Raid guide
How the fight goes and what to bring.
Reshiram is Dragon/Fire, weak to Rock, Ground, and Dragon. Rock attackers (Rampardos, Tyranitar) and other Dragons handle it well. It's a manageable trio and duo-able for strong teams. With Fire Fang and Fusion Flare (or legacy Overheat) it anchors your Fire offense, and its Dragon typing lets it flex against Dragon-weak targets too — exceptional value from a single build. The white-and-blue shiny is understated but nice. If you're building your first legendary attacker, Reshiram is the highest-ROI pick available.
Reshiram resists Fire, Grass, Bug, Electric, Steel — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.
