Reshiram is a Dragon/Fire-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is the mascot for Pokémon Black. Reshiram comes from shiro (Japanese for “white”). Re was also used in its name as it sounds softer compared to the Ze in Zekrom’s name.
Reshiram is a large, white draconic Pokémon that represents truth (while its counterpart, Zekrom, represents ideals). Reshiram has a slightly mammalian-looking face that resembles that of a white lion. 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, white and feathery. Its chest feathers resemble the design of the Silver Wing. The lower portion of its body protrudes outward to a feathered 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.
Zekrom is a Dragon/Electric-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is the mascot for Pokèmon White. Zekrom comes from kura (Japanese for “black”). Ze was also used in its name as it sounds harder compared to the Re in Reshiram’s name.
Zekrom is a large, black draconian Pokémon that seems to share its theme with its counterpart, Reshiram. Compared to its other counterparts, it also appears to have more of an upright body that appears to be vaguely humanoid. Zekrom has piercing red eyes and dark gray to black skin that seems to be armor-like. Zekrom also has a large, generator-like tail and long mane that ends in a tip, usually glowing in an iridescent blue color. It also has a set of small black wings behind its three-clawed arms.
Reshiram, when paired with Zekrom, may be based on yin and yang, a concept originating in Chinese philosophy. Yin and yang are intended to represent dualism, which can be seen in the design of Reshiram which has a lighter, feminine, more natural appearance in contrast to Zekrom’s darker, masculine, and more industrial appearance. Physically, Reshiram overall seems to resemble a wyvern or bird. While Zekrom overall seems to resemble a European dragon and an electrcic turbine.
