Use with Sun Support. This set is all about doing ridicules amounts of damage.Blue-flareis super strongSTABin the Sun!Draco-meteorisSTAB+Switch whileDragon-pulsewould be for continued use.Solar-beamis powerfulcoverage.Focus-blastis strongcoverage. Just to give you an idea of how strong this is, in the Sun Reshiram’sBlue-flarecan 2KO full S.Defense and HP Lugia with Multi-scale.

Flame-chargehas no offensive use on this set it is for raising his speed from Decent to great.Blue-flareis the STAB and it is VERY STRONG STAB at that.Dragon-pulseis also STAB.Psychic/HP(Ground)/Shadow-ballchoose your coverage move.

Ok here is my favorite pwning beast which is best served under the sun:

Reshiram @ Choice SpecsTurboblazeModest252 SpA/ 4 HP/ 252 Spe

Blue FlareFusion FlareDragon PulseDraco Meteor

Ok, so many people are think, what the… no coverage? But Fire and Dragon have perfect coverage! Blue Flare is the best STAB move of choice, and under the sun will OHKO anything that does not resist it, excluding the pink blobs, and leave massive dents in those that do. Fusion Flare may be weaker, but with its 100/100 typing, he doesn’t need to worry about missing his target. Dragon Pulse is also STAB and will leave hole in your opponents team that will stay forever! Draco Meteor is a favorite though because the first one will OHKO almost anything in the Ubers tier excluding bulky types like Lugia, Ferrothorn, Arceus-Steel, and few others.

Reshirame

Ability: Turbo Blaze

Item: Power Herb

EVs: 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 6 HPNature: Modest/Timid

Blue Flame/Fusion Flame: STAB Power or Accuracy?

Dragon Pulse: Dragon STAB, Best for UBERS

Solar Beam: Coverage with item Power Herb for one turn use.

Earth Power: Coverage Good ground special attack

Alright, this is a bit late, but,

Reshiram @ CharcoalAbility: TurboblazeNature: ModestEV’s: 252 Sp. Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HPMoves:

Blue Flare,amazing power and STABDragon Pulse,pretty good power and STABSolar Beam,Rock/Ground/Water coverageSunny Day,boosts Blue Flare and makes Solar Beam take one turn

After using Sunny Day, Blue Flare will do 210% damage. That makes it do 273 damage with STAB, Charcoal and Sun boost.

Reshiram @ Flame PlateAbility: TurboblazeEVs: 76 HP / 124 Def / 124 SpA / 92 SpD / 92 SpeModest Nature-Ancient Power-Blue Flare-Fusion Flare-Dragon Pulse

Fusion Flare and Blue Flare are great moves and are both signature moves, while Ancient Power is there for stats and coverage. Enjoy!

Reshiram @ LeftoversRole: Sweeper/DefoggerAbility: TurboblazeNature: Modest (+SP attack, -Attack)Evs: 252 HP, 252 SP AttackMove set:

Defog: Gets rid of hazards as well as lowering their evasion which essentially makes you more accurateBlue Flare: Strong move, STAB, Accuracy increase with defogDragon Pulse: STAB, decent power, Dragon/Fire is great coverageRoost: Heals Reshiram up

Definitely a strong Pokemon. Stronger than Zekrom? Maybe not, but powerful nonetheless. Its ability does effect Heatran, who I doubt you will see much in ubers but useful none the less. It bypasses Multiscale and Blue Flare can burn, which is bad for a Zekrom.

Well I went for a bit of a controversial special attacker set:

Reshiram @ Power HerbAbility: TurboblazeNature: ModestEVs: 252 SpA / 252 SpA / 4 Dec

Dragon Pulse (STAB)Flamethrower (STAB)Solar Beam (Die, Rocks and Grounds)Roost (Healing)

So this is meant to be a special attacking Reshiram. It runs on Flamethrower as opposed to Fusion Flare and Blue Flare, as Flamethrower has less power but 3 times the PP. THREE TIMES THE PP!! That overall adds up to more power! Solar Beam is to kill those Rock and Ground types, and executes in 1 turn with Power Herb. Dragon Pulse just kills other Dragon types.cough coughZekrom.I love Reshiram - with this it’s a beast!

Sunny Sweeper Reshiram- This Reshiram and it’s moveset can be used in Fire type monotype team or a Drought team ONLY.- If there is no Sun, you can consider giving the Power Herb item to ReshiramReshiram @ Life Orb/ Choice Specs/ Choice ScarfAbility: TurboblazeEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Blue Flare- Ancient Power- Draco Meteor- Solar BeamBlue Flare for STAB and Burn, Ancient Power for the Major Stat boost, Draco Meteor for high damage, STAB, last hit before fainting, countering Reshiram’s Dragon weakness. Solar Beam for both Rock and Grass coverage.

I’ve hoped I’ve helped!

Gen 8 UbersReshiram @ Choice SpecsAbility: TurboblazeEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Blue Flare- Draco Meteor- Focus Blast- PsychicExplanation:Blue Flare and Draco Meteor are STAB moves. Focus Blast is to get rid of rock Types. Psychic is for additional coverage.

For all those with an adamant or Jolly natured reshiram: I got yaReshiram @ Life Orb/Lum berryAbility: TurboblazeEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeAdamant/Jolly Nature- Stone Edge/Roost/Steel Wing- Flare Blitz- Outrage- Dragon DanceWith nice speed, it can outspeed most things with a +1 boost. Outrage is a powerful dragon STAB and so is flare blitz. Roost can be used to heal off flare blitz damage. Stone edge is basically the best other physical move, but if you want coverage.(altho 70 base power ain’t so good)

Reshiram @ Life OrbAbility: TurboblazeEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeIVs: 0 AtkTimid Nature

AnalysisLife Orbmakes Reshiram’s attacks greater with its awesome 150 Sp. Attack.Turboblazehits Pokemon regardless of their ability and is Reshiram’s only ability.Modestboosts Reshiram’s great Special Attack.

Draco Meteoris very strong STAB but it falls off because of the -2 Sp. Attack drop. UseDragon Pulsefor no Sp. Attack drop.Blue Flareis awesome and has no downside besides the fact it has a 15% chance to miss.Fusion Flaredoesn’t miss if the opponent does not lower your accuracy or raise their evasion.Solar Beamtakes care of Reshiram’s two main weaknesses: Ground and Rock. It also takes care of the Water types that hit it neutrally.Roosthelps Reshiram heal back to full health if it ever gets low due to Life Orb.

This Reshiram should ideally be used on a sun and Tailwind team. You got Blue Flare being boosted to mind boggling amounts of damage and you have Solar Beam’s one turn attack to take care of Reshiram’s weaknesses. Tailwind takes care of Reshiram’s good Speed.

Z tailwind sets up Tailwindandincrease crit ratio by 2 stages. How it’s helpful: you almost completely ignore the s.atk drop by Draco meteor!Blue flare and Draco meteor are STAB. Stone edge for pesky Ho-ohs.Calcs:Vs primal groudon:

252+ SpA Turboblaze Reshiram Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 100 SpD Groudon-Primal on a critical hit: 382-450 (112 - 131.9%) – guaranteed OHKO

AND that’s defensive Ho-oh. Guess what will happen to offensive Ho-oh? (Answer: OHKO)Vs primal Kyogre:

252+ SpA Turboblaze Reshiram Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Kyogre-Primal on a critical hit: 259-306 (75.9 - 89.7%) – guaranteed 2HKO

Primal Kyogre is its best answer. Yet it can’t switch into it.Hope I helped!

Gen 5-8 ReshiramReshiram @Life OrbAbility: TurboblazeEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Blue Flare / Fusion Flare- Dragon Pulse / Draco Meteor- Focus Blast- Solar Beam

• Blue FlareSTAB good 130 power and 20% chance to burn the target but (beware the accuracy)- Draco MeteorSTAB also good 130 power but (beware of the power drop) and small chance to miss.- Dragon Pulse & Fusion Flareare safer options Dragon pulse may only have 85 power but it still does decent damage and has perfect accuracy. Fusion Flare has a power of 100 and 100% accuracy which is good as well.- Solar BeamCoverage against rock ground and water tho you may need to use sunny day or have a drought user so solar beam will activate instantly.- Focus BlastExtra Coverage and to take advantage of Reshiram’s good special attack.

Good teammates for this set include Primal Groudon, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Mega Salamence just to name a few.
