out of two gray, glass-like neckbands. Its arms begin slender and arm-like but then flare into a more wing-like appearance, sporting four claws resembling hands on the leading edge. There are plates at the back of Reshiram's "hands", that sport a similar color to its neck rings. Reshiram has a feathered or furry feature on its chest, with the lower portion protruding outwards to a point. Long feather-like protrusions jut out of its thighs. On its feet are large gray claws, three at the front and one positioned at the back, resembling high heels. Reshiram's tail is a mass of plume and ribbon-like extensions, surrounded by two large bands, similar to the ones around its neck. When its emotions surge, it enters Overdrive mode, and its tail lights up with a fiery glow.

Reshiram has a jet engine-like tail, which it uses to accelerate itself when flying at high speeds. It can send flames from its tail into the air to incinerate everything around it. By flaring its tail, Reshiram can move the world's atmosphere and change the weather. This tail generator is also activated when influenced by either Zekrom's signature moves, which in turn powers up Reshiram's. Reshiram loves Reshiram Treats made by Snacksworth, who once encountered it in the past.

In Unovan mythology, Reshiram was created from a single Dragon Pokémon owned by the twin heroes when it split into two: Reshiram and Zekrom. It sided with the older brother who sought the truth, as a result, it firmly believes in truth. Reshiram is said to be Zekrom's equal in battle, meaning neither of the two dragons can truly defeat the other. It is powerful enough to destroy the region it resides in with its fire powers. Reshiram will transform into the Light Stone should its body get destroyed or when attacked by Kyurem's tendril-like appendages. It can willingly transform back from said stone when awakened by a hero who believes in truth. According to one myth, Reshiram is said to burn down kingdoms of people who ignore truth due to being consumed by greed.

Reshiram is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Blue Flare by leveling up. Additionaly Reshiram and White Kyurem are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Fusion Flare by leveling up. Reshiram and White Kyurem are also the only known Pokémon that can have Turboblaze as an Ability.

Trivia

Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010
Reshiram in Pokémon Battle Chess
  • In games prior to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Reshiram has a catch rate of 45. This is likely due to Reshiram being a required capture during the storyline of Pokémon Black and White.
  • Reshiram was first revealed simultaneously alongside Zekrom on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010. This makes them the first two Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
  • Reshiram, as well as Zekrom, made an appearance alongside Pikachu and a Poké Ball in 2010's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
  • Reshiram appears in Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version. Alongside Zekrom, the player must lose a specific number of pieces (four in Reshiram's case) to use it, and it takes four spaces on the board.
  • The initial design drafts for what would become Reshiram and its counterpart Zekrom were done by Keiko Moritsugu,[1] while their final designs were created by Ken Sugimori.[2]
    • According to Moritsugu, Zekrom's final design is mostly similar to her draft, while Reshiram's final design ended up being significantly different from her draft.[1]

Origin

Reshiram and its counterpart Zekrom are based on the concept of yin and yang in Taoism, directly referenced by Reshiram's Japanese category name: はくようポケモン White Yang Pokémon. Reshiram's design was made to be light, airy, graceful, and feminine, to contrast Zekrom's tough and masculine design.[2][3] Its feminine design, however, contrasts the traditionally masculine characterization of yang in Taoism. In both versions of the fourteenth movie, however, it speaks with a distinctly male voice. Its tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric turbine.[2]

Reshiram in its Light Stone form may take inspiration from the Jewish concepts of Urim and Thummim (possibly translated as “light and perfection”). In pop culture, they are commonly depicted as a white and black stone. Its association with truth would align with the idea of light.

Appearance-wise, it resembles a wyvern with characteristics of other animals, such as birds, pterosaurs, and canines. The crest on its head and its feathers resemble smoke trails, as well as white fire, which can burn up to temperatures of 1,500 °C (2,730 °F). The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to Romulus and Remus or Cain and Abel. There is also some resemblance to the Zoroastrian belief of two equally powerful deities, one representing light and truth, and the other representing lies and darkness. In this case, Reshiram can resemble Ahura Mazda, due to its light and winged appearance, and the fact that it sided with truth, but also the fact that it is a Fire-type Pokémon, and Ahura Mazda was associated with fire. It may also draw from folkloric depictions of dragons, in that its appearance may be inspired by the white dragon of England, and its association with fire may also be a reference to how dragons are associated with fire in Western folklore.

Name origin

Reshiram is derived from 白 shiro (white). Ken Sugimori has also stated that Re was used because it was a softer sound than Zekrom's Ze, as Reshiram is a less physically powerful character.[4]
