Kyurem-B's exceptional bulk and Chople Berry allow it to survive Fighting-type attacks from Life Orb Galarian Zapdos and Pheromosa to OHKO back. Freeze-Dry removes metagame staples such as Rillaboom, Dracovish, Tapu Fini, and Galarian Zapdos. Earth Power provides great coverage with Freeze-Dry, nailing Ice-resistant foes such as Heatran, Volcanion, and Metagross. Draco Meteor pressures Pokemon that shrug off its other moves such as Volcarona and opposing Kyurem-B, and it more reliably OHKOes Pheromosa. Protect ensures Kyurem-B's safety against Fake Out pressure while punishing foes that concentrate on KOing it.

For partners, Togekiss provides Follow Me and Tailwind support and can stave off Fairy-types, such as Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele. In return, Kyurem-B checks Regieleki and staves off Volcanion. Regieleki blasts through bulky Water-types that Kyurem-B cannot KO, such as Blastoise, while slowing down Pheromosa and Naganadel with Electroweb. Kyurem-B breaks through Ground- and Grass-types like Zygarde and Rillaboom that can take Regieleki's STAB Electric-type attacks. Cinderace and Pheromosa both break through Steel-types that Kyurem-B hates, such as Metagross and Heatran. Cinderace also pressures Togekiss, which Kyurem-B greatly appreciates, and Kyurem-B's Freeze-Dry ameliorates Cinderace's weakness to Ground-types.

Assault Vest Kyurem-B can easily take on threats such as Victini, Regieleki, and Galarian Moltres. It is seen on faster-paced teams to break through offensive teams by surviving long enough to OHKO their threats. Freeze-Dry 2HKOes physically defensive Tapu Fini and OHKOes Dracovish. Earth Power can OHKO offensive Heatran and 2HKOes Volcanion and non-Assault Vest Metagross. Icy Wind combined with 32 Speed EVs allows Kyurem-B to outrun Kartana and Latios. Draco Meteor provides great, strong coverage against Pokemon such as Volcarona and opposing Kyurem-B. 88 Special Defense EVs with the Assault Vest allow Kyurem-B to survive two full-health Eruptions from Charcoal Heatran, as well as comfortably surviving Life Orb Draco Meteor from Naganadel. 52 Defense EVs prevent OHKOs from Smart Strike from Kartana, Rock Slide from Tyranitar, and three hit Dragon Dance-boosted Scale Shot from Zygarde.

Kyurem-B's greatest weakness is Fairy-type threats, such as Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele, which Regieleki or Metagross can offensively check. Rillaboom removes Psychic Terrain from Tapu Lele and provides Fake Out support for Kyurem-B. Kyurem-B is OHKOed by Galarian Zapdos, Pheromosa, and Cinderace, so Choice Scarf Tapu Lele is a great partner to outspeed and OHKO them. Also, Tapu Lele's Psychic Surge prevents Fake Out from Incineroar. Regieleki is a great option to outspeed common threats, as Kyurem-B can OHKO Ground- and Grass-types like Rillaboom, Zygarde, and Landorus-T that resist Electric, while Regieleki removes faster threats that pressure Kyurem-B such as Pheromosa and Galarian Zapdos.


[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Kyurem-B can use a plethora of physical sets. Dragon Dance with Life Orb maximizes its offensive output and pairs well with redirection from Togekiss, Blastoise, or Indeedee-F. Instead of Life Orb, Babiri Berry and Haban Berry can be used to beat Dragon- and Steel-type threats such as Metagross and Naganadel. Power Herb is an option for a one turn Freeze Shock. On the offensive set, Haban Berry can be used to stave off Naganadel and Latios, and Life Orb is also an option. A Choice Scarf variant of Kyurem-B can lure in and surprise Naganadel, Pheromosa, and Zygarde; however, this set is fairly inconsistent, as it relies heavily on teammates removing Steel- and Water-types.

Checks and Counters
===================
**Faster Threats and Fake Out**: Fake Out from Pokemon such as Mew, Incineroar, and Rillaboom hinders Kyurem-B's chance of survival, especially Assault Vest Kyurem-B, which lacks Protect. Faster threats like Zeraora, Pheromosa, and Galarian Zapdos can each threaten Kyurem-B, while Zeraora can also use Fake Out.

**Specially Defensive Threats**: Specially bulky Pokemon such as Diancie, Cresselia, Tyranitar, and Porygon2 pose a large threat to Kyurem-B. Diancie and Tyranitar check it both defensively and offensively. Porygon2 and Diancie can set up Trick Room without taking much damage, leaving Kyurem-B vulnerable. Assault Vest Zeraora takes all of Kyurem-B's attacks and pressures it with Close Combat, Play Rough, or Fake Out. Choice Scarf Genesect 2HKOes Kyurem-B with Iron Head and takes very little from it.

Kyurem-B's exceptional bulk combined with the use of Chople Berry allows it to take Fighting-type attacks from Life Orb Urshifu-R or Pheromosa and OHKO each back in return. Freeze Dry neutralises metagame staples such as the aforementioned whilst pressuring Rillaboom, Dracovish, Tapu Fini, and Zapdos Galar for super effective damage. Earth Power is great coverage inconjunction with Freeze Dry as it hits foes that thwart Kyurem-B's Ice-type attacks such as Heatran, Volcanion, and Metagross. Draco Meteor is Kyurem-B's best special STAB attack that allows it to pressure Pokemon that resist its coverage such as Volcarona and Weavile. Protect ensures Kyurem-B's safety against Fake Out pressure whilst maintaining its longevity by it usually being a targeted threat.

Togekiss protects Kyurem-B from taking Close Combat hits when necessary through Follow Me redirection, provides Tailwind support and can stave off Fairy-types Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele. What does KyuB do for Togekiss then? Additionally, Regieleki blasts through bulky Water-types that Kyurem-B cannot touch without boosts such as Blastoise, whilst it provides key speed control over Pheromosa and Naganadel. In return, Kyurem-B can break through Ground- and Grass-types that weaken Regieleki's STAB attack Ground and Grass types like?. Cinderace and Pheromosa can both break through Steel-types that Kyurem-B hates such as Metagross and Heatran whilst Kyurem's Ice-type complements their Ground- and Flying-type weakness respectively how so.

Kyurem-B can be an offensive Pokemon that can easily take on threats such as Victini eh, up to you , Regieleki, and Nihilego no and KO them through its raw power combined with its great bulk. Kyurem-B is mostly seen on faster paced teams as a reliance to break other foes that potentially other teammates cannot due to their sub par bulk. Freeze Dry is important so that Kyurem-B can 2HKO Physically Defensive Tapu-Fini and OHKO Dracovish. Earth Power can OHKO offensive Heatran whilst Volcanion and non-Assault Vest Metagross are 2HKOed. Icy Wind combined with 32 Speed EVs allows Kyurem-B to outrun base 110 Speed Pokemon at -1 Speed, gaining an advantage over threats such as Kartana. Draco Meteor is Kyurem-B's greatest STAB move that provides great neutral coverage against Pokemon such as Volcarona, but is less useful outside of that. 88 Special Defense EVs along side a 1.5x boost from Assault Vest allows Kyurem-B to survive two full health Eruptions from Charcoal Timid Heatran, whilst comfortably living Life Orb Draco Meteor from Naganadel. 52 Defence EVs allows Kyurem-B to live Smart Strike from Kartana, Rock Slide from Tyranitar, and Dragon Dance boosted Scale Shot from Zygarde.

Kyurem-B's greatest weakness are Fairy-type threats such as Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele so Kyurem-B can be paired with Regieleki or Metagross to offensively check these threats whilst Rillaboom can be used in order to remove Psychic Terrain and provide Fake Out support for Kyurem-B. It is also thwarted by Urshifu-R's and Pheromosa's Close Combat as well as Low Kick Libero Cinderace. Due to this, Tapu Lele is a great partner to Kyurem-B as with a Choice Scarf it can outrun and OHKO these threats, moreover giving Psychic Terrain support preventing Fake Out from Incinaroar. Regieleki is also a great option for Speed Control as Kyurem-B can OHKO Ground- and Grass-types again examples needed that thwart Regieleki's STAB whilst it removes faster threats that pressure Kyurem-B such as Pheromosa and Urshifu-R.

A Choice Scarf variant of Kyurem-B can be used to lure and surprise Naganadel, Pheromosa, and Choice Scarf Zygarde however this is fairly inconsistent as it relies on heavy support on Steel- and Water-type removal. Add the sets I told you to

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

** Faster Threats and Priority Fake Out **: Fake Out from Pokemon such as Incinaroar and Rillaboom heavily hinder Kyurem's chance of survival when wearing an Assault Vest as it renders it useless for a turn. Assault Vest Zeraora can take all of Kyurem's attacks and heavily pressure it with Close Combat or Play Rough, whilst even supplying Fake Out support. Choice Scarf Genesect can capitalise on Kyurem's lack of coverage to hit it effectively and 2HKO with Iron Head. This however can be foiled by Weakness Policy activation.

**Specially Defensive Threats **: Pokemon that have naturally high special Defence such as Diancie and Porgon2 pose a large threat to Kyurem-B as Diamond Storm Diancie poses a large threat as Kyurem-B whilst Porygon2 can set up Trick Room without fearing any severe damage. Mention how Physical KyuB variants don't struggle with Specially Defensive Pokemon

Freeze Dry neutralises metagame staples such as the aforementioned "the afformentioned" sounds a bit clunky but I'm not sure what to replace it with whilst pressuring Rillaboom, Dracovish, Tapu Fini, and Zapdos Galar some of these are outright OHKOed, make that distinction please for super effective damage. Earth Power is great coverage, AC in conjunction with Freeze Dry as it hits foes that thwart are not KOed by Kyurem-B's Ice-type attacks such as Heatran, Volcanion, and Metagross. Draco Meteor is Kyurem-B's best special STAB attack that allows it to pressure Pokemon that resist its coverage such as Volcarona and Weavile mention the mirror, Weavile is not relevant enough for a mention here, also mention the SpA drop. Protect ensures Kyurem-B's safety against Fake Out pressure whilst maintaining its longevity by it usually being a targeted threat punishing opponents aiming to KO Kyurem-B by leaving them open to attacks from its partner.

Togekiss and Zapdos (both formes) beat Phero anyway, and Celesteela beats KyuB, maybe separate Phero and Cinderace respectively by threatening Togekiss and Zygarde.

Icy Wind combined with 32 Speed EVs allows Kyurem-B to outrun base 110 Speed Pokemon at -1 Speed, gaining an advantage over threats such as Kartana and Latios. Draco Meteor is Kyurem-B's strongest STAB move, providing great neutral provides great, strong coverage against Pokemon such as Volcarona and opposing Kyurem-B. 88 Special Defense EVs with the Assault Vest allows Kyurem-B to survive two full-health (added hyphen) Eruptions from Charcoal Heatran, whilst as well as comfortably living surviving Life Orb Draco Meteor from Naganadel as well. 52 Defense EVs allows Kyurem-B to live prevent OHKOs from Smart Strike from Kartana, Rock Slide from Tyranitar, and Dragon Dance-boosted (added hyphen) Scale Shot with (fill in the blank. if it's "all of them", you can alternatively say like "with maximum power") hits from Zygarde.

Kyurem-B's greatest weakness are is Fairy-type threats, such as Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele, so Kyurem-B is often paired with Regieleki or Metagross to offensively check these threats. Rillaboom is used with Kyurem-B to remove which Regieleki or Metagross can offensively check. Rillaboom removes Psychic Terrain from Tapu Lele and provides Fake Out support for Kyurem-B. It is also KOed by Zapdos Galar's, Pheromosa's, as well as Cinderace. Due to this, Choice Scarf Tapu Lele is a great partner to Kyurem-B it can outrun and OHKO these threats. Kyurem-B is OHKOed by Galarian Zapdos, Pheromosa, and Cinderace, so Choice Scarf Tapu Lele is a great partner to outrun and OHKO them. Also, Tapu Lele's Psychic Surge prevents Fake Out from Incineroar. Regieleki is also a great option for speed control, (AC) as Kyurem-B can OHKO Ground- and Grass-types like Rillaboom, Zygarde, and Landorus-T that resist Regieleki's STAB whilst it Electric, while Regieleki removes faster threats that pressure Kyurem-B such as Pheromosa and Zapdos Galar. Galarian Zapdos.

Other Options
=============
Kyurem-B can use a plethora of physically oriented sets. Dragon Dance combined with a Life Orb can maximise its offensive output once when paired with Life Orb can maximize its offensive output with redirection from Togekiss, Blastoise, and or Indeedee-F. Instead of Life Orb, Babiri Berry and Haban Berry can be used to beat Dragon- and Steel-type threats such as Metagross and Naganadel, respectively. Power Herb is occasionally used for a one turn Freeze Shock. Be careful thought, it can only be used once! On specially offensive Kyurem-B, On the offensive set, (I assume?) Haban Berry can instead be employed to stave off Naganadel and Latios easier. Kyurem-B can hold a Life Orb to maximise its offensive pressure. Latios, and Life Orb is also an option. (I assume this sentence still makes sense?) A Choice Scarf variant of Kyurem-B can be used to lure in and surprise Naganadel, Pheromosa, and Zygarde, however this Zygarde; however, this set is fairly inconsistent, (AC) as it relies on heavy support on Steel- and Water-type removal. heavily on teammates removing Steel- and Water-types.

Checks and Counters
===================
**Faster Threats and Fake Out**: (removed space after Out) Fake Out from Pokemon such as Mew, Incineroar, (AC) and Rillaboom hinders Kyurem-B's chance of survival, especially when wearing the Assault Vest, as Fake Out renders it useless for a turn. Assault Vest Kyurem, which lacks Protect. (add a sentence about faster threats)

**Specially Defensive Threats**: (removed space after Threats) Pokemon that have naturally high special Defencse Specially bulky Pokemon such as Diancie, Cresselia, Tyranitar, and Porygon2 pose a large threat to Kyurem-B. Diancie and Tyranitar pose an offensive threat to Kyurem-B, and defensively check Kyurem-B.Porygon2 check it both defensively and offensively. Porygon2 and Diancie can set up Trick Room without taking much damage, leaving Kyurem-B vulnerable. Assault Vest Zeraora takes all of Kyurem's attacks and pressures it with Close Combat, (AC) or Play Rough, or Fake Out support. Choice Scarf Genesect 2HKOes Kyurem-B with Iron Head and takes very little from Kyurem-B. it.

1/2. this should receive two checks. however, please be mindful of wordiness, basic information (like "fake out means you can't move for a turn") readers should already know, and sloppy mistakes, as this was borderline unready to check

Kyurem-B's exceptional bulk and Chople Berry allow it to take survive Fighting-type attacks from Life Orb Galarian Zapdos and Pheromosa to OHKO each back in return OHKO back. Freeze-Dry removes metagame staples such as Rillaboom, Dracovish, Tapu Fini, and Galarian Zapdos. Earth Power is great coverage provides great coverage with Freeze-Dry, nailing Ice-resistant foes such as Heatran, Volcanion, and Metagross. Draco Meteor pressures Pokemon that shrug off its other moves such as Volcarona and opposing Kyurem-B, and it more reliably OHKOes Pheromosa. Protect ensures Kyurem-B's safety against Fake Out pressure whilst while punishing foes that concentrate on KOing it.

As a partner For partners, Togekiss provides Follow Me and Tailwind support and can stave off Fairy-types, such as Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele. In return, Kyurem-B checks Regieleki and staves off Volcanion. Regieleki blasts through bulky Water-types that Kyurem-B cannot KO, such as Blastoise, whilst while slowing down Pheromosa and Naganadel with Electroweb. Kyurem-B breaks through Ground- and Grass-types like Zygarde and Rillaboom can you give a ground example? these are both grass that can take Regieleki's STAB Electric-type attacks. Cinderace and Pheromosa both break through Steel-types that Kyurem-B hates, such as Metagross and Heatran. Cinderace also pressures Togekiss, which Kyurem-B greatly appreciates, and Kyurem-B's Freeze-Dry ameliorates Cinderace's weakness to Ground-types.
