VGC Kyurem-white is a bum and Kyurem-black is a goat.

Wsg I got another team this one is using Kyurem-White, typically not an amazing restricted but I made it work pretty well.
Please rate it and tell me what I can fix.

Grimmsnarl is here to support the team with screens as well as lower opponents special attack and set up misty terrain, this is to lessen Kyurem-Blacks's weaknesses to dragon and prevent will-o-wisps and thunder waves.

Kyurem white is incredibly strong when used correctly, I ran power herb because Kyurem-black has no good ice type stab so I decided that it could nuke opponents with a 140 base power Freeze shock. I decided not to run dragon stab because I couldn't use it in misty terrain and the best physical dragon move is Dragon Claw, so I chose dragon dance as an alternative. Tera electric makes Fusion Bolt a strong stab move and removes its weakness to steel

Kingambit I believe is a solid pick for this team and especially a solid duo with Kyurem-Black. This is because I can't run clear amulet on Kyurem, This means to scare away intimidate users, Defiant Kingambit is a good pick. It also works well with Farigiraf and can threaten both Calyrex's.

Kingambit @ Black Glasses

Urshifu rapid is here for mainly coverage and to do damage, It can support Kingambit and Kyurem with coaching and can threaten Chien-Pao with Surging Strikes.

Tornadus offers valuable speed control for this team, It runs snowscape to upgrade Kyurems bulk and leer to let the physical mons do more damage. As a bonus it also shuts down other weather such as sun and rain teams. Bleakwind is to hit flying-weak mons like rillaboom,

Farigiraf is a strong special attacker, I ran it to counter trick room directly and do even more damage with throat spray hyper voice and psychic, its nice because It can threaten Amoonguss and fighting types that hit Kyurem and gambit for super effective damage.




I was thinking about Amoonguss but decided against it due to misty terrain, please tell me what I can fix and again heres the pokepaste.
 
Cool! I like actually making use of Misty Terrain's dragon damage reduction.
For Kyurem, you mentioned not having an ice STAB except Freeze Shock, but have you tried Loaded Dice Icicle Spear? Either way it takes up your item, but since this is a bulkier screens team, it looks like you're wanting Kyurem to be on the field a while. Being able to use it more than once without a power-up turn is an advantage worth considering to offset the lower (but still high) power.
(Now I'm having ideas about Pickup Trick Ambipom to use Freeze Shock every turn but there's no way that's worth it lol).

wow i didnt even think of that thank you bro
 
Well. At a glance I'd say weezing g for misty makes more sense than manual. And then maybe ninetails a for veil and snow, over Grimm screens.

That Mon was suggested in another RMT, so I'm not the one saying it's ok to begin with.

I wanted weezing but realized that grimmsnarl can do both the job of ninetails and weezing, snow is good but not needed since im not going to be using blizzard so thats why I just ran snowscape torn

Hey Animecatbelike, this team is quite interesting, taking Kyurem-Black:kyurem-black:into consideration. With quite the positive matchup into Pokemon such as Kyogre:kyogre:, Groudon:groudon:, and after a Dragon Dance, Miraidon:miraidon:, it can surely be threatening under certain circumstances. Here are the weaknesses I noted:

- Once Terastilized, Tera Fire Koraidon:koraidon:can be quite the issue, wrecking you with Flare Blitz and Collision Course alike. Even if sun is removed through Tornadus:tornadus:, Pokemon such as Raging Bolt:raging bolt:and specifically Flutter Mane:flutter mane:have a pretty free roam, removing threats to Koraidon:koraidon:such as Tornadus:tornadus:and Farigiraf:farigiraf:.

- The fairly common combo of Farigiraf:farigiraf:and Calyrex-Ice:calyrex-ice:seems to be quite the issue, with no good way to hit it without Kingambit:kingambit:. Urshifu-R:urshifu-rapid-strike:can work, but just doesn't deal enough damage while getting wrecked by a Psychic or Dazzling Gleam from Farigiraf:farigiraf:. And Kingambit:kingambit:will just get wrecked by High Horsepower, especially with Terastilization stripping the Dark-type weakness of CIR:calyrex-ice:.

Changes:

Tornadus:tornadus: --> Whimsicott:whimsicott:
While not mandatory, Whimsicott:whimsicott:seems like the better fit here. Snowscape isn't that necessary at all as you already have dual screens thanks to Grimmsnarl:grimmsnarl:, while also getting the jump on Pokemon that Tornadus:tornadus:couldn't. With the added Encore pressure, opposing Pokemon may be terrified to Protect in front of Whimsicott:whimsicott:, granting more opportunities for Kyurem-Black:kyurem-black:to clean up the opponents.

Urshifu-R:urshifu-rapid-strike: --> Ogerpon-W:ogerpon-wellspring:
Again, while not mandatory, I'd change this to Ogerpon-Wellspring:ogerpon-wellspring:due to role compression. When dropping Urshifu-R:urshifu-rapid-strike:, you pick up a new Water-type Pokemon which can still deal lots of damage with Ivy Cudgel, but it can also redirect attacks that are targeted at the setting-up partner Kyurem-Black:kyurem-black:.

Power Herb:power herb: --> Loaded Dice:loaded dice:on Kyurem-Black:kyurem-black:
As mentioned before by HallowedHarlequin, Loaded Dice grants this legendary Pokemon a nice and consistent Ice-type STAB in Icicle Spear, as well as the powerful Scale Shot. Check above for the post.

Freeze Shock --> Icicle Spear on Kyurem-Black:Kyurem-Black:
This was outlined above, but when combined with Loaded Dice, this can do quite the amounts of damage.

Fusion Bolt --> Scale Shot on Kyurem-Black:Kyurem-Black:
This was outlined before, but when combined with Loaded Dice, this can do quite good damage.

Tera Electric --> Tera Ghost on Kyurem-Black:Kyurem-Black:
Hear me out: for one, we dropped Fusion Bolt, so Tera Electric isn't the best option anymore. While here, Tera Ghost helps you into Collision Course from Koraidon:Koraidon:, Close Combat from the Urshifu formes:urshifu:, and much more.

New Kyurem-Black:kyurem-black:EV spread
For the highlights of this spread, you can live two Glacial Lances, surviving on 1% after both. The speed allows you to outspeed max speed Timid Tornadus:tornadus:when at +1 speed (achieved with DDance). Power was just maxed out as much as possible for peak damage.

With that, we come to a close! Here is your new team. With that, good luck and happy battling!

I think that Raging Bolt:raging bolt:can be a good replacement for Kingambit:Kingambit:, but specifically the bulky Calm Mind variant, as it can take advantage of the dual screens and easily bulk hits from Zamazenta-C:Zamazenta-crowned:set up, and then KO it in 1-2 hits with Thunderclap. Assault Vest Raging Bolt:raging bolt:can work as well, possibly better. I would test both out and see how they feel.
