Kyurem (キュレム,Kyurem) is a creature from thePokémon series.
Origin[edit]
Kyurem is a dualDragon/Ice-typeLegendary Pokémon introduced inGeneration V, and along withReshiram andZekrom, it is part of theTao trio. Kyurem is categorized within the Pokédex at #646 as the "Boundary Pokémon". It is capable of generating a powerful, freezing energy, and can also fuse with another member of the Tao trio. Its alternate forms, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, serve as the mascots ofPokémon Black Version 2 andWhite Version 2 respectively. Kyurem has three signature moves, depending on its form: normal hasGlaciate, which lowers Speed; Black Kyurem hasFreeze Shock, which can inflictparalysis; and White Kyurem hasIce Burn, which can inflict aburn.
Icy Wind is an Ice-type special move with 55 base power and 95% accuracy, which hits all adjacent foes and lowers their Speed by one stage. It is nearly identical in function to Glaciate, albeit with 10 less power and 5 morePP. Kyurem is set to know the move at level 1; since it is always found at high levels, theMove Relearner is needed to access it.

While this Dragon/Ice-type Pokémon is definitely a Pokémon, some believe it is what remained after Reshiram and Zekrom were split apart. In battle, it will generate incredibly cold energy and then unleash it using Icy Wind. This move will deal constant damage before freezing opponents.

Kyurem is thought to be an empty shell left behind when Reshiram and Zekrom split into two. Its icy energy is so powerful that it can freeze its own body. When Kyurem has built up enough energy, it can unleash Icy Wind, shooting spirals of cold left and right. It not only damages fighters but leaves them frozen.- :Pokémon Black 2/White 2 (10/2012)
