It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.


Reshiram is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], appearing on the boxart. It is also the first of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region.
Reshiram is the [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], appearing on the boxart.


==Biology==
Reshiram, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Kyurem}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Tao trio]] by fans. The group is referred to in the [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|myths and legends]] of the [[Unova]] region.
===Physiology===
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. Besides being very canine or vulpine like, it is as well based off of the White Tiger of japanese folklore, which represents yin, the feminine and black side of the yin yang symbol.


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.
Reshiram fuses with {{p|Kyurem}} using the [[DNA Splicers]] to become [[Kyurem (Pokémon)#Form data|White Kyurem]].


====Gender differences====
==Biology==
Reshiram is a genderless species.
[[File:643Reshiram-Activated.png|thumb|left|200px|Reshiram in Overdrive mode]]
Reshiram is a white, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with draconic, avian, and mammalian traits. A long, voluminous wispy mane streams out from the upper side of the snout and outwards from its head. The top of this mane is adorned with two protrusions resembling ears. Reshiram's face is fringed with spiky features, and it has a small, pointed extension below the chin. Its eyes have blue irises and black pupils. There are two pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower.


===Special abilities===
Reshiram has a long and slender neck, with a fluffy, collar-like protrusion jutting out of two gray, glass-like neckbands. Its arms begin slender and arm-like but then flare into a more wing-like appearance, sporting four claws resembling hands on the leading edge. There are plates at the back of Reshiram's "hands", that sport a similar color to its neck rings. Reshiram has a feathered or furry feature on its chest, with the lower portion protruding outwards to a point. Long feather-like protrusions jut out of its thighs. On its feet are large gray claws, three at the front and one positioned at the back, resembling high heels. Reshiram's tail is a mass of plume and ribbon-like extensions, surrounded by two large bands, similar to the ones around its neck. When its emotions surge, it enters {{form|Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode}}, and its tail lights up with a fiery glow.
Reshiram has a jet engine-like tail used to accelerate itself when flying in high speeds. It can also store huge amounts of heat energy and unleashes it in one blast and its fire can burn everything into nothing. Reshiram is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Blue Flare}}, though Victini can learn it if from an event.


===Behavior===
Reshiram has a jet engine-like tail, which it uses to accelerate itself when flying at high speeds. It can send flames from its tail into the air to incinerate everything around it. By flaring its tail, Reshiram can move the world's atmosphere and change the weather. This tail generator is also activated when influenced by either {{m|Fusion Bolt}} or {{m|Bolt Strike}}, which in turn powers up Reshiram's own {{m|Fusion Flare}} or {{m|Blue Flare}}, its [[signature move]]s. Reshiram loves [[Reshiram Treat|Reshiram Treats]] made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past.
In a Unova myth about the twin heroes, as Reshiram sided with the older brother who sought truth, the Vast White Pokemon firmly believes in truth. It has a hatred for {{p|Zekrom}}, who sided with the younger brother.
===Habitat===


===Diet===
In [[Unova]] mythology, Reshiram sided with the older brother who sought the truth. As a result, it firmly believes in truth. Reshiram is said to be {{p|Zekrom}}'s equal in battle, meaning neither of the two dragons can truly defeat the other. Both are powerful enough to destroy the region they reside in. Reshiram can transform into the [[Light Stone]] should its body get destroyed or by {{p|Kyurem}}'s tendril-like appendages. It can willingly transform back from said stone when awakened by a hero who believes in truth. According to one myth, Reshiram is said to burn down kingdoms of people who ignore truth due to being consumed by greed.

==In the anime==
Reshiram is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Blue Flare by leveling up.
[[File:Reshiram Zekrom anime.png|250px|thumb|Reshiram and Zekrom in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Reshiram will appear in ''[[M14|Victini and the White Hero: Reshiram]]''. Along with {{p|Zekrom}}, Reshiram can speak through [[Talking Pokémon | telepathy]].


===Minor appearances===
Reshiram and [[Kyurem (Pokémon)#Form data|White]] {{p|Kyurem}} are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Fusion Flare by leveling up. Reshiram and White Kyurem are also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Turboblaze}} as an [[Ability]].
Reshiram made a brief cameo in the opening of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]''. A statue of Reshiram appeared in {{an|Iris}}'s flashback in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]''.

* Reshiram was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Zekrom}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010.
[[File:Reshiram Yellow Battle Chess.png|thumb|Reshiram in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
** This makes the two the first Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
* In games prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Reshiram has a catch rate of 45. This is likely due to Reshiram being a required capture during the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}.
** They are also the 499th and the 500th Pokémon revealed to Japanese audiences.
* Reshiram was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Zekrom}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010. This makes them the first two Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Elemental type|type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Reshiram.
* Reshiram, as well as Zekrom, made an appearance alongside {{p|Pikachu}} and a {{i|Poké Ball}} in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
** Due to being a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon as well, Reshiram is the only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon that is not weak to {{t|Water}}.
* Reshiram appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. Alongside Zekrom, the player must lose a specific number of pieces (four in Reshiram's case) to use it, and it takes four spaces on the board.
* Reshiram has the highest base stat total and {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. Tied with {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, it has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. Tied with {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Dialga}}, it has the highest Special Attack of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
* The initial design drafts for what would become Reshiram and its counterpart Zekrom were done by [[Keiko Moritsugu]],<ref name=Moritsugu>[https://imgur.com/a/cgf0g14 Archive of deleted tweet by Keiko Moritsugu, explaining which Generation V Pokémon she had designed]</ref> while their final designs were created by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name=1up>''How Pokemon Get Made'', 1up.com ([https://web.archive.org/web/20130510123211/http://www.1up.com/news/how-pokemon-get-made Archive])</ref>
* Reshiram is required to be caught in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]] 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.
<!--The 1up.com article is spelled that way, without the acute e.-->
** It and {{p|Zekrom}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the [[main series]] games that are required to be caught to progress the story.
** According to Moritsugu, Zekrom's final design is mostly similar to her draft, while Reshiram's final design ended up being significantly different from her draft.<ref name=Moritsugu/>
** It does not have to be caught if the player has a full [[party]] and [[PC]]. Instead, it will later appear at [[Dragonspiral Tower]].
* Due to its ability, no combination of types and abilities is resistant to both types of Reshiram's [[STAB]] attacks.
* Reshiram, as well as {{p|Zekrom}}, made an appearance along side {{p|Pikachu}} and a [[Poké Ball]] in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
* Reshiram and its counterpart, {{p|Zekrom}}, are the only version mascots to have two [[signature moves]].


===Origin===
===Origin===
Reshiram and its counterpart {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Reshiram has a light, airy, ladylike design to contrast to Zekrom's tough and manly look. Its tail, the center point of its design, is based on a blowtorch or Rocket Engine. Appearance wise, it resembles a mix of animals, including a bird, a {{wp|canid}} such as a fox or a wolf, and a {{wp|Wyvern}}. It as well shares a few, but not many, traits with the {{wp|White Tiger}}, which represents yin, the black, feminine side of yin yang. This would explain why Reshiram is the feminine white one, rather than black like the side it coresponds with. The crest on its head and its feathers resemble smoke trails as well as white {{wp|fire}}, which can burn up to temperatures of 1,500 °C (2,730 °F). The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to {{wp|Cain and Abel}}.
Reshiram and its counterpart {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}, directly referenced by Reshiram's Japanese [[Pokémon category|category name]]: はくようポケモン ''White Yang Pokémon''. Reshiram's design was made to be light, airy, graceful, and feminine, to contrast Zekrom's tough and masculine design.<ref name=1up/><ref>(February 10, 2011). [https://www.bisafans.de/spiele/editionen/schwarz-weiss/gamefreak.php Interview with Game Freak in London] by Bisafans (Page 1) (German)</ref> Its feminine design, however, contrasts the traditionally masculine characterization of yang in Taoism. In both versions of the [[M14|fourteenth movie]], however, it speaks with a distinctly male voice. Its tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.<ref name=1up/>
 
Reshiram in its Light Stone form may take inspiration from the Jewish concepts of {{wp|Urim and Thummim}} (possibly translated as “light and perfection”). In pop culture, they are commonly depicted as a white and black stone. Its association with truth would align with the idea of light.
 
Appearance-wise, it resembles a {{wp|wyvern}} with characteristics of other animals, such as birds, {{wp|pterosaur}}s, and canines. The crest on its head and its feathers resemble smoke trails, as well as white fire, which can burn up to temperatures of 1,500&nbsp;°C (2,730&nbsp;°F). The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to {{wp|Romulus and Remus}} or {{wp|Cain and Abel}}. There is also some resemblance to the Zoroastrian belief of two equally powerful deities, one representing light and truth, and the other representing lies and darkness. In this case, Reshiram can resemble {{wp|Ahura Mazda}}, due to its light and winged appearance, and the fact that it sided with truth, but also the fact that it is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, and Ahura Mazda was associated with fire. It may also draw from folkloric depictions of dragons, in that its appearance may be inspired by the {{wp|white dragon}} of England, and its association with fire may also be a reference to how dragons are associated with fire in Western folklore.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
In an interview with the [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] UK (Issue 65), [[Ken Sugimori]] said that the "shira" in Reshiram's name was from the Japanese word for white, 白 ''shiro'', and the "Re" was used because it was a softer sound than Zekrom's "Ze", as Reshiram is a less physically powerful character.
Reshiram is derived from 白 ''shiro'' (white). [[Ken Sugimori]] has also stated that ''Re'' was used because it was a softer sound than {{p|Zekrom}}'s ''Ze'', as Reshiram is a less physically powerful character.<ref>[[Official Nintendo Magazine]] UK, Issue 65</ref>
