[SET COMMENTS]

Kyurem-B is a solid god on offensive teams thanks to it donating all-around solid stats, notably an amazing base 170 Attack stat. Dragon Dance makes Kyurem-B a terrifying sweeper, outpacing most of the metagame at +1 Speed and raising its Attack even higher. Thanks to Teravolt, it can even break past Unaware Quagsire and Clefable. Icicle Spear is its best STAB move, doing super effective damage to common defensive Pokemon like Landorus-T, Tangrowth, and Giratina. Fusion Bolt has fantastic synergy with Icicle Spear, notably hitting Water-types like Slowking and Tapu Fini that would otherwise wall Kyurem-B. Roost lets it stay healthy throughout longer games and use its impressive bulk to set up multiple times. Heavy-Duty Boots is the preferred item to avoid Stealth Rock chipping Kyurem-B down upon entering the field; however, other items like Life Orb and Lum Berry can also be used, the latter to set up on status-inducing foes. Jolly is the preferred nature to outspeed Pheromosa at +1. Adamant allows Kyurem-B to get more KOs, such as the OHKO against Landorus-T and 2HKO against Slowbro. These KO's can also be achieved by running a Jolly nature with Life Orb.

Kyurem-B shines on offensive teams thanks to its good offensive donations. Mimikyu, Rillaboom, Victini, and Zygarde-10% become amazing wallbreakers with Kyurem-B's Attack donation, punching holes in opposing physical walls for Kyurem-B to sweep. Moderately strong special attackers like Tapu Fini, Tapu Koko, and Galarian Moltres make good use of its solid Special Attack; the former weakens Dragon-type moves and blocks status for Kyurem-B with Misty Terrain, while the latter two pressure Buzzwole and Necrozma-DM. It can also pass a decent HP stat onto bulky pivots like Rotom-W and Landorus-T, which fit onto the more offensive teams of Kyurem-B while dealing with its answers such as Necrozma-DM and Sand Rush Excadrill. Many teammates can take advantage of Kyurem-B's less-used stats to fill utility roles. For example, Heatran, Excadrill, and Clefable provide crucial Stealth Rock support. Before setup, Kyurem-B is vulnerable to faster Pokemon such as Zeraora and Zygarde-10%, which Tangrowth and Buzzwole can deal with. Faster Choice Scarf users like Tapu Lele, Kartana, and Yveltal can force out Kyurem-B even at +1, so teammates that can switch into their attacks like Kartana, Tornadus-T, and Tapu Koko also make for good teammates. Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, Kartana, and the aforementioned Tapu Fini provide a crucial answer to fast Pokemon like Zamazenta, Pheromosa, and their Speed receivers, preventing them from outrunning common Kyurem-B team structures. Should Kyurem-B opt for another item, a Defogger like Tornadus-T or Volcanion is also appreciated. Dual screens support from Tapu Koko and Grimmsnarl will also help it set up, but this really only fits on hyper offense teams.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Substitute can be used over Roost to set up against foes that can't really damage Kyurem-B like Slowbro and Rotom-W, but this will significantly impact its longevity. Choice Band can be used for more immediate damage. However, the inability to swap moves and lack of a way to boost Speed beyond Scale Shot make it suboptimal. Finally, a mixed set with options like Earth Power and Freeze-Dry can surprise Kyurem-B's normal answers like Magnezone and Gastrodon.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Bulky Steel-types**: Zamazenta-C and Necrozma-DM both comfortably wall Kyurem-B and can reliably KO it. Magnezone and Cobalion can also threaten it, although they fear Earth Power.

**Physical Walls**: Kyurem-B struggles to break through walls it can't hit super effectively like Rotom-W, Gastrodon, and Buzzwole, and in return these Pokemon can pressure it with status or super effective moves. The former two need to watch out for the rare Substitute and Freeze-Dry, though.

**Revenge Killers**: Faster Choice Scarf users like Kartana, Yveltal, and Victini can force out Kyurem-B even at +1, and priority move users like Zygarde-10% and Scizor can pick off Kyurem-B if it's weakened enough.

fake QC check, implement as you wish
  • i feel like adamant is at least worth slashing as an option. jolly doesn't net you too many important milestones (the only real one being phero and its recipients) at +1 and the damage makes a fair bit of difference.
  • i feel like attack slots like victini and persian-a are worth mentioning along with the pre-existing zyg-10 and rilla. mimikyu is down to you.
  • the bit about tapu fini and getting forced out by scarfers can be heavily compressed imo. something along the lines of "Kyurem-B struggles to safely set up against many common threats without being fearful of Dragon-type attacks or status, thus Tapu Fini makes a good teammate as its Misty Surge helps limit both of these." and "Kyurem-B is commonly forced out by Choice Scarf users, such as Kartana and Tapu Lele, so it appreciates teammates like Tangrowth and Tornadus-T, as these can safely switch in and withstand the attacks." can work.
  • various GP stuff that'll probably get picked up on like Kyurems (needs '), last sentence in other options, etc.
  • steel-type gods are worth a mention in checks & counters. ndm infinitely walls, zamac needs to be at like 30 to lose. some other bulky neutrals that scare it out like lunala and caly-ice (wisp and glacial lance respectively) might also be relevant.

Thanks to its ability Teravolt, it can even break past Unaware Pokemon like Quagsire and Clefable. Icicle Spear is generally just a good its best STAB move, doing neutral or super effective damage against common Pokemon like Landorus-T, Tapu Koko, and Rayquaza.

Kyurem-B shines on offensive teams thanks to its good offensive stats that it can donate donations.

It can also pass a decent HP stat onto bulky pivots like Rotom-W and Landorus-T that fit onto the more offensive teams that Kyurem-B fits on. While it usually wants to be in the Defense or Special Defense slot, it can also donate these stats to teammates with lower defenses, like Clefable, Kartana, or and Tornadus-T. Teammates that want a higher Special Attack stat like Tapu Koko and Galarian Moltres make good use of its solid Special Attack. Lastly, its decent Speed tier can be donated to Pokemon that need extra speed like Heatran and Tyranitar. Kyurem-B struggles to safely set up, however, it can set up on passive foes like Slowbro or and Tangrowth, at the risk of getting Knocked Off or statused eating Knock Off or a status move; , making Tapu Fini a great teammate for switching into Knock Off and allowing it to safely set up against foes that could status it, and also take less damage from Dragon Types like Dracozolt or and Dialga.

This paragraph gets really repetitive and has many rooms for improvement. Here's how you mix the stat slot/role in the paragraph: Physical wallbreakers (Victini, Alolan Persian) benefit from Atk and deal damage. HP can be for Rotom-W/Lando-T that pivots Kyurem-B in while checking its answers. SpA for Koko, Fini, Moltres-G, they act as Speed control or break things that Kyurem-B can't. Then move to filler slots. Mentioning the stat they receive is optional and you focus on their role (example: Volcanion as Defogger in Spe, Tangrowth as wall in SpD, Torn-T as offensive pivot without mentioning slots)

Lum Berry can be used to allow Kyurem-B to safely set up on walls like Tangrowth, Slowbro, and Rotom-W that can't add apostrophe really harm it outside of inflicting status. Finally, a mixed set with options like Earth Power and Freeze Dry can surprise Kyurem-B's answers like Magnezone and Gastrodon.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Revenge Killers**: Faster Scarfers like Kartana, Yveltal, and Victini can force out Kyurem even at +1, and priority users like Zygarde-10% and Scizor can pick off Kyurem if it's weakened enough. Move this to third

**Physical Walls**: Kyurem struggles to break through walls it cant hit super effectively like Rotom-W, Ferrothorn can be sketchy if it lacks Body Press or Gyro Ball, and Buzzwole, and in return these Pokemon can pressure it with status or super effective moves. Say Rotom-W has to watch out for mixed set.

**Bulky Steel-types**: Zamazenta-C and Necrozma-DM both comfortably wall Kyurem-B and can reliably KO it. I'd give a shout out to Magnezone and Cobalion as well. Do say they have to watch out for the rare Earth Power. Move this to first as well
