Zekrom (Japanese: ゼクロム Zekrom) is a dual-type Dragon/Electric legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Zekrom is the version mascot of Pokémon White, appearing on the boxart. It is also the second of the Tao trio, which exists in the legends of the Unova Region.
Biology
Physiology
Zekrom is a bipedal Pokémon of dragon- and dinosaur-like basis. Zekrom is mainly a shade of dark gray, with darker patches on various portions of its body. It has red eyes (although in some scenes its eyes are depicted as having white irises and red sclera) and a small horn-like protrusion on the tip of its snout, with its head sporting a plume tipped with light-blue coloration. At the base of its neck is a black, stud-like feature, and atop its shoulders are similar, larger features resembling armor padding. The bases of its wings also have such padding, and a fanned, splayed, seemingly webbed shape with a small "wing-spike" on one edge. The lower length of Zekrom's arms extenuate into splayed, seemingly webbed, somewhat baseball-mitt-like formations, with three-clawed, dark-colored hands on the undersides. The front portion of Zekrom's waist is black-colored, with its belly and thighs having thin striations down their length. The knees are black, as are the foremost parts of its three-clawed feet and spiked heels. Zekrom's tail consists of large, round, conical and spiked formation, likened to an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion.
Gender differences
Zekrom is a genderless species.
Special abilities
Zekrom is the only Pokémon known to learn Fusion Bolt and Bolt Strike. Zekrom's tail contains a generator that produces energy for its Electric-based attacks and emits a sort of anti-gravity field which enables it to float and fly through the skies with minimal effects from aerodynamic resistance and the planet's gravity. It can also cause several thunderstorms in one area.
Behavior
In a Unova myth about the twin heroes, as Zekrom sided with the younger brother who sought for ideals, the Deep Black Pokemon firmly believes in ideals. It has a hatred for Reshiram, who sided with the older brother.
Habitat
Zekrom usually stay in thunderclouds, hiding.

Trivia
- Zekrom was first revealed simultaneously alongside Reshiram on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010. This makes the two the first Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
- On May 31, 2010, two weeks prior to the official revelation of Zekrom's type, Shōko Nakagawa spoke about her love of Template:Type2 Pokémon on her blog and mentioned that because of that, she wanted to get a Zekrom. This statement was then quickly removed.
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Zekrom.
- Zekrom has the highest Attack, Defense, single base stat and base stat total of all Electric-type Pokémon. Tied with Rayquaza, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, and Reshiram, it has the highest single base stat and base stat total of all Dragon-type Pokémon. Tied with Dialga and Altered Forme Giratina, it has the highest Defense of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
- Zekrom has the highest Attack of all Generation V Pokémon.
- Zekrom and Rotom's Mow form are the only Pokémon that have a double resistance to Electric.
- Zekrom is the heaviest Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
- Zekrom is required to be caught in Pokémon White in order to progress on the story and battle N. Running away from it or defeating it will appear as if nothing happened; also, defeating it does not give any experience points. It and Reshiram 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.
- Zekrom, as well as Reshiram, made an appearance alongside Pikachu and a Poké Ball in 2010's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
- Zekrom and its counterpart, Reshiram, are the only version mascots to have more than one signature move.
Origin
Zekrom and its counterpart Reshiram are based on the concept of yin and yang in Taoism. According to Ken Sugimori, Zekrom was designed to have a tougher and more manly look to contrast to Reshiram's light, airy, ladylike design. Its tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric turbine.[1] Appearance wise, it somewhat resembles a midsized to large theropod dinosaur, such as Allosaurus, and a European dragon. The crest on its head is a reference to thunderclouds. The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to Cain and Abel.
Name origin
In an interview with the Official Nintendo Magazine UK (Issue 65), Ken Sugimori said that the "kuro" in Zekrom's name was from the Japanese word for Black, 黒 kuro, and the "Ze" was used because it was a harder, stronger sound than Reshiram's "Re", and Zekrom is a "powerful, strong character".
