Zekrom, Reshiram, Kyurem, Black Kyurem, and White Kyurem

The Tao trio is a collective fan term used to refer to the three powerful Legendary Pokémon of the Unova Region: Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem. Other fan terms include Tao dragon trio and energy trio. According to Unova myths, the Legendary trio was created during the war plaguing the region.

Much like members of other Legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has Dragon as their primary blazon. Both Reshiram and Zekrom accept a base stat total of 680 while Kyurem'southward is 660 in its standard form—nevertheless, both White Kyurem and Black Kyurem accept a base stat total of 700.

Each of the members of the trio has command of their own types and sides. Reshiram represents the concept of yang and controls Fire, Zekrom represents the concept of yin and controls Thunder, and Kyurem represents the concept of wuji (the absenteeism of yin and yang) and controls Ice; in its alternate forms it can too control Reshiram's fire and Zekrom's thunder to some extent.

Myths

The mythologies of the trio are implied to be continued, despite having no true relation. The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in lodge to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, divide into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin.

The two dragons were equally matched as they battled and neither conquered the other. As a issue, the brothers set up aside their differences and equally declared that there was no right side, either. But the sons of the heroes resumed the fight, and Reshiram and Zekrom destroyed the region with their fire and lightning powers. They subsequently disappeared afterward.

At the beginning of Black and White, ane of them resides in Dragonspiral Tower, who is chosen upon past North to create his platonic world. The histrion is tasked with finding the other dragon in its corresponding stone (Lite Rock in Black and Night Stone in White) and revive information technology to resolve the history the twins began in the by.

Kyurem'south origins were believed to exist much dissimilar than those of the other two. The tertiary dragon came down to the Pokémon globe from an icy shooting star and crashed into a identify called Giant Chasm. The fact that Star Pieces, Comet Shards and extraterrestrial Pokémon tin can be establish in the Giant Chasm strongly back up this theory. An old legend in Lacunosa Town describing Kyurem claims that it would have people and Pokémon away from the town and swallow them; this is why the town is now surrounded by a giant wall, and why none of its residents set foot outside their homes later on nighttime. During Black two and White 2, however, an NPC claims that this story of Kyurem'south origin might not be totally true. Professor Juniper theorized that the meteorite from the story could have been a Dragon Stone, similar to the ones that Reshiram and Zekrom were revived from. Nonetheless, Drayden tells the player character of an old fable that tells a conflicting story of Kyurem'southward origins. The legend says that when the original dragon carve up into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon was "created" from the leftovers: Kyurem. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to make full in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". This is completed in-game with the creation of its alternate forms, White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, created by Kyurem fusing with Reshiram or Zekrom (simply not both).

In the anime

The Legend of Reshiram was a story told by Cedric Juniper and Due north in Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!. Information technology comes from the White Chapter of Pokémon Mythology.

When a person appears who is searching securely for the truth, Reshiram will appear. At starting time, Reshiram volition battle with that person as a examination of their force and heart. And if it decides that person is a hero, information technology volition pass on the wisdom information technology has accumulated over thousands of years and and then bare information technology fangs against the hero'southward enemies. From that point on, Reshiram will treat the hero with kindness, as a parent would care for a child. But although the person called the hero will be able to attain neat riches and power, the goodness in their heart will exist lost, and the country built past the hero volition be consumed in flames. And then, Reshiram volition depart.

The Fable of the Hero was a story told by Cedric Juniper in Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!. It comes from Section Xviii of the Affiliate of Darkness in Pokémon Mythology.

When the hero turns darkness into light and the hero's heart becomes one with the Pokémon, Zekrom shall descend and lend the hero his power.

In addition, the Three Essentials, mercury, sulfur, and salt, the elements needed to create a philosopher's stone, are considered the "child" of the Two Contraries. When the Essentials and Contraries are merged, they become a iii-headed dragon. This could be the footing for the original dragon, which split up into Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem long agone.

• Reshiram and Zekrom have the highest catch rate of any Legendary Pokémon with a base stat total above 600, with 45 (tied with Rayquaza in Omega Cherry and Alpha Sapphire). This is because the player is forced to grab them to proceed with the storyline in Black and White.
