Strategy Overview
Beefy attacking stats and a great offensive typing make Kyurem a formidable wallbreaker. Fantastic bulk for an offensive Pokemon also allows it multiple opportunities to come in on passive Pokemon and weaker attacks, making it a big threat to bulky teams. While Kyurem's base 95 Speed is certainly decent, it leaves it outpaced by a number of offensive threats, such as Hydreigon, Cobalion, and Terrakion. Its typing is also a double-edged sword, leaving it vulnerable to Steel-types, most notably Scizor, and weak to Stealth Rock. Furthermore, Kyurem faces stiff competition from Hydreigon, which is generally a better choice as a special Dragon-type wallbreaker due to it requiring less prediction and its superior defensive utility. However, Kyurem has a notable niche over Hydreigon in its Ice typing, which allows it to directly threaten typical checks to Dragon-types, such as Togekiss and Mega Altaria.
