The energy dragon trio is the collective term used to refer to the trio of Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem. They represent the concepts of yin, yang, and wuji, respectively, and control the three powerful elements of Fire, Thunder, and Ice.

Mythos

The mythologies of the trio are different yet somehow connected. The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by two brothers ruling the nation. However, the brothers' rule caused great conflicts as they fought over how best to rule the nation, and, due to the fighting, the dragon was split into two separate Pokémon. Each dragon resided with its respective master, and they decided to fight in an endless battle. It was foretold that they would fight until the region of Unova was destroyed. To stop the battle, the people decided to put both dragons into deep sleep. At the beginning of Black and White, one of them resides in the Dragon Spiral Tower.

Kyurem's origins are much different than those of the other two. The third dragon came down to Earth from an icy meteor and crashed into a place called Giant Hole. An old legend in Kagome Town describing Kyurem claims that it would take people and Pokémon away from the town and eat them; this is why the town is now surrounded by a giant wall.

Trivia

  • Like the legendary beasts in HeartGold and SoulSilver, each member of the trio share battle music that is slightly remixed to match their secondary typing.
    • Zekrom's theme has a crackling thunder effect and Reshiram has a burning fire effect. However, Kyurem does not have a special effect, but has an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
  • It is so far the only legendary trio with no known trio master as of yet.
