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. 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 [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode]] and its tail lights up with a blue light.

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 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. In a Unovan myth about the twin heroes, Zekrom sided with the younger brother who sought 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 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. Zekrom 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.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Zekrom and its counterpart {{p|Reshiram}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}, directly referenced by Zekrom's Japanese [[Pokémon category|category name]]: こくいんポケモン Black Yin Pokémon. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Zekrom was designed to have a tougher and more masculine design to contrast to Reshiram's light, airy, feminine design.<ref name=1up /> Zekrom's masculine design also contrasts the traditionally feminine characterization of yin in Taoism. Zekrom's tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.<ref name=1up />

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. Zekrom’s 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.
