Kyurem (Japanese: キュレム, HepburnKyuremu) (KYOO-rem[1]) is a Dragon/Ice-type Legendary Pokémon[1] introduced in Generation V. It is part of the Tao Trio, along with Reshiram and Zekrom.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Kyurem Formes

Kyurem's other Forms (Black Kyurem and White Kyurem)

Kyurem is portrayed as an ice-covered, hunch-backed draconian entity with small arms and large bulky legs, along with a damaged wing and chipped horn. Its ice-covered wings are attached to its shoulder blades. It has a fin-like structure by its neck with a small yellow streak down its arrow-shaped head. Ice covers its face completely except for its eyes, which are yellow. Additionally, Kyurem has two other forms in which it can be fused with either Zekrom or Reshiram.

Special Abilities[]

Kyurem can produce ultracold air. It can also change form by using the DNA Splicers (Drayden's family treasure) to turn Reshiram or Zekrom back into the Light Stone or Dark Stone and then merging with it. The process can also be reversed. In Black and White Versions 2, when under the control of Ghetsis, it appears to turn into some sort of awakened form where its wings are revealed to be node-like appendages that absorb energy, as well as tendrils that shoot fiery energy which it uses to trap Zekrom/Reshiram, then absorb them.

Behavior[]

Kyurem's body is made entirely out of ice and can release extremely cold air. It also gains the ability to manipulate both electricity and fire in addition to its normal cryokinetic abilities; its additional electricity manipulation results from being fused with Zekrom while its fire-based abilities comes from fusing with Reshiram.

Habitat[]

Kyurem makes its home in the Giant Chasm of the Unova region.

Origin[]

There are conflicting ideas on the origin of Kyurem. According to the old woman in Lacunosa Town, Kyurem descended from an icy comet, which simultaneously created the Giant Chasm, and took residence there. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, however, it is stated by Drayden that Kyurem was created alongside Reshiram and Zekrom and may be all that's left. Also, in-game, it is found out that the substance that makes up the Giant Chasm dates from the same time period as Dragonspiral Tower. This version of the story is more viable based on the Pokédex entry that states that Kyurem wishes to be completed with truth and ideals, thereby becoming the Original Dragon once more.

Evolution[]

Kyurem does not evolve.

Appearances[]

Other[]

In Side Games[]

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, Kyurem is the main antagonist of the story. It is brutal and powerful, savagely attacking Hydreigon, who is the player's helper and the Voice of Life. Kyurem is the penultimate boss of the main storyline.

It attacks with both a fiery Dragon Pulse that blasts in a straight line, or Glaciate, a freezing wind that's a sure hit, and also lowers speed. However, after being defeated, it is revealed that it is actually being controlled by a greater force, called the Bittercold.

Trivia[]

  • Kyurem is the first Legendary Pokémon that can fuse with other Legendary Pokémon, the second being Necrozma and the third Calyrex. (Necrozma; Solgaleo/Lunala, Kyurem; Reshiram/Zekrom, Calyrex; Glastrier/Spectrier).
  • Out of all of Kyurem's Pokédex entries, its entry in Pokémon White is the shortest, at only nine words.
  • It's revealed in Black and White 2 that Kyurem, along with Zekrom and Reshiram were all part of a single Pokémon.
  • Kyurem has yellow eyes, which represent Zekrom's lightning. Zekrom has red eyes, which stand for Reshiram's fire. Reshiram has blue eyes, representing Kyurem's ice.
  • When encountered in the wild after navigating through the Giant Chasm, Kyurem is at Level 75. This is the third highest level of Pokémon encountered in the wild after Lv. 80 Arceus and Lv. 100 Magikarp.
  • Kyurem has the third highest stat total of all Generation V Pokémon, 660 being surpassed only by Reshiram and Zekrom who have equal totals of 680. However, when in either Black or White form, it's stat total jumps to 700, being the fourth highest stat total of all Pokémon, behind Arceus (720), Mega Rayquaza and both forms of Mega Mewtwo (780), and Eternamax Eternatus (1125), while tying with several Mega Evolved Pseudo Legendaries.
  • When caught, Kyurem holds the Comet Shard, an item also found within its lair, the Giant Chasm.
  • Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem share a remixed version of one battle theme. Reshiram's has a fire effect and Zekrom's has an electricity effect, but Kyurem's has a bass playing in the background instead.
  • No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Kyurem.
  • Kyurem's species may be the Boundary Pokémon because it may keep Reshiram and Zekrom from fighting each other, acting as the "peacemaker."
  • Kyurem is the only member of its trio not to have a signature ability, as it has Pressure, while Zekrom and Reshiram have Teravolt and Turboblaze, respectively. Although when Kyurem transforms into Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, it replaces its Pressure ability with Zekrom and Reshiram's abilities, Teravolt and Turboblaze.
  • Kyurem changes into Black Kyurem when it takes energy from Zekrom and turns into White Kyurem when it takes energy from Reshiram in the movie MS015: Kyurem VS The Sacred Swordsman - Keldeo.
  • Kyurem's movesets in its two forms are special in the way that two of its moves change: Scary Face gets replaced by either Fusion Bolt or Fusion Flare for Black Kyurem or White Kyurem respectively, and Glaciate gets replaced by its other signature moves: Freeze Shock for Black Kyurem and Ice Burn for White Kyurem.
  • Kyurem's Fusion Bolt move is smaller than its body.
  • In the movie Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice, it is depicted as the strongest Dragon-type Pokémon.
  • In both Black 2 and White 2, it is shown that Kyurem's wings are covers for the part of its body that causes the fusions.
  • Black Kyurem has the highest Attack of all Ice-type Pokémon, and the fourth highest of all Pokémon, behind Attack Forme Deoxys & Mega Rayquaza (both 180), Kartana (181), Mega Heracross (185), and Mega Mewtwo X (190).
    • White Kyurem has the highest Special Attack of all Ice-type Pokémon, and the fifth highest of all Pokémon, behind Xurkitree (173), Mega Alakazam (175), Attack Forme Deoxys & Mega Rayquaza (both 180), and Mega Mewtwo Y (194).
  • It's unknown if Kyurem has a dormant stone form like Reshiram and Zekrom.
  • In the anime, Kyurem can change freely between Black Kyurem or White Kyurem without any interference from Zekrom or Reshiram. However, it is not known if this form change affects Zekrom or Reshiram in any way.
  • In Pokémon The Movie:, Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice is voiced by Katsumi Takahashi and Marc Thompson in the dub. Kyurem speaks in a deep raspy voice similar to Zekrom.
  • In Super Smash Bros., Kyurem is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Icy Wind.
  • Kyurem is the only member of the Tao Dragon Trio that doesn't share its type combination with a Mega Evolution (Reshiram & Mega Charizard X are Fire & Dragon & Zekrom & Mega Ampharos are Electric & Dragon).
  • Kyurem (in its White form) is one of the collectable spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Origin[]

With Reshiram and Zekrom representing yin and yang respectively, Kyurem may be based on Wuji, the absence of Yin and Yang. Along with this and its Ice typing, it may be based on the concept of absolute zero, being a play on "absolute zero" meaning either "nothing" or "really cold temperatures". It may also be based on a comet considering its edged and icy body (comets are mainly made up of ice crystals) and it coming from a meteor from space. Its design overall seems to resemble a Tyrannosaurus.

Etymology[]

Kyurem and its Japanese name, Kyuremu, come from 急冷 (kyūrei, rapid cooling), 冷 (rei, cold), 零 (rei, zero), and 無 (mu, nothing).
