Kyurem leverages its solid defensive profile, reliable recovery in Roost, Substitute, and Pressure to annoy the metagame's passive walls, including the likes of Ferrothorn, Garganacl, Toxapex, and Chansey. Pressure can drain other threatening low PP attacks such as Gholdengo's Make It Rain and Mega Charizard Y's Fire Blast, especially behind the safety of its Substitute, which also prevents revenge killIing attempts from foes like Mega Lopunny, Zamazenta, and Iron Valiant. Freeze Dry + Earth Power grants Kyurem near-perfect coverage, with the former hitting Landorus-T, Tangrowth, and bulky Water-types like Gastrodon, Rotom-W, and Toxapex, while the latter deals with Ice-resistant Pokemon such as Heatran, Kingambit, Gholdengo, and Skeledirge. Tera Steel flips Kyurem's matchup against Fairy-, Rock-, and Steel-types attacks like Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant's Moonblast, Mega Tyranitar's Stone Edge, and Kingambit's Iron Head, while Tera Fairy does so similarly with Fighting- and Dragon-type moves from Mega Lopunny, Zamazenta, and Dragapult, the latter of which can bypass Kyurem's Subsitute due to Infiltrator. The given HP EVs allow Kyurem to make 101 HP Substitutes, which prevents it from being broken by Chansey's Seismic Toss. Teammates like Toxapex, Clodsire, Kingambit, and Mega Scizor are valuable to switch into revenge killers such as Zamazenta, Iron Valiant, Dragapult, and Tapu Lele, respectively, especially if it's not behind a Substitute. Clodsire also provides Spikes to chip down opposing Mega Scizor and Garganacl, which can stomach Kyurem's attacks easily, while Mega Scizor and Toxapex can absorb Knock Off from Weavile, Tornadus-T, and Kingambit for Kyurem. Revenge killers that reliably deal with offensive teams help complement Kyurem's ability to beat balance teams that they struggle with; these Pokemon include Mega Lopunny and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, the former of which can bring Kyurem in safely on foes like Toxapex and Zapdos via U-turn, while the latter appreciates Kyurem overwhelming their Steel-type checks. Magnezone can trap and significantly damage or outright KO Mega Scizor and Corviknight, with Choice Scarf variants taking care of Swords Dance Kartana as well, which would otherwise threaten Kyurem out.

Kyurem leverages its solid defensive profile, reliable recovery in Roost, Substitute, and Pressure to annoy the metagame's passive walls, including the likes of Ferrothorn, Garganacl, Toxapex, and Chansey. In addition to wasting the former's Gyro Ball, Pressure can also drain other threatening low PP attacks such as Gholdengo's Make It Rain and Mega Charizard Y's Fire Blast, especially behind the safety of its Substitute, which also prevents revenge killIing attempts from foes like Mega Lopunny, Zamazenta, and Iron Valiant. Freeze Dry + Earth Power grants Kyurem near-perfect coverage, with the former hitting Landorus-T, Tangrowth, and bulky Water-types like Gastrodon, Rotom-W, and Toxapex, while the latter deals with Ice-resistant Pokemon such as Heatran, Kingambit, Gholdengo, and Skeledirge. Tera Steel flips Kyurem's matchup against Fairy-, Rock-, and Steel-types attacks like Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant's Moonblast, Mega Tyranitar's Stone Edge, and Kingambit's Iron Head, while Tera Fairy does so similarly with Fighting- and Dragon-type moves from Mega Lopunny, Zamazenta, and Dragapult, the latter of which can bypass Kyurem's Subsitute due to Infiltrator.

Teammates like Toxapex, Clodsire, Kingambit, and Mega Scizor are valuable to switch into revenge killers such as Zamazenta, Iron Valiant, Dragapult, and Tapu Lele, respectively, especially if it's not behind a Substitute; Clodsire also provide Spikes to chip down opposing Mega Scizor and Garganacl, which can stomach Kyurem's attacks easily, while Mega Scizor and Toxapex can absorb Knock Off from Weavile, Tornadus-T, and Kingambit for Kyurem. mention speed control options like mlop & scarf lele being good v offense while kyurem is good into balance - u can add a bit at the end abt lele liking kyu weakening steels if u want Magnezone can reliably force huge damage or straight up remove Steel-types roadblock like Mega Scizor and Corviknight, with Choice Scarf variants taking care of Swords Dance Kartana as well, which would otherwise threaten Kyurem out.

In addition to wasting the former's Gyro Ball, Gyro Ball isnt r used rn on most ferro, usually its either non steel stab or iron head Pressure can also drain other threatening low PP attacks such as Gholdengo's Make It Rain and Mega Charizard Y's Fire Blast, especially behind the safety of its Substitute, which also prevents revenge killIing attempts from foes like Mega Lopunny, Zamazenta, and Iron Valiant.
