Kyurem

Boundary Pokémon

DragonIce

Dwelling within it is a power even greater than that of Reshiram or Zekrom, but the extreme cold keeps that power bound.

Strategy Overview

Ice

Kyurem is a bulky stallbreaker that checks passive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Rotom-Wash, and defensive Zapdos thanks to its Dragon typing. Kyurem's high Special Attack, alongside great coverage, allows it to be extremely useful in the Water, Electric, and Flying matchups. However, Pokemon like Volcarona and Scizor can use Kyurem as setup bait to sweep. Unfortunately, Kyurem's Speed leaves it slower than threats such as Cinderace, Galarian Zapdos, and Zeraora.
