	Reshiram's tail glows red-yellow with fire and erupts red-yellow fire from the back of it. It then opens its mouth and forms a light blue orb of fire in front of its mouth. Reshiram lowers its head and it fires a powerful stream of light blue and white fire with multiple light blue and white rings of fire around it at the opponent from the orb.
