Freeze Shock is terrible on a CB Kyurem-B because of it's charge up turn. This leaves Kyurem-B wide open, and gives the opponent a chance to cripple or take out Kyurem-B before it can even attack. Worst of all is that Kyurem-B is locked into the move, making it almost certain that he'll switch out after the move is dealt, giving the opponent a free turn. I would use Earth Power over Blizzard to hit Fire types like Heatran who walls this set, and Dragon Claw over Freeze Shock for a better move to be locked into. Ice Beam can also be replaced over blizzard due to blizzard missing all the time, however again Heatran and most steel types will wall this set completely without it.

Taking advantage of Kyurem-B's bulk on a CB set is more crucial then on mixed or Scarf sets due to it's lack of any speed investment, so the SpA drop isn't that big of a deal. Besides, it's only effecting Earth Power or Ice Beam which will rarely be used in the first place.
