Zekrom in Flight Coloring Page

Zekrom soaring through the sky captures this legendary Dragon and Electric-type Pokémon at its most dramatic. The sweeping wings, powerful tail, and dynamic pose give you plenty of interesting shapes to work with, from the turbine-like tail to those distinctive angular armor plates across its body.

What colors work best?

The classic approach uses deep charcoal or black for Zekrom’s body with bright blue or electric cyan for the glowing parts—the eyes, tail engine, and energy accents. Try pairing dark grays with touches of silver or metallic blue to give that armored, mechanical feel. For the sky background, deep purples or stormy blues create nice contrast, or go with warm oranges and reds for a sunset that really makes those electric blues pop. Some colorists like adding green or teal to the electrical effects for an Aurora Borealis vibe.

Did you know?

Zekrom represents ideals and is said to help those who seek to build a better world, which is pretty cool lore for such an intimidating-looking Pokémon. Its tail works like a generator, creating electricity as it spins, which is why it’s often drawn with that glowing turbine effect. Zekrom is also one half of the Tao trio alongside Reshiram, based on the concept of yin and yang—Zekrom embodies the physical world while Reshiram represents truth.

How to color this one

Colored pencils work beautifully here since you can layer dark grays and blacks for depth without losing the line work. Leave the glowing areas white or very light blue, then add color gradually around them to create that luminous effect. For the electrical parts, try using a light hand with your brightest blues first, then add white gel pen or paint pen on top for extra glow. The wings have a membrane-like quality, so using lighter pressure or a slightly different shade than the body helps show their texture.

Who’ll love this?

Pokémon fans who grew up with Black and White will definitely want this one. It’s great for kids who’ve moved past simpler designs and want something with more detail to sink their time into. The dramatic flying pose also appeals to anyone who likes action scenes and dynamic compositions rather than static character portraits.
