========

* Thanks to Teravolt, Kyurem-B can ignore the Abilities of Pokemon like Mega Venusaur and Rotom-W, making them easier to KO with its attacks
* Furthermore, Kyurem-B has decent speed, allowing it to outpace Pokemon like Mega Gyarados and Nidoking, as well be a decent Choice Scarf user to revenge kill major threats to Ice teams like Mega Lopunny and Mega Charizard Y.
* However, it struggles with walls like Chansey and Porygon2 because of their bulk, recovery and status Kyurem-B with Toxic or Thunder Wave.
* Stealth rock, a major problem for Ice-types in general, causing it to have trouble in major matchups like Water and Steel. It is also prone to getting OHKOed by Latios and Sand Rush Excadrill's STAB attacks due to these being faster than it.
* Kyurem-B may have decent Speed but has trouble with major threats to Ice when not running Choice Scarf like Mega Lopunny. When running Choice Scarf, Kyurem-B is outpaced by the likes of Choice Scarf Latios and Choice Scarf Terrakion.

[SET COMMENTS]

* Ice Beam is Kyurem-B's primary STAB that hits plenty Pokemon like Dragonite, Mega Venusaur, and Landorus-T.
* Fusion Bolt is great to take care of Water- and Flying-types like Mega Gyarados, Tentacruel, and Mega Charizard Y.
* Thanks to its BoltBeam coverage, it can greatly threaten Flying-type matchup and break through the defensive core of Landorus-T and Zapdos.
* Earth Power allows Kyurem-B to hit Fire- and Steel-types such as Torkoal, Heatran, and Magnezone.
* Roost is used to keep Kyurem-B healthy from Life Orb.
* Substitute should only be used with Expert Belt, but it enables Kyurem-B to use it on Pokemon it can threaten out like Politoad and Hippowdon.
* Hidden Power Fire is another option over Roost to make Kyurem-B take care of Mega Scizor and Forretress, but it is not worthwhile due to how worn down it can get from Life Orb and entry hazards.
* Life Orb is its item of choice, as it allows Kyurem-B to do major damage thanks to its great Attack and Special Attack stat.
* Expert Belt is another option, as this allows Kyurem-B to stay healthy while still dishing out damage and able to use Substitute.
* 252 Speed EVs with a Naive nature make Kyurem-B outpace Pokemon such as Suicune and Heatran.

* Kyurem-B's teammates love Kyurem for helping greatly in the Water- and Flying-type matchup.
* Avalugg is the only good hazard removal that Ice has, and is a must-have to have on every Ice team because of Ice's major entry hazard weakness. It can also punish physical attackers with its Rocky Helmet like Mega Lopunny and Excadrill.
* Mamoswine can aid Kyurem-B with gaining KOs by using Stealth Rock and help with walls like Chansey because of its Endeavor + Focus Sash set. It can also do damage with Ice Shard to get some chip off, or KO a Pokemon after it Endeavor. It can also utilize Choice Scarf to take on Pokemon like Mega Lopunny and outpace most Dragon-types par Latios.
* Weavile is an excellent wallbreaker with either Life Orb or Choice Band to pursuit trap Psychic-types like Victini and Jirachi.
* Cloyster can be used alongside Kyurem-B as it can get rid of threats like Mega Venusaur so Cloyster can set up with Shell Smash and sweep in Flying-, Dragon-, and Fire-type matchup.
* Piloswine can be used for Stealth Rock and a Volcarona counter if Mamoswine is running a Choice Scarf or Choice Band set. Stealth Rock helps Kyurem-B break Fire-types like Torkoal and Steel-types like Skarmory.
* Lapras can use Freeze Dry to greatly help in the Water-type matchup along with its ability Water Absorb to take on most Water-types like Mega Swampert and Politoed. It can also help with troubling Steel-types like Mega Scizor and Excadrill with Hidden Power Fire and Surf.
* Walrein can be used for its Thick Fat ability to help ease up the Fire-type matchup against Pokemon that Kyurem-B struggle with like Victini and Heatran. Walrein can also help with Steel-types that Kyurem-B has trouble beating like Mega Scizor, Excadrill and Heatran with Hidden Power Fire and Surf.
* Froslass can use Spikes to form a hazard stacking core with Mamoswine or Piloswine that helps Kyurem-B wallbreak Pokemon and wear down threats to it like Keldeo and Victini. It can also be used to spin block in matchups like Bug and Fire to ensure that the hazards will not be on the opponent's side of the field. Thanks to Ghost-typing it can also cause the opponent some guessing games to use Fighting-type attacks like Scared Sword and Close Combat from Keldeo and Terrakion.

[SET COMMENTS]

* Kyurem-B is an excellent revenge killer due to its great Attack and Speed, making it able to take care of Mega Latias, Landorus, and Excadrill.
* Outrage is Kyurem-B's most powerful STAB that allows it to OHKO Mega Lopunny after some chip. It is also very useful against slower, opposing Dragon-types like Mega Latias and Hydreigon.
* Fusion Bolt is great to take down threatening Flying-types like Mega Charizard Y and Water-types like Choice Specs Keldeo.
* Iron Head is good to take care of major threats like Clefable and Mega Diancie.
* Earth Power allows Kyurem-B to take care of common Choice Scarf users on steel like Magnezone and Excadrill.
* Ice Beam is useful for OHKOing Choice Scarf Landorus-T as well as take care of Mega Venusaur thanks to Teravolt.
* Having 252 EVs in Speed, a Naive Nature, and a Choice Scarf allows it to outpace Choice Scarf Landorus-T and fast Pokemon like Mega Lopunny, Mega Charizard Y, and Mega Diancie.

* Kyurem-B is an excellent revenge killer for Ice, which its teammates love it for taking care of Mega Charizard Y, Mega Diancie, and Landorus.
* Avalugg is the best Rapid Spin user on Ice and is one of the most important Pokemon to have on Ice. This is because of Ice being hazard weak, especially to Stealth Rock. Thanks to its Physical bulk and using Rocky Helmet, it can take on physical attacks from the likes of Choice Scarf Kyurem-B, Excadrill, and Jirachi. It can also phase out threats like Volcorona and Mega Scizor which Kyurem-B appreciates since it cannot do anything to these after they set up once.
* Mamoswine can use a Focus Sash set to get up Stealth Rock to help with troubling Pokemon like Volcorona and Mega Charizard Y. With this set, it can also use Endeavor and Ice Shard to take walls like Chansey and Porygon2 out of the game. If Piloswine is running Stealth Rock, Mamoswine can use Choice Band to become a fearsome wallbreaker to help with walls that Kyurem-B struggles with like Chansey and Gastrodon.
* Weavile can use Life Orb or Choice Band to become a Pursuit trapper to help in the Psychic-type matchup. This is also good to Pursuit trap Pokemon like Victini and Jirachi that can give Kyurem-B trouble.
* Cloyster is great to pair with Kyurem-B as it can weaken its threats so it can Shell Smash and sweep in the Bug-, Fire-, and Flying-type matchup.
* Piloswine can be used as a Volcarona counter as well as setting Stealth Rock if Mamoswine is running a more offensive set. This helps with wearing down Fire-types like Victini and Mega Charizard Y.
* Lapras can help greatly in the Water- and Steel-type matchup as Freeze Dry allows it to OHKO Mega Swampert and Gastrodon while Surf and Hidden Power Fire help with Heatran and Mega Scizor.
* Walrein can be used as a special wallbreaker as thanks to its Thick Fat, as it can tank many Fire-type attacks from Torkoal and Heatran. It can also threaten Steel-types like Mega Siczor and Excadrill with using Hidden Power Fire and Surf.
* Froslass can be used for spin blocking against key matchups like Fire and Bug as well as be a Fighting immunity. It can also set down Spikes to wear down walls that Kyurem-B cannot break like Porygon2, Chansey, and Ferrothorn.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Ice
--------
* Kyurem-B can use Babiri Berry with Hidden Power Fire to take Mega Scizor's Bullet Punch after it uses Sword Dance once; however, it will be lacking in power, failing to KO Pokemon due to lack of Life Orb or lacking speed from not having Choice Scarf to outpace Mega Charizard Y and Choice Specs Keldeo.

Checks and Counters
===================

Ice
--------
**Fighting-types**: Troubling Fighting-types like Mega Gallade and Keldeo threaten Life Orb Kyurem-B as it is unable to outspeed these Pokemon and gets OHKOed with their Fighting STAB. While Choice Scarf Kyurem-B can outpace both of these, it has trouble with faster Choice Scarf users like Infernape and Terrakion as these can OHKO Kyurem-B.

**Fairy-types**: Fairy-types gives Life Orb Kyurem-B as Mega Diancie and Choice Scarf Gardevoir can outpace and OHKO Kyurem-B with Moonblast.

**Steel-types**: Steel-types like Choice Scarf Excadrill and Specially Defensive Jirachi give Kyurem-B trouble as it is unable to either OHKO or outpace and gets OHKOed from these if Stealth Rock is down.

**Faster Pokemon**: Faster Choice Scarf users like Latios, Gengar, and Terrakion can take care of Kyurem-B as all of these outpace the Choice Scarf set.

**Chansey**: Kyurem-B is unable to break Chansey due to its massive special defensive bulk, and can slowly wear it down with Toxic.

**Status**: Kyurem-B hates any type of status as Thunder Wave causes it to take a hit before attacking, Toxic hinders it from being healthy, and burn causes the Choice Scarf set to miss the OHKO on Mega Lopunny when Stealth Rock is down.

Ice
========

* Kyurem-B is one of the greatest mixed wallbreakers that Ice has thanks to its great stats, vast movepool that allows it to threaten Steel-types like Heatran with Earth Power uses Fusion bolt to take care of Water-types like Slowbro and Empoleon.
* Thanks to Kyurem-B's ability Teravolt, Kyurem-B it can ignore the Abilities of Pokemon like Mega Venusaur and Rotom-W, making them easier to KO with its attacks. take on Forretress if running Hidden Power Fire and OHKO it as well as take on Levitate Pokemon like Rotom-W. Kyurem-B also can take on Mega Venusaur thanks to Treavolt ignoring its Thick Fat ability. Hidden Power Fire is the third slash and I rather just use Mega Venusaur and Rotom-W as examples here. I cleaned this up so it makes more sense, I am not GP or anything.
* Furthermore, Kyurem-B has decent speed, allowing it to outpace Pokemon like Gilscor and Diggersby Mega Gyarados and Nidoking, as well be a decent Choice Scarf user to take on revenge kill major threats to Ice teams like Mega Lopunny and Mega Charizard Y.
* Kyurem-B may have decent Speed but has trouble with major threats to Ice when not running Choice Scarf like Mega Lopunny. [I don't feel like you need this point after stating that it needs Choice Scarf to outspeed it. I think its clear to the reader that without a scarf, its threatened a lot by it since its slower. you can try grouping it with the threats part at the end of the paragraph perhaps] When running Choice Scarf, Kyurem-B is outpaced by the likes of Choice Scarf Latios and Terrakion. [move this down to the very end of the paragraph. Did you mean scarf terrak also? The way I read this is scarf lati/terrak outspeeds its scarf set but not base when you put "when you running cf" prob something like despite using x faster threats like y still outspeeds it.]
* Furthermore, it struggles with walls like Chansey and Porygon2 because of their bulk, recovery and status Kyurem-B with Toxic or Thunder Wave. It also hates being paralyzed from Thunder Wave from Jirachi as this leaves Kyurem-B taking an attack before moving and Toxic from Zapdos cripples it from staying healthy.[just keep this part in c&c under status]
* Stealth Rock, a major problem for Ice-types in general, hinders its longevity as it cannot stay healthy as it loses a quarter of its health each time, causing it to have trouble in major matchups like Water and Steel. [Talk about its general weaknesses, because its Ice typing is what causes it to be worn down by Stealth Rock so much]

Swapped Ice Beam and Fusion Bolt slots, rearrange the paragraph. STAB is first
[SET COMMENTS]

* Kyurem-B is an excellent wallbreaker due to its vast coverage and BoltBeam coverage. [not needed here but I can move this down]
* Fusion Bolt is great to take care of Water- and Flying-types like Mega Gyarados, Tentacruel, and Mega Charizard Y. [Tentacruel is a nice example here since bolt hits it for more damage and its special bulk to survive its other hits.]
* Ice Beam is vital to threaten Dragon-, Grass-, and Flying-types such as Dragonite, Mega Venusaur, and Landorus-T. Ice Beam hits a wide range of stuff, its probably not needed to list the types since its kinda obvious. "Ice Beam is Kyurem-B's primary STAB that hits plenty Pokemon like a, b, c. You can mention some cores/types that Fusion Bolt + Ice Beam breaks. Make sure you put it in the order the moves transition Ice Beam -> Fusion bolt targets ]
* Mention the BoltBeam thing here and talk about how together it can break through defensive cores or types like x and y more easily

* Earth Power gives Kyurem-B a way to super effectively allows Kyurem-B to hit Fire- and Steel-types such as Torkoal and Heatran. Torkoal, Heatran, and Magnezone.
* Roost is used to keep Kyurem-B healthy and recover recoil damage from Life Orb recoil.
* Substitute should only be used with Expert Belt, but it enables Kyurem-B to set up on Pokemon it can threaten out like Politoad, Hippowdon, and Magnezone. What type of Pokemon are Politoad and Hippowdon. Substitute is used on defensive pokemon and switches, remove the Magnezone since it can use Choice Scarf
* Hidden Power Fire is another option over Roost to make Kyurem-B take care of Mega Scizor and Forretress, but it is not worthwhile due to how worn down it can get from Life Orb and entry hazards.
* Life Orb is its item of choice, as it allows Kyurem-B to do major damage thanks to its great Attack and Special Attack stat.
* Expert Belt is another option, as this allows Kyurem-B to stay healthy while still dishing out damage and able to use Substitute.
* 4 Attack and 252 Special Attack EVs make Kyurem-B's attacks as strong as possible while 252 Speed EVs with a Naive nature makes Kyurem-B outpace Pokemon such as Suicune and Landorus-T. I would prefer another example

* Kyurem-B's teammates love Kyurem for helping greatly in the Water-, Flying- and Fire-type matchup. [remove the Fire matchup, that's autoloss]
* Avalugg is the only good hazard removal that Ice has, and it a must have to have on every Ice team because of Ice's major entry hazard weakness. It can also punish physical attackers with its Rocky Helmet like Mega Lopunny and Choice Scarf Kyurem-B and Recover off the damage.
* Mamoswine can aid Kyurem-B with gaining KOs with using Stealth Rock and help with walls like Chansey because of its Endeavor + Focus Sash set. It can also do damage with Ice Shard to get some chip off, or KO a Pokemon after it Endeavor. It can also utilize Choice Scarf to take on Pokemon like Mega Lopunny and outpace most Dragon-types par Latios.
* Weavile is an excellent wallbreaker with either Life Orb or Choice Band to pursuit trap Psychic-types like Victini and Jirachi.
* Cloyster can be used alongside Kyurem-B as Kyurem-B can get rid of threats like Mega Venusaur so Cloyster can set up with Shell Smash and sweep in Flying-, Dragon-, and Fire-type matchup.
* Piloswine can be used for Stealth Rock and a Volcarona counter if Mamoswine is running a Choice Scarf or Choice Band set. Stealth Rock helps Kyurem-B break Fire-types like Torkoal and Steel-types like Skarmory.
* Lapras can use Freeze Dry to greatly help in the Water-type matchup along with its ability Water Absorb to take on most Water-types like Mega Swampert and Politoad. It can also help with troubling Steel-types like Mega Scizor and Excadrill with Hidden Power Fire and Surf.
* Walrein can be used for its Thick Fat ability to help ease up the Fire-type matchup against Pokemon that Kyurem-B struggle with like Victini and Heatran. Walrein can also help with Steel-types that Kyurem-B has trouble beating like Mega Scizor, Excadrill and Heatran with Hidden Power Fire and Surf.
* Froslass can use Spikes to form a hazard stacking core with Mamoswine or Piloswine that helps Kyurem-B wallbreak Pokemon and wear down threats to it like Keldeo and Victini. It can also be used to spin block in matchups like Bug and Fire to ensure that the hazards will not be off the opponent's side of the field. Thanks to Ghost-typing it can also cause the opponent some guessing games to use Fighting-type attacks, definitely Scared Sword and Close Combat from Keldeo and Terrakion.

I'm not done checking this but implement this so I can look through the rest. make sure you capitalize move names and stuff

* Ice Beam is Kyurem-B's primary STAB that hits plenty Pokemon like Dragonite, Mega Venusaur, and Landorus-T.
* Fusion Bolt is great to take care of Water- and Flying-types like Mega Gyarados, Tentacruel, and Mega Charizard Y.

* Substitute should only be used with Expert Belt, but it enables Kyurem-B to use it on Pokemon it can threaten out like Politoad and Hippowdon.
* Hidden Power Fire is another option over Roost to make Kyurem-B take care of Mega Scizor and Forretress, but it is not worthwhile due to how worn down it can get from Life Orb and entry hazards.
* Life Orb is its item of choice, as it allows Kyurem-B to do major damage thanks to its great Attack and Special Attack stat.
* Expert Belt is another option, as this allows Kyurem-B to stay healthy while still dishing out damage and able to use Substitute.
* 252 Speed EVs with a Naive nature make Kyurem-B outpace Pokemon such as Suicune and Heatran.

* Kyurem-B's teammates love Kyurem for helping greatly in the Water- and Flying-type matchup.
* Avalugg is the only good hazard removal that Ice has, and is a must-have to have on every Ice team because of Ice's major entry hazard weakness. It can also punish physical attackers with its Rocky Helmet like Mega Lopunny and Excadrill. Feels like its too many extra words here, just say it removes entry hazards, notably stealth rock that could wear down kyub and check physical attackers. don't mention the rocky helmet part tbh
* Mamoswine can aid Kyurem-B with gaining KOs by using Stealth Rock and help with walls like Chansey because of its Endeavor + Focus Sash set. It can also do damage with Ice Shard to get some chip off, or KO a Pokemon after it Endeavor. It can also utilize Choice Scarf to take on Pokemon like Mega Lopunny and outpace most Dragon-types par Latios. Group Mamoswine and Piloswine as Stealth Rock setters. Then make a line about Mamoswine checking Steel- and Rock-types. Scarf isn't a mainstream set so just remove. I'd also remove endeavor + sash, choice band mamoswine can muscle through defensive pokemon like chansey, porygon2, and steel- and rock-types. Dw about listing the multiple sets mamoswine can run, just talk about what it does for kyurem-black. Mamoswine & Piloswine's stealth rock -> Mamoswine (2 sentences)
* Weavile is an excellent wallbreaker with either Life Orb or Choice Band to pursuit trap Psychic-types like Victini and Jirachi. This is true but since this isn't Choice Scarf Kyurem-Black, Weavile should be Choice Scarf here. Talk about how weavile can outspeed threats like Gengar, Victini. the choice scarf emphasis feels necessary here
* Cloyster can be used alongside Kyurem-B as it can get rid of threats like Mega Venusaur so Cloyster can set up with Shell Smash and sweep in Flying-, Dragon-, and Fire-type matchup. re-read this, I'll come back to this tho.
* Piloswine can be used for Stealth Rock and a Volcarona counter if Mamoswine is running a Choice Scarf or Choice Band set. Stealth Rock helps Kyurem-B break Fire-types like Torkoal and Steel-types like Skarmory.
* Lapras can use Freeze Dry to greatly help in the Water-type matchup along with its ability Water Absorb to take on most Water-types like Mega Swampert and Politoed. It can also help with troubling Steel-types like Mega Scizor and Excadrill with Hidden Power Fire and Surf.
* Walrein can be used for its Thick Fat ability to help ease up the Fire-type matchup against Pokemon that Kyurem-B struggle with like Victini and Heatran. Walrein can also help with Steel-types that Kyurem-B has trouble beating like Mega Scizor, Excadrill and Heatran with Hidden Power Fire and Surf.
Sentence 1: Group Lapras and Walrein dealing with Steel- and Fire-types. Sentence 2: Talk about the difference? You should say why Lapras is the preferred option over Walrein if you include this sentence.
* Froslass can use sets Spikes to form a hazard stacking core with Mamoswine or Piloswine that helps Kyurem-B wallbreak Pokemon and wear down threats to it like Keldeo and Victini. It can also be used to spin block in matchups like Bug and Fire to ensure that the hazards will not be on the opponent's side of the field. Thanks to Ghost-typing it can also cause the opponent some guessing games to use Fighting-type attacks like Scared Sword and Close Combat from Keldeo and Terrakion. *Clicks Stone Edge* its Ghost-typing moreso helps itself more than Kyurem-B, it does nothing to these Fighting-types at all, they just switch out
