Biology

This Legendary Pokémon's tail flares with fire as it flies through the sky as fast as a jet, and it incinerates everything around it. It can not only heat the atmosphere, changing the weather because of it, but it can scorch the world. It is spoken about in legends.

It likes to help people who want to build a world of truth. They say that those who ignore truth and let themselves be consumed by greed will have Reshiram burn their kingdoms to the ground.
