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: '''{{tt|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.

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 together 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 generates powerful, freezing energy inside itself, but its body becomes frozen when the energy leaks out. By keeping its body frozen, the cellular structure will remain stable. 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 transform both Rehsiram and Zekrom back into their respective [[Dragon Stones]] by using its tendril-like appendages. 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. In the manga, similarly to Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyurem is somehow capable of flying even with its frozen wings. It is said to be an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]], according to folklore. According to [[M15|the anime]],  Kyurem is considered one of the strongest {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon in the world. Kyurem is powerful enough to cover an entire region in which it resides in ice, potentially freezing it. Kyurem loves [[Kyurem Treat|Kyurem Treats]] made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past.

According to an old legend, Kyurem is an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]] that crashlanded on the [[Pokémon world|planet]], northeast of [[Lacunosa Town]] inside an meteoroid, 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.

===Forms===
===Forms===
Kyurem has two alternate forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, which are formed by combining with {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, respectively, sharing many aspects of their designs with them. It can use Absofusion on their respective [[Dragon Stones]] to change to White or Black Kyurem. The reason for this is due to Kyurem retaining the gene of the other dragons which allows said fusion. As a result, Kyurem also shares Reshiram's or Zekrom's beliefs in truth or ideals, respectively, when fused with either of the two dragons. In ''[[M15|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 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.

Kyurem debuted in all three of its forms in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The 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.

===Form data===
===Form data===
Kyurem, in addition to its standard form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, which they were introduced in.
Kyurem, in addition to its standard form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{B2W2}}, which they were introduced in.


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.

====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.
