Everything about Reshiram's stat line is built to win. 150 base Sp. Atk leads the way, and even its worst stat (90 Speed) isn't a real liability. Only weak to Ground, Rock, and Dragon. Known as the Vast White Pokemon.
Sp. Atk and Attack carry most of Reshiram's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Near-impossible to catch and yields 3 Sp. Atk EVs. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
This legendary Pokémon can scorch the world with fire. It helps those who want to build a world of truth.
When Reshiram’s tail flares, the heat energy moves the atmosphere and changes the world’s weather.
Reshiram Weakness
GoodReshiram's Dragon/Fire typing leaves it vulnerable to Ground, Rock, and Dragon moves. 5 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Reshiram's overall bulk (100/100/120) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
You can't breed Reshiram or evolve it into anything else. This Dragon/Fire legendary packs 680 stats and doesn't need a chain to be relevant.

STAB runs through Blue Flare and Overheat for the basics, but Reshiram's real strength is the 10-type coverage spread. Rock and Normal hit common defensive types, and the movepool keeps going.

Turboblaze bypasses targets' abilities if they could hinder or prevent moves — that's the one you want on Reshiram. It's the only ability Reshiram has.
Base 90 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Reshiram is a special attacker with base 150 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a wallbreaker.
