===According to Legends...: Tao trio===
===Gotta Catch 'Em All!: Reshiram===
* The '''Tao trio''', sometimes called the '''energy trio''', is the collective term used to refer to the three powerful [[legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] Region: {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}. According to Unova myths, the [[legendary trio]] was created during the war plaguing the region.  
* '''Reshiram''' (Japanese: '''レシラム''' ''Reshiram'') is a dual-type {{t|Dragon}}/{{t|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. Reshiram is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Black}}, appearing on the boxart.
* Much like members of other legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their primary type. Both Reshiram and Zekrom have a base stat total of 680 while Kyurem's is 660. Reshiram represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yang}} and controls {{t|Fire}}, Zekrom represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yin}} and controls {{t|Electric|Thunder}}, and Kyurem represents the concept of {{wp|wuji (philosophy)|wuji}} (the absence of yin and yang) and controls {{t|Ice}}.
* Along with {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Kyurem}}, it is a member of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region.  
* The mythologies of the trio are implied to be connected, despite having no true relation. The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life — truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger — and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin.
* It is classified as the "Vast White Pokémon" and has the Ability {{a|Turboblaze}}. It is #643 in the National Pokédex and #149 in the Unova regional dex. It is expected to appear in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.
* Kyurem's origins are much different than those of the other two. The third dragon came down to the Pokémon world from an icy meteor and crashed into a place called Giant Chasm.
* Reshiram made its anime debut in a brief cameo in the opening of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]''.
* Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem are occasionally known as the "Blazing White Yang", "Electrifying Black Yin", and "Frozen Boundary", respectively. This is a reference to the concept of Yin and Yang of Taoism.  
* A {{mov|Reshiram|Reshiram|14}} appeared in ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom]]'' and ''[[M14|Black—Victini and Reshiram]]''. In the former, it is controlled by [[Damon]], while in the latter, it is controlled by {{Ash}}. Along with {{mov|Zekrom|Zekrom|14}}, Reshiram can speak through telepathy.
* {{TCG|Reshiram}} has been featured on {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Reshiram (TCG)}} - 1}} different cards since it debuted in the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Reshiram cards are normally {{ct|Fire}} {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}.
