[[File:643Reshiram-Activated.png|thumb|left|250px|Reshiram's tail turbine activated]]
Reshiram is a white-colored, bipedal Pokémon 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 which resemble 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.

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.


Reshiram has a long and slender neck, with a fluffy, collar-like protrusion jutting out of two grey, glass-like neck-bands. Its arms begin slender and arm-like, but then flare out into a more wing-like appearance, sporting four claws which resemble hands on the leading edge. There are plates at the back of Reshiram's "hands", that sport a similar colour 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.

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 is capable of moving the world's atmosphere and changing 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}}. In Unova mythology, Reshiram sided with the older brother who sought the truth. As a result, it firmly believes in truth.

====''Episode N''====
====Other====
Reshiram appears with a major role in the ''Best Wishes! Season 2: Episode N'' arc. It was first seen in [[N]]'s flashback in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]''. N had a flashback of his youth, a moment when he had been at his [[N's Castle|castle]], which, along with its surroundings, had been on fire at the moment. He saw Reshiram appearing before him, and kept looking at it as it flew away. It was later seen in another flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'', rebelling against [[Ghetsis]] and [[Team Plasma]] by burning down N's Castle during a ceremony involving N, Ghetsis and the [[Seven Sages]].

It was seen in fantasies and as a statue in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]''. In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', Ghetsis summoned it using the Light Stone and [[Colress]] used his machine to take control of it. Ghetsis used it to attack {{Ash}}, {{an|N}} and the others when they tried to resist him, but it was ultimately freed once [[Ash's Pikachu]] destroyed Colress's machine. N was then able to convince it that not all humans were evil, and it departed peacefully.

A Reshiram appears in the second XY Series movie, ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. One hundred years prior to the events of the movie, it was summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} alongside a {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Regigigas}}. The three fought Hoopa in [[Dahara City]] but were easily defeated and sent back through portals to their original homes.

''By setting its torch-like tail ablaze, this Pokémon can heat the atmosphere and change the weather. In fact, legend has it that Reshiram's flames are capable of incinerating the world itself, so perhaps the world's continued safety is a sign of its goodwill.

* In games prior to [[Pokémon 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 [[Pokémon Black and White]].
* 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.

* Reshiram, as well as {{p|Zekrom}}, made an appearance alongside {{p|Pikachu}} and a [[Poké Ball]] in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
* In Generation V games, no combination of types and Abilities are resistant to both types of Reshiram's [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] attacks, thanks to its Ability {{a|Turboblaze}} which also nullified {{p|Heatran}}'s {{a|Flash Fire}} if using Fire-type moves. This is no longer true due to the addition of {{t|Fairy}} in {{g|X and Y}}.
* Although Reshiram has a {{Shiny}} palette, {{game|Black and White|s}} are programmed so that a Shiny Reshiram cannot be encountered. It shares this trait with {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Victini}}. However, in Pokémon Omega Ruby, it is possible to encounter a Shiny Reshiram.

===Origin===
===Origin===
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 species: the White Yang Pokémon. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Reshiram has a light, airy, feminine design to contrast to Zekrom's tough and masculine design. While the white design matches Reshiram's yang species names (yang being characterized by light), its feminine design contrasts with yang (yang being characterized as masculine). In both versions of the [[M14|14th movie]], however, Reshiram speaks with a distinctly male voice. Reshiram's tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.<ref>[http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=1641 Interview with Ken Sugimori and development team]</ref> Appearance-wise, it resembles a mix of animals, including a bird, a {{wp|pterosaur}}, and a {{wp|Wyvern}}. 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 °C (2,730 °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 Reshiram is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, and Ahura Mazda was associated with fire.
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 species: the White Yang Pokémon. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Reshiram has a light, airy, feminine design to contrast to Zekrom's tough and masculine design. While the white design matches Reshiram's yang species names (yang being characterized by light), its feminine design contrasts with yang (yang being characterized as masculine).
