Reshiram is the version mascot of Pokémon Black, appearing on the boxart. It is also the first of the Energy dragon trio, which exists in the legends of the Isshu Region.
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. 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’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 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.

Origin
Reshiram and its counterpart Zekrom are based on the concept of yin and yang in Taoism. Appearance wise, it resembles a mix of animals, including a bird, a canid such as a fox or a wolf, and a Wyvern . The crest on its head and its feathers are references to clouds as well as white fire, which can burn up to temperatures of 1,500 °C (2,730 °F). To further this connection with fire and combustion, its tail resembles a rocket engine or afterburner .
Name origin
The shiram (シラム shiramu) in its name comes from the Japanese word 白む shiramu, which means "turning white" or "growing light".
