Editor's notes

Reshiram's signature Fusion Flare is legacy. Fire Fang with Overheat is what a regular TM gives you and it is still a strong Fire set, so this is a case where the Elite TM is an upgrade rather than a requirement.

As a Dragon attacker it runs Dragon Breath with Draco Meteor. Dragon/Fire typing leaves it weak to Dragon, Ground and Rock only.
