About its forms: Forms have different stats, abilities, and signature moves. Kyurem fuses with Reshiram to become White Kyurem or Zekrom to become Black Kyurem. The DNA Splicers are used to fuse Kyurem with another Pokémon or separate them again. While fused, the other Pokémon disappears. Signature moves are replaced by the equivalent moves when switching forms.
