Read more ↓Zekrom is a legendary Dragon/Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, serving as one of the two mascot Pokémon for Pokémon Black Version. It represents ideals and seeks to create a world of truth. Zekrom does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon. Its design is characterized by its powerful, draconic form, dark coloration, and a turbine-like tail that generates electricity. In the games, Zekrom is deeply intertwined with the history of the Unova region, having once fought alongside its counterpart, Reshiram, to establish a new nation. Its unique typing gives it a complex set of type matchups, being strong against Water and Flying types due to its Electric typing, and against Dragon types due to its Dragon typing, but also vulnerable to Ice, Ground, Rock, and other Dragon types. In the anime, Zekrom played a significant role in the Best Wishes series, particularly in the debut episode where it causes a lightning storm that temporarily depowers Ash's Pikachu. Its imposing presence and connection to the ideals of truth have cemented its place as a fan-favorite legendary Pokémon, symbolizing the pursuit of a just world. Zekrom's lore often explores themes of balance and conflict, particularly in its relationship with Reshiram, representing the opposing forces that shape the Unova region's history and future.
