Kyurem-B [QC 0/1] [GP 0/1]

[Steorra]

Kyurem-Black @ Icium Z
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Substitute
- Freeze Shock
- Fusion Bolt
- Hone Claws

SM OU has several scary beasts, but none compare to Kyurem-B with its disastrous attack stat and powerful BoltBeam coverage. It can use Substitute to remove any prediction it might need to make, along with letting it utilize its great resistances while preventing it from being statused by the likes of Toxapex and Rotom-W. Substitute can also let it use Freeze Shock without worrying about taking unnecessary damage. Even the likes of Clefable and Ferrothorn who don't fear Kyurem-B as much can't face Freeze Shock boosted by Icium Z after minimal damage. Ice Beam gives it an Ice-type move that lacks power but can more readily threaten foes. However, with Kyurem-B's wall-breaking prowess comes flaws, most notably its mediocre speed tier that lets it be revenge-killed by Garchomp, Mega Medicham, and Mega Lopunny. Tapu Bulu, and Landorus-T can help out with these weaknesses, along with providing Kyurem-B with hazards and Grassy Terrain. Kyurem-B also appreciates Tornadus-T and Tapu Fini to provide hazard removal from Stealth Rock that minimizes its longevity greatly. It also enjoys pivot support from Tapu Koko that invites in Grass- and Ground-types for Kyurem-B to take advantage of while being brought in safely and appreciating the Electric Terrain support.

Adamant Nature
- Substitute
- Freeze Shock
- Fusion Bolt
- Hone Claws

USUM OU has several scary beasts, but none compare to Kyurem-B with its disastrous attack stat and powerful BoltBeam coverage STAB combination. To add to this, it can wield Substitute to eliminate any prediction it might need to make, along with letting it utilize its great resistances and while preventing it from being statused by the likes of Toxapex and Rotom-W. I think briefly mentioning how Substitute lets it raw Freeze Shock against more passive targets like Ferrothorn that can't as easily pop the substitute is really important especially if you want to preserve the Z-move for something else. Fusion Bolt and Freeze Shock prove to be perfect coverage. Obvious Even the likes of Clefable and Ferrothorn who don't fear this STAB combination as much can't stand up to Freeze Shock boosted by Icium Z after minimal damage. You can reword this sentence to accommodate for the removal of the previous one Particularly, Ash-Greninja and Mega Gyarados benefit from the aforementioned examples being pressured. Talk about this in the teammates area, not here Hone Claws compliments the rest of this set nicely, utilizing Substitute's created opportunities to setup and if any targets were to withstand Kyurem-B's attacks before, would fall now to Hone Claws. can you list some examples that are would take some hits before but can't after a Hone Claws? However, with Kyurem-B's wall-breaking prowess comes flaws, most notably its mediocre speed tier that lets it be revenge-killed by quite a few Pokemon. Garchomp, Mega Medicham, and Mega Lopunny can all take advantage of Kyurem-B quite well. Skarmory, Tapu Bulu, and Landorus-T can all help out with these weaknesses, along with providing Kyurem-B with hazards and Grassy Terrain. Pivoting support is very nice for it too since it's going to want to minimize chip; mainly to use its HP to abuse its bulk

lmk when implemented

To add to this, it can wield Substitute to eliminate any prediction it might need to make, along with letting it utilize its great resistances while preventing it from being statused by the likes of Toxapex and Rotom-W. I feel like there's a way you can combine these to shorten the word count Hone Claws compliments the rest of this set nicely, utilizing Substitute's created opportunities to setup and bolster its power further. and if any targets were to withstand Kyurem-B's attacks before, would fall now to Hone Claws. Even the likes of Clefable and Ferrothorn who don't fear Kyurem-B as much can't stand up to Freeze Shock boosted by Icium Z and Hone Claws.

Skarmory, Tapu Bulu, and Landorus-T can all help out with these weaknesses, along with providing Kyurem-B with hazards and Grassy Terrain. Kyurem-B also appreciates pivot support from Magearna and Tapu Koko that invites in Grass-types for Kyurem-B to take advantage of while bringing it in safely as well. Electric Terrain boosts fusion bolt too which is prominent against pex and fini

is probably fine after this but let me eye this over one more time
