Zekrom, {{p|Reshiram}}, 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. | |||

Zekrom is a black, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a dragon or dinosaur, with dark patches on various portions of its body. It has red sclerae, white irises, and black pupils, as well as a small horn-like protrusion on the tip of its snout. Its head sports a thundercloud-like crest tipped with light-blue coloration. There are six pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, two in the upper jaw and four in the lower. At the base of its neck is a black, stud-like feature, and atop its shoulders are similar, larger features resembling armor padding. The bases of its wings also have such padding, and a fanned, splayed, seemingly webbed shape with a small "wing-spike" on one edge.

There are six pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, two in the upper jaw and four in the lower. At the base of its neck is a black, stud-like feature, and atop its shoulders are similar, larger features resembling armor padding. The bases of its wings also have such padding, and a fanned, splayed, seemingly webbed shape with a small "wing-spike" on one edge. The lower lengths of Zekrom's arms extenuate into splayed, seemingly webbed, somewhat baseball-mitt-like formations, with three-clawed, dark-colored hands on the undersides. The front portion of Zekrom's waist is black-colored, with its belly and thighs having thin striations down their length. Its knees are black, as are the foremost parts of its three-clawed feet and spiked heels. When its emotions surge, it enters {{form|Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode}}, and its tail lights up with a blue light. | ||
Zekrom's tail consists of large, round, conical and spiked formation, likened to an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion. This tail produces energy for its attacks and emits an anti-gravity field, allowing Zekrom to fly through the air with minimal effects from aerodynamic resistance and gravity. It can cause several thunderstorms in one area, and it normally hides in thunderclouds. In | Zekrom's tail consists of a large, round, conical, and spiked formation, likened to an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion. This tail produces energy for its attacks and emits an anti-gravity field, allowing Zekrom to fly through the air with minimal effects from aerodynamic resistance and gravity. This tail generator is also activated when influenced by either {{m|Fusion Flare}} or {{m|Blue Flare}}, which in turn powers up Zekrom's own {{m|Fusion Bolt}} or {{m|Bolt Strike}}, its [[signature move]]s. It can cause several thunderstorms in one area, and it normally hides in thunderclouds. It is said that Zekrom holds the power to destroy the world. Zekrom loves [[Zekrom Treat|Zekrom Treats]] made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. | ||
In a [[Unova]]n myth about the twin heroes, Zekrom sided with the younger brother who sought ideals. Zekrom is said to be {{p|Reshiram}}'s equal in battle, meaning neither of the two dragons can truly defeat the other. Zekrom and Rehsiram are powerful enough to destroy the region they reside in. Zekrom can transform into the [[Dark Stone]] should its body get destroyed or by {{p|Kyurem}}'s tendril-like appendages. Zekorm can willingly transform itself back from said stone when awakened by a hero who believes in ideals. According to one myth, Zekrom uses its lightning to annihilate kingdoms of people who have lost the righteousness in their hearts. It is a gender-unknown species. | |||
Zekrom is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Bolt Strike by leveling up. | |||
Zekrom and [[Kyurem (Pokémon)#Form data|Black]] {{p|Kyurem}} are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Fusion Bolt by leveling up. Zekrom and Black Kyurem are also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Teravolt}} as an [[Ability]]. | |||

Zekrom's design was made to be tough and masculine, to contrast Reshiram's light, airy, graceful, and feminine design.<ref name=1up/><ref name=Bisafans/> Its masculine design, however, contrasts the traditionally feminine characterization of yin in Taoism.

Zekrom in its Dark 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 ideals would align with the idea of perfection. | |||
Appearance-wise, it somewhat resembles a mid-sized to large theropod dinosaur, such as ''{{wp|Allosaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'', and a {{wp|European dragon}}. The crest on its head seems to be based on a thundercloud. 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, Zekrom can be taken to resemble {{wp|Ahriman|Angra Mainyu}}, as opposed to Reshiram resembling {{wp|Ahura Mazda}}, although Zekrom is not evil; rather it is an equally powerful opposing Legendary Pokémon. | Appearance-wise, it somewhat resembles a mid-sized to large theropod dinosaur, such as ''{{wp|Allosaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'', and a {{wp|European dragon}}.
