[SET COMMENTS]
Kyurem can easily dismantle various defensive structures found on archetypes ranging from full stall to bulky offense teams by leveraging Pressure and its excellent coverage. Earth Power complements Freeze-Dry well, hitting Steel- and Fire-types super effectively, providing Kyurem with near-perfect coverage, and making it very difficult to switch into. Substitute, when paired with Pressure, allows Kyurem to PP stall its checks, making it very annoying for bulkier teams to deal with. This also provides Kyurem with an immunity to status moves and allows it to get free turns against passive Pokemon such as Alomomola and Ferrothorn. Substitute combined with Roost means Kyurem can beat its checks, such as Ferrothorn and Chansey, by stalling out all of their attacks. Protect can be used in conjunction with Leftovers to stall out offensive threats that Kyurem cannot safely use Roost in front of, such as Mega Lopunny and Tapu Lele, for longer. However, this leaves Kyurem vulnerable to entry hazards and without reliable recovery, which severely lowers its longevity. 56 HP EVs prevent Blissey and Chansey's Seismic Toss from breaking Substitute in one hit, which allows Kyurem to beat them one-on-one.

Kyurem fits on balance and bulky offense teams that appreciate its ability to dismantle opposing walls and balance archetypes while making up for Kyurem's limited defensive utility. Offensive pivots, like Tapu Koko and Urshifu-R, can bait in walls like Ferrothorn, Toxapex, and Ting-Lu for Kyurem to prey on. In return, Kyurem can help break down the aforementioned checks as well as Galarian Slowking and bulky Dragon-types like Raging Bolt and Dragonite for them, which allows them to more easily clean up late-game. Other offensive Pokemon, such as Zamazenta and Great Tusk, also appreciate Kyurem pressuring Gholdengo, Zapdos, and Alomomola. In return, they can threaten bulky Steel-types such as Kingambit, Mega Scizor, and Melmetal. Due to Kyurem's relatively low Speed stat and somewhat middling bulk, it is easily threatened by strong wallbreakers such as Zamazenta and Tapu Lele, so Pokemon that can switch into them like Gholdengo, Toxapex, and Ferrothorn are appreciated. Its poor Ice typing also means that Kyurem is incapable of checking Mega Charizard Y and Superpower Ogerpon-W, so Pokemon that can do so such as Toxapex, Moltres, and Mega Venusaur are appreciated. If running Leftovers and Protect, Kyurem becomes vulnerable to entry hazards, so hazard removal from Zapdos, Great Tusk, and Terapagos is also appreciated. Alomomola also makes a great teammate, as it can safely pivot Kyurem into Ferrothorn and Toxapex and heal it with Wish. Kyurem also struggles with Melmetal and Mega Scizor because they can switch in relatively safely and threaten it with their strong Steel-type STAB moves, so Pokemon that can switch into them such as Alomomola, Moltres, and Zapdos make good teammates.

Kyurem can easily dismantle various defensive structures found in archetypes ranging from full stall to bulky offense teams using which traits?. The combination of Substitute and Pressure means Kyurem can PP stall its checks making it very annoying to deal with. Earth Power compliments Freeze Dry well as they give Kyurem near-perfect freeze dry + ep is good but dont hit everything coverage and makes Kyurem very difficult to switch into what would normally switch in on freeze dry but cant on ep?. Substitute makes Kyurem immune to status moves and allows it to get free turns on passive Pokemon such as Alomomola and Ferrothorn. This combined with Roost and Pressure means Kyurem can beat its checks, such as Gyro Ball or Body Press this is like basically all ferros Ferrothorn and Chansey, by stalling out all of their attacks. Protect can be used in conjunction with Leftovers to stall out offensive threats that Kyurem cannot safely Roost in front of, such as Mega Lopunny and Tapu Lele, for longer. However this leaves Kyurem vulnerable to hazards and without reliable recovery which severely lowers its longevity. 56 HP makes it so Blissey and Chansey's Seismic Toss cannot break Substitute in one hit which allows Kyurem to 1v1 them.

Kyurem fits on balance and bulky offense teams that appreciate its ability to dismantle opposing fats and balances. Offensive pivots, like Tapu Koko and Urshifu-R, can bait in walls like Ferrothorn, Toxapex, and Ting-Lu for Kyurem to prey on. In return, Kyurem can help break down their checks who r they? and make it easier for them to clean up late game. Other offensive Pokemon, such as Zamazenta and Great Tusk, also appreciate Kyurem pressuring Gholdengo, Zapdos, and Alomomola. what do they do in return? break stuff like ferro + av melm Due to Kyurem's relatively low speed stat and somewhat middling bulk it is easily threatened by strong wallbreakers, such as Zamazenta and Tapu Lele, so Pokemon that can switch into them, like Gholdengo, Toxapex, and Ferrothorn are appreciated. If running Leftovers and Protect, Kyurem becomes vulnerable to hazards so hazard removal from Zapdos, Great Tusk, and Tornadus-Therian Terapagos more relevant as removal are also appreciated. Alomomola also makes a great teammate as it can safely pivot Kyurem onto on who? the field and can heal Kyurem with Wish. also mention how it struggles with melm, and osme switchins for that + what kyu does for them

Kyurem can easily dismantle various defensive structures found in on archetypes ranging from full stall to bulky offense teams by abusing Pressure and its excellent coverage. The combination of Substitute and Pressure means Kyurem can PP stall its checks making it very annoying to deal with. Good sentence but reads a little weirdly where it is right now, wrap this mention into the sentence talking about what substitute does. Earth Power compliments Freeze Dry well as they give Kyurem near-perfect coverage and makes Kyurem very difficult to switch into by hitting Steel- and Fire- Types supereffectively. Substitute makes Kyurem immune to status moves and allows it to get free turns on passive Pokemon such as Alomomola and Ferrothorn. This combined with Roost and Pressure means Kyurem can beat its checks, such as Ferrothorn and Chansey, by stalling out all of their attacks. Protect can be used in conjunction with Leftovers to stall out offensive threats that Kyurem cannot safely Roost in front of, such as Mega Lopunny and Tapu Lele, for longer. However this leaves Kyurem vulnerable to hazards and without reliable recovery which severely lowers its longevity. 56 HP makes it so Blissey and Chansey's Seismic Toss cannot break Substitute in one hit which allows Kyurem to 1v1 them.

Kyurem fits on balance and bulky offense teams that appreciate its ability to dismantle opposing fats and balances. Mention that these teams can also shore up Kyurem's limited defensive utility. Offensive pivots, like Tapu Koko and Urshifu-R, can bait in walls like Ferrothorn, Toxapex, and Ting-Lu for Kyurem to prey on. In return, Kyurem can help break down their checks who r they? Make sure you fully implement prior checks and make it easier for them to clean up late game. Other offensive Pokemon, such as Zamazenta and Great Tusk, also appreciate Kyurem pressuring Gholdengo, Zapdos, and Alomomola. In return, they can threaten bulky Steel-types such as Ferrothorn Ik this is from a previous check but you talk a lot about how Kyurem beats Ferro so don't love the fit, lets choose a different example and Melmetal. Due to Kyurem's relatively low speed stat and somewhat middling bulk it is easily threatened by strong wallbreakers, such as Zamazenta and Tapu Lele, so Pokemon that can switch into them, like Gholdengo, Toxapex, and Ferrothorn are appreciated. Emphasize that Kyurem not checking Waterpon at all is a major hinderance for teambuilding and that teams running it need extra insurance vs it. If running Leftovers and Protect, Kyurem becomes vulnerable to hazards so hazard removal from Zapdos, Great Tusk, and Terapagos are also appreciated. Alomomola also makes a great teammate as it can safely pivot Kyurem onto Ferrothorn and Toxapex and can heal Kyurem with Wish. Kyurem also struggles with Melmetal as it can switch in relatively safely and threatren Kyurem with Double Iron Bash so switch ins such as Alomomola, Moltres, and Zapdos make good teammates.

I wouldn't necessarily advocate for stacking dragon-types, there are other ways to check these two, like fat grasses for Ogerpon or things like Moltres or Toxapex for Yard. If running Leftovers and Protect, Kyurem becomes vulnerable to hazards so hazard removal from Zapdos, Great Tusk, and Terapagos are also appreciated. Alomomola also makes a great teammate as it can safely pivot Kyurem onto Ferrothorn and Toxapex and can heal Kyurem with Wish.

[SET]
SubRoost (Kyurem) @ Heavy-Duty Boots / Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 56 HP / 200 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Freeze Dry Freeze-Dry
- Earth Power
- Substitute
- Roost / Protect

[SET COMMENTS]
Kyurem can easily dismantle various defensive structures found on archetypes ranging from full stall to bulky offense teams by leveraging Pressure and its excellent coverage. Earth Power complements Freeze Dry Freeze-Dry well, as it hits hitting Steel- and Fire-types super effectively, providing Kyurem with near-perfect coverage, (AC) and making it very difficult to switch into. Substitute, when paired with Pressure, allows Kyurem to PP stall its checks, making it very annoying for bulkier teams to deal with. It This also provides Kyurem with an immunity to status moves and allows it to get free turns against passive Pokemon such as Alomomola and Ferrothorn. This Substitute making it a bit clearer what's being referred to combined with Roost means Kyurem can beat its checks, such as Ferrothorn and Chansey, by stalling out all of their attacks. Protect can be used in conjunction with Leftovers to stall out offensive threats that Kyurem cannot safely use Roost in front of, such as Mega Lopunny and Tapu Lele, for longer. However, (AC) this leaves Kyurem vulnerable to entry hazards and without reliable recovery, which severely lowers its longevity. 56 HP EVs prevent Blissey and Chansey's Seismic Toss from breaking Substitute in one hit, which allows Kyurem to beat them one-on-one.

Kyurem fits on balance and bulky offense teams (RC) as they that appreciate its ability to dismantle opposing walls and balance archetypes while making up for Kyurem's limited defensive utility. Offensive pivots, like Tapu Koko and Urshifu-R, can bait in walls like Ferrothorn, Toxapex, and Ting-Lu for Kyurem to prey on. In return, Kyurem can help break down the aforementioned checks as well as Galarian Slowking and bulky Dragon-types like Raging Bolt and Dragonite for them, which allows them to more easily clean up late-game. Other offensive Pokemon, such as Zamazenta and Great Tusk, also appreciate Kyurem pressuring Gholdengo, Zapdos, and Alomomola. In return, they can threaten bulky Steel-types such as Kingambit, Mega Scizor, and Melmetal. Due to Kyurem's relatively low Speed stat and somewhat middling bulk, it is easily threatened by strong wallbreakers such as Zamazenta and Tapu Lele, so Pokemon that can switch into them (RC) like Gholdengo, Toxapex, and Ferrothorn (RC) are appreciated. Its poor Ice typing also means that Kyurem is incapable of checking Mega Charizard Y and Ogerpon-W, how does its ice typing make it struggle vs a water / grass type? when its dragon typing makes it resist both stabs so Pokemon that can do so such as Toxapex, Moltres, and Mega Venusaur are appreciated. If running Leftovers and Protect, Kyurem becomes vulnerable to entry hazards, so hazard removal from Zapdos, Great Tusk, and Terapagos is also appreciated. Alomomola also makes a great teammate, as it can safely pivot Kyurem into Ferrothorn and Toxapex and heal it with Wish. Kyurem also struggles with Melmetal and Mega Scizor (RC) as because they can switch in relatively safely and threaten it with their strong Steel-type STAB moves, so Pokemon that can switch into them such as Alomomola, Moltres, and Zapdos make good teammates.
