Summary

Zekrom is a black, bipedal Pokémon resembling a saurian winged dragon, characterized by a primarily charcoal-colored hide and pure black patches across its body. It features red sclerae, white irises, and black pupils, along with a small horn-like protrusion on the tip of its snout. A thundercloud-like crest with light-blue coloration adorns its head. When its mouth opens, six pairs of pointed teeth are visible, with two in the upper jaw and four in the lower. Black, stud-like features sit at the base of its neck and atop its shoulders, resembling armor padding. Similar padding exists at the bases of its wings, which have a fanned, webbed shape with a small wing-spike on one edge. The lower arms extend into splayed, webbed, baseball-mitt-like formations with three-clawed, dark-colored hands on the undersides. The front of its waist is black, while its belly and thighs feature thin striations. Its knees, the foremost parts of its three-clawed feet, and its spiked heels are black. Its tail consists of a large, round, conical, and spiked formation with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion. When its emotions surge, Zekrom activates Overdrive mode, causing its tail to light up with a blue light. In Unovan legends, Zekrom and Reshiram were created from a single dragon Pokémon commanded by the twin heroes of Truth and Ideals when it split into two. Zekrom assists anyone who wants to create an ideal world, leading it to ally with the younger brother, while Reshiram sided with the older brother who sought the truth. The two dragon Pokémon battled each other but were equally matched and unable to achieve victory, so the brothers ceased their conflict and agreed that neither was right. However, their sons inherited their ideologies and resumed their clash; the Unova region was subsequently devastated by the combined might of the lightning and fire powers of Zekrom and Reshiram before the two Pokémon disappeared. Zekrom will transform into the Dark Stone should its body get destroyed or when attacked by Reshiram's tendril-like appendages. It can willingly revert back to normal when awakened by a hero who believes in ideals. Zekrom flies throughout Unova while concealing itself in thunderclouds. It has a large generator in its tail that it uses to create electricity, which is powerful enough to scorch the world. Zekrom and Reshiram activate each others' tail generators when they use an enormous thunderbolt and an enormous flame, respectively, at the same time, powering up both attacks. When the inside of its tail spins in a motor-like fashion, it blasts its surroundings with several lightning blasts. It is said in mythology that Zekrom annihilates the kingdoms of people who have lost the righteousness in their hearts with its lightning. In Pokémon the Movie: Black - Victini and Reshiram and White - Victini and Zekrom (M14), Zekrom is shown to be able to speak through telepathy.
