With the passive recovery and status immunity from Poison Heal, Reshiram is a threatening sweeper that also offers good defensive utility. Quiver Dance is the best setup move to increase both Reshiram's offensive presence and special bulk. Lava Plume is a consistent STAB move with good PP and an useful burn chance for neutralizing physical attackers. Eruption is a much stronger alternative that offers stronger wallbreaking abilities such as 2HKOing walls like Snorlax and Umbreon when boosted. However, it offers inconsistent damage, lacks the burn chance, and has pitiful PP, limiting its wallbreaking utility, especially in the long-term. Dynamax Cannon is a secondary STAB move to hit opposing Dragon-types like Eternatus, Zekrom, and Reshiram hard. It is also Reshiram's best option to hit Water-types and has the utility of punishing Dynamax as well. Earth Power provides valuable coverage against Flash Fire or Primordial Sea Steel-types, while still hitting the aforementioned Dragon-types for super effective damage. Spiky Shield can be run to allow Reshiram to gain a free turn of Poison Heal as well as scout for Choice-locked wallbreakers' moves. Volt Switch is a potential option to provide momentum, chip down switch-ins, and hit Water-type checks, but Reshiram struggles to forgo the other moves on the set. A Timid nature is necessary to outspeed neutral natured Zekrom and opposing Reshiram, as well as outspeeding Zacian-C after one Quiver Dance boost.

With a solid defensive typing, Reshiram is capable of checking threatening wallbreakers, including Galarian Darmanitan-Zen and Zacian-C. Lava Plume is the best STAB option with its good base power, PP, and burn chance. Spectral Thief allows Reshiram to check setup sweepers like Poison Heal Zekrom and Intrepid Sword users like Zacian-C and Galarian Darmanitan-Zen. Dynamax Cannon threatens opposing Reshiram, Zekrom, and Eternatus. Anchor Shot is an alternative for trapping opposing Imposter users and combines well with Entrainment, which allows Reshiram to trap and remove opposing Poison Heal users. Heavy-Duty Boots is the best item to avoid hazard damage, especially from Stealth Rock. Fur Coat is the ability of choice to reliably switch-in against the aforementioned physical wallbreakers, although Magic Bounce can be used to prevent status moves from Poison Heal Pokemon like Zekrom and Zacian.
