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

Kyurem is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon.

Kyurem is the third of the Tao trio, which exists in the legends of the Unova Region.

Biology

Physiology

Kyurem is a gray and blue colored, bipedal Pokémon of indefinable but seemingly draconian basis. Kyurem has a unique blue head and snout and has yellow eyes, has a pair of pointed light bluish horns on its head and a yellow crest on its skull. Its face has a bit of resemblance to Giratina right down to its jaws. 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, believed to be used for flying as well as storing cold energy. Each of its wings were oddly proportioned and has two icicles each. Its legs are somewhat slender unlike Reshiram or Zekrom and its tail has four blue icicle shaped spikes on its tip.

Gender differences

Kyurem is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Kyurem can store powerful cold air onto its wings and tail and breathe with it, but it will also freeze itself in the process. Its believed to can unleash several blizzards and hailstorms and also can freeze its surroundings in a flash, referencing to its signature move, Frozen World.

Trivia

  • No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Kyurem.
    • Kyurem is the only Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V which isn't a pure Ice-type.
  • No other Pokémon has the same base stat total as Kyurem.
    • Additionally, Kyurem is the only Pokémon with a base stat total over 600 but less than 670.
  • Kyurem has the highest base stat total of all Ice-type Pokémon, as well as the highest Attack and Special Attack of that type, tied with Mamoswine and Glaceon, respectively.
  • Kyurem is the only Generation V legendary Pokémon that has Pressure as its ability.

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. Appearance wise, like Zekrom, it seems to be based off a theropod and a European dragon. Kyurem's type, Ice, may allude to the absence of energy, contrasting with Reshiram's fire and Zekrom's electricity and may also allude to the concept of absolute zero.

Name origin

Kyurem's name may be derived from 急冷 kyuurei (rapid cooling, 冷 rei meaning "cold") or ゆき yuki (雪, snow) with the kana reversed. May also be from 零 rei (zero) and 無 mu (nothing).
