Reshiram's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Reshiram PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

The Dragon/Fire-type Reshiram is an amazing Pokémon to have, as this stunning white beast is a top-notch Fire type and a good Dragon type, thanks to its excellent offenses and defenses. 🔥🐲

Access to its signature move, Fusion Flare, is mandatory to ensure optimal performance. ‼️

💎 Reshiram's best moveset for PvE is Fire Fang and Fusion Flare.

⚔️ Raids

Discounting Megas and Shadows, Reshiram comes just behind Blacephalon in Fire-type DPS while boasting superior TDO. As a Dragon type, it is surpassed in stats, but more importantly, it doesn't have Dragon Tail. Still, a super useful Pokémon overall. 🙂

🛡️ Gyms

Legendaries can't be placed in Pokémon GO Gyms.

Reshiram PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Reshiram is not usable in the Great League and gets severely underpowered in the Ultra League, making its PvP relevance limited to the Master League.

Aside from having the same stats as Dialga, Reshiram shares another useful trait: no weaknesses to Fairy and Ice. This gives it an advantage, as it can handle Dragon matchups with Dragon Breath and Draco Meteor (a nuke) while Fusion Flare baits shields and deals super-effective damage to Ice and Steel types, as well as tackling Fairy Pokémon successfully.

Additionally, Reshiram's flexible moveset allows it to function as either a lead or a closer, providing great team-building options.

On the downside, Groudon and Kyogre pose a serious challenge, so it’s best to avoid them.
