'''Kyurem''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュレム''' ''Kyurem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ice}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].
 
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Kyurem has two alternate [[#Form data|forms]], which are activated by using the [[DNA Splicers]] on it and either {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, resulting in a process called '''Absofusion''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|吸収合体|きゅうしゅうがったい}}''' ''Absorb Union''), which removes Reshiram or Zekrom from the party until the fusion is undone. It will then become '''White Kyurem''' when fused with Reshiram or '''Black Kyurem''' when fused with Zekrom.


While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, it has [[Form differences#Kyurem|two other formes]], which are activated by using the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|DNA Splicers}} on it and either {{p|Zekrom}} or {{p|Reshiram}}, resulting in a fusion that removes Zekrom or Reshiram from the party until the fusion is undone. It will then become '''Black Kyurem''' (with Zekrom) or '''White Kyurem''' (with Reshiram).
(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for more details.)


Along with Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyurem is a member of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region.
Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom are often collectively referred to as the [[Tao trio]] by fans. The group is referred to in the [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|myths and legends]] of the [[Unova]] region. In [[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]], it is also associated with the [[Swords of Justice]].


As both Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, it is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].
Kyurem is the [[game mascot]] of both {{B2W2}}, appearing on the boxart of Black 2 as Black Kyurem and White 2 as White Kyurem.

===Physiology===
[[File:Kyurem tendrils Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Kyurem's tendril-like appendages under its icy wings]]
Kyurem is a gray and blue colored, bipedal Pokémon of indefinable but seemingly draconic basis. Kyurem has a unique blue head and snout and has yellow eyes without pupils, has a pair of pointed light bluish horns on its head and a yellow crest on its skull. Kyurem's neck is long and gray in color with lines running around its whole body, legs, arms and tail. Kyurem has two arms, each with its own claw and each arm is jointed together from its blue oddly shaped wings. Its wings are believed to be used for flying as well as storing cold air and have two spikes of ice each. The ice covering the wings is breakable, revealing gray tendril-like appendages on Kyurem's back. The right side of its body seems to be damaged in some way, as the wing and horn on its head on that side are shorter; the right side of its head<!--visible in its Dream World art and [[Pokédex 3D]]--> also has a spiked edge near its jaw hinge that is absent from its left. Its legs are somewhat slender, unlike {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, and has three sharp ice-like claws on each enormous foot. Its tail has three blue icicle-shaped spikes on its tip. Like its fellow Tao trio members, its tail appears to be some sort of propulsion device or a container of energy; exactly what it is based on is unclear, but it may be a damaged turbine.  
Kyurem is a gray and blue, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of indefinable but seemingly draconic basis. Kyurem has a blue head and snout and has yellow eyes without pupils, a pair of pointed light bluish horns on its head, and a yellow crest on its skull that is bioluminescent. Three pointed teeth jut out the bottom of either side of its jaws, which are frozen shut by the ice covering its head. Its long, gray neck has lines running around its whole body, legs, arms, and tail. It has two arms, each with its claw, and each arm is joined by its oddly shaped blue wings, which are believed to be used for flying and storing cold air. Each wing has two spikes of ice that are also bioluminescent. The ice covering the wings can break, revealing gray tendril-like appendages on Kyurem's back. The right side of its body seems to be damaged in some way, as the wing and horn on its head on that side are shorter; the right side of its head<!--visible in its Dream World art and [[Pokédex 3D]]--> also has a spiked edge near its jaw hinge that is absent from its left. Its legs are somewhat slender and have three sharp ice-like claws on each enormous foot. Its tail has three blue conical spikes on its tip, and appears to be some sort of propulsion device or a container of energy; exactly what it is based on is unclear, but it may be a damaged turbine.


Kyurem has two alternate forms, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, which are formed by combining with {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}}, respectively, and share many aspects of their designs with them. Their legs are just like Normal Kyurem's legs, but shorter and the middle toe is now ice; White Kyurem has some extra icy details on the legs. Their tails are just like Reshiram's and Zekrom's tails but they are attached to the body with three gray parts of skin. The tails seem to be fully able to move and contain four holes: they are vertical on Black Kyurem and horizontal on White Kyurem's silver rings. Their torsos are similar, but Black Kyurem's torso is more bulky than White Kyurem's torso, which is slim. Their shoulders are covered in 'squares' of ice with two pins protruding from each which can come out and 'plug in' the aforementioned holes. Their arms are quite different: Black Kyurem has Zekrom's arms, but more muscular and without wings, which are attached to the icy shoulders mentioned before, and its left arm and wing are frozen; White Kyurem has thin arms with two rings and three claws each, wings between the rings on its forearms, and its right arm and wing are frozen. Their necks are the same shape, and are long like Normal Kyurem's but now upright; Black Kyurem uses Zekrom's skin and White Kyurem uses Reshiram's fur.
Kyurem generates powerful, freezing energy inside itself, but its body becomes frozen when the energy leaks out. It appears that this Pokémon uses its ice powers to freeze its own body in order to stabilize its cellular structure. It is said to have a power that exceeds that of {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, however, this power is kept at bay by the extreme cold. Kyurem can use its tendril-like appendages to transform Reshiram and Zekrom back into their respective [[Dragon Stones]] and even {{pkmn|fusion|absofuse}} with them while they're in that state. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], similarly to Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyurem is somehow capable of flying even with its frozen wings. According to the [[Village of Dragons]]'s [[Elder (Village of Dragons)|Elder]] in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', Kyurem is considered one of the strongest {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon in the world. Kyurem is powerful enough to cover a [[Opelucid City|city]] and even an entire [[Unova|region]] in which it resides in ice. Kyurem loves [[Kyurem Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past.


====Gender differences====
According to an old legend in [[Lacunosa Town]], Kyurem is an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]] that crashlanded on the [[Pokémon world|planet]] inside either an icy meteor or a [[Dragon Stones|Dragon Stone]], creating the [[Giant Chasm]]. This same legend describes Kyurem as hostile towards Pokémon and humans, due to the fact it supposedly devoured them if they were found outside of Lacunosa Town during the night. However, according to another old legend told by [[Drayden]], Kyurem was created by the leftovers of the [[List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon#Original Dragon|the single powerful Dragon Pokémon]] owned by the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]] of [[Unova]] after it split up into Reshiram and Zekrom. Its true origin is unknown.
Kyurem is a genderless species.


===Special abilities===
Kyurem is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Glaciate}} by leveling up.
Kyurem generates a powerful, freezing energy inside itself, but its body became frozen when the energy leaked out. It is the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Glaciate}}, while its alternate forms Black Kyurem and White Kyurem can respectively learn {{m|Freeze Shock}} and {{m|Ice Burn}} instead. Black Kyurem and White Kyurem can also learn Zekrom's and Reshiram's signature moves {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Fusion Flare}}.


When the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|DNA Splicers}} is used on Kyurem, the tendrils on its back allow it to turn Zekrom and Reshiram into their respective [[Dragon Stones]]. After doing so, it can use Absofusion on the stone, turning itself into Black or White Kyurem.
===Forms===
Kyurem has two alternate forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem.


===Behavior===
These forms are formed by [[Pokémon fusion|absofusing]] with {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, respectively, sharing many aspects of their designs with them. It can absofuse with them in their respective [[Dragon Stones]] to change to White or Black Kyurem. The reason for this is due to the sameness of Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom's genes, allowing said fusion. As a result, Kyurem also shares Reshiram or Zekrom's beliefs in truth or ideals, respectively, when fused with either of the two dragons. It's also said to wait for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with truth or ideals. In ''Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice '', Kyurem can also change into Black Kyurem or White Kyurem without fusing by channeling the powers of both Reshiram and Zekrom it has within itself.
Due to an old legend, it may be assumed Kyurem may be hostile towards Pokémon and humans, due to the fact it supposedly ate them if they were found outside at night.


===Habitat===
;White Kyurem
Kyurem is an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]]. However, one resides in the [[Giant Chasm]] in the [[Unova]] region after it apparently fell from a meteor.
[[File:646Kyurem-White2.png|thumb|left|175px|White Kyurem in Overdrive mode]]
White Kyurem resembles a hybrid version of itself and Reshiram. When transformed into White Kyurem, its legs are just like the original, but shorter, and the middle toe becomes ice. As White Kyurem, it has some extra icy details on the legs. Its tail resembles that of Reshiram but is attached to the body with three gray parts of the skin. The tail is capable of movement and contains four holes. They are horizontal on White Kyurem. White Kyurem's torso is slimmer Its shoulders are covered in 'squares' of ice with two pins protruding from each which can come out and 'plug into' the aforementioned holes. As White Kyurem, it has thin arms with two rings and three claws each, wings between the rings on its forearms, and its right arm and wing are frozen. Its neck is the same shape but becomes upright due to White Kyurem using Reshiram's fur. The ice covering Kyurem's upper jaws has partially disappeared, allowing it to move its mouth. During a battle, White Kyurem enters {{form|Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode}}, and tubes sprout from its back to its tail. In White Kyurem's case, the ends of its hair and wings become fiery and its tail acquires fiery highlights.


===Diet===
White Kyurem can use both the power of fire and ice due to fusing with Reshiram. White Kyurem can fly using its wings and the jet engine-like tail. Due to Reshiram's influence, White Kyurem firmly believes in truth. Due to foreseeing a world of truth, it will fight to protect said future for both humans and Pokémon.
{{main|Pokémon food}}
An old legend in [[Lacunosa Town]] describing Kyurem claims that it would take people and Pokémon away from the town and eat them. It is unknown how much credence there is to this story, however.


==In the anime==
White Kyurem and {{p|Reshiram}} are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Fusion Flare}}. They're also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Turboblaze}} as an [[ability]]. White Kyurem is also the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Ice Burn}}.

===Major appearances===
;Black Kyurem
====[[Kyurem (M15)]]====
[[File:646Kyurem-Black2.png|thumb|left|175px|Black Kyurem in Overdrive mode]]
Kyurem, in all of its forms, made its debut as one of the stars of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', along with [[Swords of Justice (M15)|Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion]] and {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}}. Kyurem was challenged by Keldeo, who wasn't ready to fight Kyurem, but arrogantly claimed that he was a [[Swords of Justice (M15)|Sword of Justice]]. After the terrified Keldeo fled during the middle of the the fight, Kyurem relentlessly pursues Keldeo in order to finish the battle they had started.
Black Kyurem resembles a hybrid version of itself and Zekrom. When transformed into Black Kyurem, its legs are just like the original, but shorter, and the middle toe becomes ice. Its tail resembles that of Zekrom but is attached to the body with three gray parts of the skin. The tail is capable of movement and contains four holes: they are vertical on Black Kyurem. Black Kyurem's torso is bulkier. Its shoulders are covered in 'squares' of ice with two pins protruding from each which can come out and 'plug into' the aforementioned holes. As Black Kyurem, it has Zekrom's arms, but they are more muscular and without wings, and its left arm and wing are frozen. Its neck is the same shape but becomes upright due to Black Kyurem using Zekrom's skin. The ice covering Kyurem's lower jaws has partially disappeared, allowing it to move its mouth. During a battle, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem enter {{form|Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode}}, and tubes sprout from its back to its tail. In Black Kyurem's case, parts of its right arm and the tip of the horn on the back of its head turn blue, while its tail lights up with electricity.


===Minor appearances===
Black Kyurem can use the power of both electricity and ice due to fusing with Zekrom. Black Kyurem can fly using an anti-gravity field through its generator-like tail. Due to Zekrom's influence, Black Kyurem firmly believes in ideals. Due to foreseeing an ideal world, it will fight to protect said future for both humans and Pokémon.


==In the manga==
Black Kyurem and {{p|Zekrom}} are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Fusion Bolt}}. They're also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Teravolt}} as an [[ability]]. Black Kyurem is also the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Freeze Shock}}.

====By [[TM]]====
Starting in [[Generation VIII]], Kyurem can learn {{m|Scary Face}} even if fused. In that case, if Kyurem becomes unfused while knowing Scary Face, it will forget this move before the fusion move ({{m|Fusion Bolt}} or {{m|Fusion Flare}}) is replaced with Scary Face.

===Side game data===
Kyurem changes its form through the use of the [[DNA Splicers]], which fuses it with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}. The combination retains Kyurem's attributes, such as its [[level]], [[Poké Ball]], [[held item]], [[game of origin]], [[personality value]], {{IV}}s, {{EV}}s, [[nickname]], [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID number, secret ID number]], met location, [[Pokérus]], and so on. This fusion can be reversed by using the DNA Splicers again, with Reshiram or Zekrom remaining unaltered from before being fused, including whatever item it may have been holding. The DNA Splicers can only fuse one Kyurem at a time. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into {{g|Bank}} or {{g|HOME}}, nor can they be [[trade]]d or {{pkmn2|released}} without having the fusion undone first.

White Kyurem has the [[Ability]] {{a|Turboblaze}} and learns the [[move]]s {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Ice Burn}} by leveling up, and its [[cry]] is a combination of standard Kyurem and Reshiram's cries. Black Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Teravolt}} and learns the moves {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}} by leveling up, and its cry is a combination of standard Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.
When Kyurem becomes fused with or separated from either Reshiram or Zekrom while it knows certain moves, Kyurem's move set will automatically be updated without prompting the player. Fusing Kyurem will replace {{m|Scary Face}} with either Fusion Bolt or Fusion Flare, and replace {{m|Glaciate}} with either Freeze Shock or Ice Burn, if one or both of these moves are present. Reversing the fusion will perform the inverse of these move transformations. Starting in [[Generation VIII]], it is possible for Kyurem to learn Scary Face by [[TM]] after becoming fused; in these games, if Kyurem becomes unfused while it knows both Scary Face and the fusion move, the fusion move will change back to Scary Face and then all but the earliest instance of Scary Face will be deleted from the move set, to prevent having duplicate copies of the same move.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kyurem anime.png|thumb|250px|Kyurem in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Kyurem (M15)]]=====
Kyurem debuted in all three of its forms in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''. It was challenged by {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}}, who wasn't ready to fight it, but arrogantly claimed that he was a Sword of Justice. After the terrified Keldeo fled during the middle of the fight, Kyurem relentlessly pursued Keldeo in order to finish the battle they had started. Along with the other Legendary Pokémon present in the movie, Kyurem can [[Talking Pokémon|speak through telepathy]].
 
=====Other=====
Kyurem appeared in all three of its forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' as one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Kyurem and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Kyurem departed for its home.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Kyurem.
* White Kyurem and Black Kyurem are tied for having the highest [[Base stats|base stat]] totals of all {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
** Kyurem is also the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon introduced in Generation V that is not a pure Ice type.
* White Kyurem has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Ice-type Pokémon, while Black Kyurem has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Ice-type Pokémon.
* Kyurem has the highest base stat total of all Ice-type Pokémon; as Black Kyurem or White Kyurem it also has the highest base stat total of all Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as the second-highest base stat total of all Pokémon, surpassed only by {{p|Arceus}}.
* White Kyurem is the tallest Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
* Black Kyurem and White Kyurem have the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}, respectively, of all {{t|Dragon}}- and Ice-type Pokémon; this is also the second-highest Attack and Special attack of all Pokémon, behind only {{P|Deoxys}} in its [[Form differences#Deoxys|Attack form]].
* Kyurem has the most separate [[Cry|cries]] used in-game, with a total of five. It has one for each form and two longer cries that play in stereo.
* White Kyurem is the tallest Ice-type Pokémon.
* In its base form, Kyurem is the only Pokémon with an [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 1 HP, 1 Attack, and 1 Special Attack.
* Unlike most Pokémon with no evolutionary relatives, Kyurem can learn a move—{{m|Imprison}}—twice with neither instance being at level 1.
* White Kyurem and Black Kyurem will not react if whistled at in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]], as only their Overdrive Modes have attack animations. They share this distinction with {{p|Xerneas}}.

* Of the Pokémon capable of fusion with another Pokémon, Kyurem is the only one whose fused forms do not have different typing than its base form.

* Kyurem is the only member of the Tao trio that cannot learn its {{m|Ice Fang|respective}} {{DL|Move variations|Elemental Fangs|Elemental Fang}}.
* In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], White Kyurem and Black Kyurem are the only Pokémon with a rating of 5 [[Amelia]] icons.
* Although several Pokémon are the result of two or more individuals combining ({{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Metang}}, {{p|Metagross}}), Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are the only ones to be shown doing so in the [[main series]] games. They are also the only fusions that are not part of a Pokémon's [[evolution]] and (excluding the [[Devolution Spray]]) are the only fusions which are reversible.
* Kyurem is the only Pokémon to be the version mascot of both versions of a paired version.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Kyurem and its two counterparts {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Kyurem, however, symbolizes {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, the absence of yin and yang. In regards to overall design, it appears to be based on a {{wp|theropod}} and a {{wp|European dragon}}, similar to Zekrom. Kyurem's type, {{t|Ice}}, may allude to the absence of energy and the concept of {{wp|absolute zero}}. Kyurem's rock-like body and its origin story of arriving on Earth like a meteor are references to comets, which are largely composed of ice crystals.

Kyurem (Japanese: キュレム Kyurem) is a dual-type Dragon/Ice Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Kyurem has two alternate forms, which are activated by using the DNA Splicers on it and either Reshiram or Zekrom, resulting in a process called Absofusion (Japanese: 吸収合体(きゅうしゅうがったい) Absorb Union), which removes Reshiram or Zekrom from the party until the fusion is undone. It will then become White Kyurem when fused with Reshiram or Black Kyurem when fused with Zekrom.

(Refer to Game data→Form data for more details.)

Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom 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. In Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice, it is also associated with the Swords of Justice.

Kyurem is the game mascot of both Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, appearing on the boxart of Black 2 as Black Kyurem and White 2 as White Kyurem.

Biology

Kyurem's tendril-like appendages under its icy wings

Kyurem is a gray and blue, bipedal Pokémon of indefinable but seemingly draconic basis. Kyurem has a blue head and snout and has yellow eyes without pupils, a pair of pointed light bluish horns on its head, and a yellow crest on its skull that is bioluminescent. Three pointed teeth jut out the bottom of either side of its jaws, which are frozen shut by the ice covering its head. Its long, gray neck has lines running around its whole body, legs, arms, and tail. It has two arms, each with its claw, and each arm is joined by its oddly shaped blue wings, which are believed to be used for flying and storing cold air. Each wing has two spikes of ice that are also bioluminescent. The ice covering the wings can break, revealing gray tendril-like appendages on Kyurem's back. The right side of its body seems to be damaged in some way, as the wing and horn on its head on that side are shorter; the right side of its head also has a spiked edge near its jaw hinge that is absent from its left. Its legs are somewhat slender and have three sharp ice-like claws on each enormous foot. Its tail has three blue conical spikes on its tip, and appears to be some sort of propulsion device or a container of energy; exactly what it is based on is unclear, but it may be a damaged turbine.

Kyurem generates powerful, freezing energy inside itself, but its body becomes frozen when the energy leaks out. It appears that this Pokémon uses its ice powers to freeze its own body in order to stabilize its cellular structure. It is said to have a power that exceeds that of Reshiram and Zekrom, however, this power is kept at bay by the extreme cold. Kyurem can use its tendril-like appendages to transform Reshiram and Zekrom back into their respective Dragon Stones and even absofuse with them while they're in that state. In Pokémon Adventures, similarly to Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyurem is somehow capable of flying even with its frozen wings. According to the Village of Dragons's Elder in Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice, Kyurem is considered one of the strongest Dragon-type Pokémon in the world. Kyurem is powerful enough to cover a city and even an entire region in which it resides in ice. Kyurem loves Kyurem Treats made by Snacksworth, who once encountered it in the past.

According to an old legend in Lacunosa Town, Kyurem is an extraterrestrial Pokémon that crashlanded on the planet inside either an icy meteor or a Dragon Stone, creating the Giant Chasm. This same legend describes Kyurem as hostile towards Pokémon and humans, due to the fact it supposedly devoured them if they were found outside of Lacunosa Town during the night. However, according to another old legend told by Drayden, Kyurem was created by the leftovers of the the single powerful Dragon Pokémon owned by the twin heroes of Unova after it split up into Reshiram and Zekrom. Its true origin is unknown.

Kyurem is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Glaciate by leveling up.

Forms

Kyurem has two alternate forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem.

These forms are formed by absofusing with Reshiram and Zekrom, respectively, sharing many aspects of their designs with them. It can absofuse with them in their respective Dragon Stones to change to White or Black Kyurem. The reason for this is due to the sameness of Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom's genes, allowing said fusion. As a result, Kyurem also shares Reshiram or Zekrom's beliefs in truth or ideals, respectively, when fused with either of the two dragons. It's also said to wait for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with truth or ideals. In Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice , Kyurem can also change into Black Kyurem or White Kyurem without fusing by channeling the powers of both Reshiram and Zekrom it has within itself.

White Kyurem
White Kyurem in Overdrive mode

White Kyurem resembles a hybrid version of itself and Reshiram. When transformed into White Kyurem, its legs are just like the original, but shorter, and the middle toe becomes ice. As White Kyurem, it has some extra icy details on the legs. Its tail resembles that of Reshiram but is attached to the body with three gray parts of the skin. The tail is capable of movement and contains four holes. They are horizontal on White Kyurem. White Kyurem's torso is slimmer Its shoulders are covered in 'squares' of ice with two pins protruding from each which can come out and 'plug into' the aforementioned holes. As White Kyurem, it has thin arms with two rings and three claws each, wings between the rings on its forearms, and its right arm and wing are frozen. Its neck is the same shape but becomes upright due to White Kyurem using Reshiram's fur. The ice covering Kyurem's upper jaws has partially disappeared, allowing it to move its mouth. During a battle, White Kyurem enters Overdrive mode, and tubes sprout from its back to its tail. In White Kyurem's case, the ends of its hair and wings become fiery and its tail acquires fiery highlights.

White Kyurem can use both the power of fire and ice due to fusing with Reshiram. White Kyurem can fly using its wings and the jet engine-like tail. Due to Reshiram's influence, White Kyurem firmly believes in truth. Due to foreseeing a world of truth, it will fight to protect said future for both humans and Pokémon.

White Kyurem and Reshiram are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Fusion Flare. They're also the only known Pokémon that can have Turboblaze as an ability. White Kyurem is also the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Ice Burn.

Black Kyurem
Black Kyurem in Overdrive mode

Black Kyurem resembles a hybrid version of itself and Zekrom. When transformed into Black Kyurem, its legs are just like the original, but shorter, and the middle toe becomes ice. Its tail resembles that of Zekrom but is attached to the body with three gray parts of the skin. The tail is capable of movement and contains four holes: they are vertical on Black Kyurem. Black Kyurem's torso is bulkier. Its shoulders are covered in 'squares' of ice with two pins protruding from each which can come out and 'plug into' the aforementioned holes. As Black Kyurem, it has Zekrom's arms, but they are more muscular and without wings, and its left arm and wing are frozen. Its neck is the same shape but becomes upright due to Black Kyurem using Zekrom's skin. The ice covering Kyurem's lower jaws has partially disappeared, allowing it to move its mouth. During a battle, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem enter Overdrive mode, and tubes sprout from its back to its tail. In Black Kyurem's case, parts of its right arm and the tip of the horn on the back of its head turn blue, while its tail lights up with electricity.

Black Kyurem can use the power of both electricity and ice due to fusing with Zekrom. Black Kyurem can fly using an anti-gravity field through its generator-like tail. Due to Zekrom's influence, Black Kyurem firmly believes in ideals. Due to foreseeing an ideal world, it will fight to protect said future for both humans and Pokémon.

Black Kyurem and Zekrom are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Fusion Bolt. They're also the only known Pokémon that can have Teravolt as an ability. Black Kyurem is also the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Freeze Shock.

Starting in Generation VIII, Kyurem can learn Scary Face even if fused. In that case, if Kyurem becomes unfused while knowing Scary Face, it will forget this move before the fusion move (Fusion Bolt or Fusion Flare) is replaced with Scary Face.

Form data

Kyurem, in addition to its standard form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the game mascots of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, which they were introduced in.

Kyurem changes its form through the use of the DNA Splicers, which fuses it with Reshiram or Zekrom. The combination retains Kyurem's attributes, such as its level, Poké Ball, held item, game of origin, personality value, IVs, EVs, nickname, OT, Trainer ID number, secret ID number, met location, Pokérus, and so on. This fusion can be reversed by using the DNA Splicers again, with Reshiram or Zekrom remaining unaltered from before being fused, including whatever item it may have been holding. The DNA Splicers can only fuse one Kyurem at a time. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into Pokémon Bank or Pokémon HOME, nor can they be traded or released without having the fusion undone first.

White Kyurem has the Ability Turboblaze and learns the moves Fusion Flare and Ice Burn by leveling up, and its cry is a combination of standard Kyurem and Reshiram's cries. Black Kyurem has the Ability Teravolt and learns the moves Fusion Bolt and Freeze Shock by leveling up, and its cry is a combination of standard Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.

When Kyurem becomes fused with or separated from either Reshiram or Zekrom while it knows certain moves, Kyurem's move set will automatically be updated without prompting the player. Fusing Kyurem will replace Scary Face with either Fusion Bolt or Fusion Flare, and replace Glaciate with either Freeze Shock or Ice Burn, if one or both of these moves are present. Reversing the fusion will perform the inverse of these move transformations. Starting in Generation VIII, it is possible for Kyurem to learn Scary Face by TM after becoming fused; in these games, if Kyurem becomes unfused while it knows both Scary Face and the fusion move, the fusion move will change back to Scary Face and then all but the earliest instance of Scary Face will be deleted from the move set, to prevent having duplicate copies of the same move.

Major appearances

Kyurem (M15)

Kyurem debuted in all three of its forms in Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice. It was challenged by Keldeo, who wasn't ready to fight it, but arrogantly claimed that he was a Sword of Justice. After the terrified Keldeo fled during the middle of the fight, Kyurem relentlessly pursued Keldeo in order to finish the battle they had started. Along with the other Legendary Pokémon present in the movie, Kyurem can speak through telepathy.

Other

Kyurem appeared in all three of its forms in Hoopa and the Clash of Ages as one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow Hoopa Unbound as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the Latios, Latias, and Shiny Rayquaza summoned to protect the real Hoopa in Dahara City. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a Prison Bottle, the hypnosis on Kyurem and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Kyurem departed for its home.

Kyurem trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

Normal Form Kyurem also appears as a trophy in both games.

Trophy information

NA: While this Dragon/Ice-type Pokémon is definitely a Pokémon, some believe it is what remained after Reshiram and Zekrom were split apart. In battle, it will generate incredibly cold energy and then unleash it using Icy Wind. This move will deal constant damage before freezing opponents.

PAL: Kyurem is thought to be an empty shell left behind when Reshiram and Zekrom split into two. Its icy energy is so powerful that it can freeze its own body. When Kyurem has built up enough energy, it can unleash Icy Wind, shooting spirals of cold left and right. After damaging fighters, this attack with leave them frozen.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Kyurem returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. All three of its forms also appear as Spirits.

Trivia

  • White Kyurem has the highest base Special Attack stat of all Ice-type Pokémon, while Black Kyurem has the highest base Attack stat of all Ice-type Pokémon.
  • White Kyurem is the tallest Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

  • In its base form, Kyurem is the only Pokémon with an effort value yield of 1 HP, 1 Attack, and 1 Special Attack.
  • White Kyurem and Black Kyurem will not react if whistled at in the Isle of Armor or the Crown Tundra, as only their Overdrive Modes have attack animations. They share this distinction with Xerneas.
    • Likewise, White Kyurem and Black Kyurem can only do an Auto Battle if a Pokémon is specifically targeted even if there is multiple Pokémon shown.
  • Of the Pokémon capable of fusion with another Pokémon, Kyurem is the only one whose fused forms do not have different typing than its base form. It is also the only one which does not learn a new move in the standard manner upon fusing, as Glaciate and Scary Face are respectively replaced with Freeze Shock and Fusion Bolt or Ice Burn and Fusion Flare upon fusion.
  • In Pokémon Shuffle, White Kyurem and Black Kyurem are the only Pokémon with a rating of 5 Amelia icons.

Origin

Kyurem and its two counterparts Reshiram and Zekrom are based on the concept of yin and yang in Taoism. Kyurem, however, symbolizes wuji, the absence of yin and yang. In regards to overall design, it appears to be based on a theropod and a European dragon, similar to Zekrom. Its arms in particular seem to be influenced by Tyrannosaurus. Its Ice-typing may allude to the absence of energy and the concept of absolute zero. Its rock-like body and origin story of arriving on Earth like a meteor are references to comets, which are largely composed of ice crystals.

Given that its Japanese name contains mu, it may be based on the kōan mu.

Name origin

Kyurem may be derived from 急冷 kyūrei (rapid cooling) and グレイ gurei (gray). It may also involve 冷 rei (cold), 零 rei (zero), or 雪 yuki (snow) with the kana reversed, and 無 mu (nothing). Rem may also mimic the rom of Zekrom and the ram of Reshiram.
