'''Reshiram''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レシラム''' ''Reshiram'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. | |||
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. | |||
Reshiram is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], appearing on the boxart. It is also the first of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region. | |||
==Biology== | |||
===Physiology=== | |||
Reshiram is a white-colored, bipedal Pokémon of seemingly draconian and mammalian basis, with some of the avian features of feathers. Reshiram's snout is mammalian in appearance, most resembling something vulpine or even canine. Streaming out from the upper side of the snout and outward from the head is a long, voluminous wispy mane, the top of which forms a spike or small head-crest of some sort. Reshiram's face is fringed with spiky features, with one small, pointed extension of it below the chin. | |||
Reshiram's neck is long and slender, with a collar-esque protrusion of fur or feathers seeming held in place by two somewhat glass-like neck-bands, with similar bands present on the "wrists" of Reshiram’s forelimbs. Reshiram's forelimbs are expansive, wing-like appendages or some unusual sort of wings themselves; the beginning portions of the limbs are slender and generally conventionally arm-like, but flare out into a more wing-like, feathered section farther on the limb, sporting four claws on the leading edge. On Reshiram's chest is a feathered feature most similar in shape to a [[Silver Wing]], with the lower portion protruding outward to a point. Long feathers spread out from Reshiram's thighs, its feet with large claws—three in front, and the one in the back positioned at an angle somewhat like high heels. Reshiram's tail is a thick mass of a center-most plume and ribbon-like secondary extensions, surrounded by two large bands. | |||
====Gender differences==== | |||
Reshiram is a genderless species. | |||
===Special abilities=== | |||
Reshiram has a jet engine-like tail used to accelerate itself when flying in high speeds. It can also store huge amounts of heat energy and unleashes it in one blast and its fire can burn everything into nothing. Reshiram is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Cross Flame}} and {{m|Blue Fire}}. | |||
