Set Description
=============
Draco Meteor is Kyurem's strongest STAB move and should be used against Keldeo, Conkeldurr, and Manaphy. Ice Beam is for Landorus-T and all formes of Thundurus and Tornadus. Earth Power is for the likes of non-Air Balloon Heatran and Choice Specs Raikou. Hidden Power Rock gives Kyurem a better matchup against bulkier Charti Berry Volcarona variants.

EVs
=============
The 248 HP and 108 Defense EVs guarantee that Kyurem survives Outrage from Jolly Choice Scarf or Yache Berry Garchomp sets, while the 48 Special Defense EVs let Kyurem survive Hyper Beam from Choice Scarf Porygon-Z. The 104 Special Attack EVs allow Kyurem to have a very favorable chance to OHKO with Draco Meteor against most Conkeldurr sets.

Usage Tips
=============
Choice Specs Kyurem is relatively straightforward, as it should most often attempt to use the move that does the most damage. In certain cases, such as against Sableye, Kyurem should opt to use Ice Beam instead of Draco Meteor to have better odds against specially defensive sets that have Calm Mind, most notably Sableye.

Set Description
=============
Draco Meteor is Kyurem's strongest STAB move and should be used against Keldeo, offensive Snorlax, and Manaphy. Ice Beam is for Landorus-T, both Thundurus forms, both Tornadus forms, and Choice Scarf or Yache Berry Garchomp. Earth Power is for Bulky Band Arcanine, non-Air Balloon Heatran, and Choice Specs Raikou. Hidden Power Rock gives Kyurem a better matchup against bulkier Charti Berry Volcarona variants.

EVs
=============
The 248 HP and 108 Defense EVs guarantee that Kyurem survives Outrage from Jolly Choice Scarf or Yache Berry Garchomp sets, while the 48 Special Defense EVs let Kyurem survive Hyper Beam from Choice Scarf Porygon-Z. The 96 Special Attack EVs allow for Kyurem to have a very favorable roll against most Conkeldurr sets, while the remaining 8 Speed EVs allow Kyurem to outspeed specially defensive Choice Band Arcanine.

Usage Tips
=============
Choice Specs Kyurem is relatively straightforward to use, as it should most often attempt to use the move that does the most damage. In certain cases, such as against Sableye, Kyurem should opt to use Ice Beam instead of Draco Meteor to have better odds against specially defensive sets that have Calm Mind. However, in nearly any other situation, Kyurem should try to use the move that does the most damage after accounting for potential resistance berries. repeating yourself here

Set Description
=============
Draco Meteor is Kyurem's strongest STAB move and should be used against Keldeo, offensive Snorlax mention in usage tips that this is unreliable, and Manaphy. Ice Beam is for Landorus-T, both Thundurus forms, and both Tornadus forms, and Choice Scarf or Yache Berry Garchomp this is unnecessary detail for the first paragraph imo. Earth Power is for Bulky Choice Band Arcanine this example is pretty specific as it is, consider removing, non-Air Balloon Heatran, and Choice Specs Raikou. Hidden Power Rock gives Kyurem a better matchup against bulkier Charti Berry Volcarona variants.

EVs
=============
The 248 HP and 108 Defense EVs guarantee that Kyurem survives Outrage from Jolly Choice Scarf or Yache Berry Garchomp sets, while the 48 Special Defense EVs let Kyurem survive Hyper Beam from Choice Scarf Porygon-Z. The 104 Special Attack EVs allow for Kyurem to have a very favorable roll against most Conkeldurr sets, while the remaining 8 Speed EVs allow Kyurem to outspeed specially defensive Choice Band Arcanine speed creep is not allowed in analyses - MAYBE you can get away with suggesting you can move (some of) the special attack investment into speed to defeat bulky arcanine, but even that is pushing it.

perhaps a max/max altspread (and maybe just PZ bulk as well) if they want more SpA / Speed
