Reshiram is a large white, draconian Pokémon that represents truth (while its counterpart, Zekrom, represents ideals).

It has a great wispy flowing mane of white feathery fur surrounding its head, striking blue eyes, and several silvery-white rings around its thin, swan-like neck. It has a large cylindrical torch-like tail which functions as a powerful fiery engine. It has with a single silvery band around each of its hands, which are attached to its wings. Its arms are attached to its wings, which are vast and feathery. Its chest feathers resemble the design of the Silver Wing. The lower portion of its body protrudes outward to a point. It has a round belly and thick, powerfully-built legs with three claws on each foot, and a single claw on the back of each foot.

Trivia

  • It's revealed in Black and White 2 that Kyurem, along with Zekrom and Reshiram were all once part of a single Pokémon.
  • Reshiram and Turtonator are the only known Pokémon with a permanent Fire and Dragon typing. The only other Pokémon with this typing is Mega Charizard X.
  • Reshiram's name appears to have originated from the Japanese word "shiro" which means "white", referencing its color. 'Re' is used as it's softer than 'Ze', as this is a weaker pokemon as opposed to Zekrom.
  • Reshiram, along with Zekrom and Kyurem is part of the Tao Trio. Reshiram embodies dynamism.
  • In Movie 14, Reshiram has the same roar as the monster Megaguirus, from the Godzilla franchise. Originally, this roar was Zekrom's, but for Movie 14, Zekrom was given the roar of Baragon, also from the Godzilla franchise. Megaguirus' roar had previously been used in Movie 11 when Zero's fighter released an attack.
  • It has a strong resemblance with Blue-Eyes White Dragon of Yu-Gi-Oh due to having blue eyes and white body.
  • Reshiram‘s voice when speaking telepathically is voiced by Shosuke Tanihara in Pokémon The Movie: Black and Marc Thompson in the movie’s dub. Unlike the voices of Zekrom and Kyurem, however, Reshiram speaks in an elegant tone rathe than a raspy one.
  • Reshiram also appears in a Dream World minigame; if the WIFI Reshiram from the White version game is sent to the Dream World, in the special home Victini appears to the player, and in the minigame's intro, Victini fails to destroy the barrier alone, so the player must ask his/her WIFI Reshiram to help destroy the barrier by collecting power ups, and at the end, Reshiram destroys the barrier by using a flame attack.
  • It protects the PokéPark in PokéPark 2 while Zekrom protects Wish Park.
  • In Hyperdimension Neptunia, a DLC weapon for Ram, the Staff of Ideals, is based on Reshiram when fused with Kyurem.
