Stats & Training
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.
Flames spew from its tail as it flies through the sky like a jet airplane. It’s said that this Pokémon will scorch the world.
According to myth, if people ignore truth and let themselves become consumed by greed, Reshiram will arrive to burn their kingdoms down.
Reshiram Weakness
Reshiram's Dragon/Fire typing leaves it vulnerable to Ground, Rock, and Dragon. 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.
