Body Press does three things for Kyurem.
-
3HKOs Blissey, forcing it to burn Soft-Boiled pp and lose the 1v1.
-
One-shots Weavile who often can eat 1-2 hits from Kyurem.
-
2HKOs Balloon Gambit who often uses Kyurem as setup fodder once it finds a safe switch in.

If Volc gets the boot I might test it out. Boots Kyurem has a very flexible 4th slot that can be for anything, but what are your thoughts?
