        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        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.

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        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.

        💎 Best PvP moveset: Dragon Breath, Fusion Flare, Draco Meteor

        Mega Pokémon that boost Reshiram

        A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Reshiram's Dragon and Fire-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Reshiram.

        Dragon Dragon

        Fire Fire

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

        Catch Rates

        Catch Rates

        The base catch rate for Reshiram in Pokémon GO is 1.67%, calculated for catching a Level 20 with no berries. Curved Great throw has a 4.21% chance to catch, and adding a Razz Berry raises that to 6.25%.

                  Catch probability with multiple throws

                  In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Reshiram, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                  To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                  Catch rate formula

                  Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                  • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                  • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                  There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                  Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
