[SET COMMENTS]
An amazing offensive typing paired with perfect coverage, a very respectable Speed stat, and an admirable Special Attack stat further amplified by Choice Specs makes Kyurem a terrific wallbreaker. Ice Beam is a strong, reliable STAB move and is the most consistent option against common switch-ins like Corviknight and Clefable. Draco Meteor provides tremendously strong neutral coverage, OHKOing the likes of Rotom-H. Earth Power perfectly rounds out Kyurem's STAB combo, allowing it to do substantial damage to Steel-types like Aegislash and Jirachi. Freeze-Dry is a bit weaker than Ice Beam but can be used to take out Water-types like Toxapex, Rotom-W, and Gastrodon while retaining the ability to hurt Ice Beam's targets. Freeze-Dry also substantially improves Kyurem's matchup against rain teams, as it knocks out most common rain picks, including Pelipper, Dracovish, Seismitoad, and Mantine.

First and foremost, Kyurem requires entry hazard removal from teammates like Corviknight, Mandibuzz, Rotom-A, and Excadrill to stay active throughout the game because it is vulnerable to all forms of hazards, especially Stealth Rock. Corviknight, Mandibuzz, and Rotom-A can also function as pivots that can bring Kyurem in with U-turn or Volt Switch. Excadrill, on the other hand, can take on the bulky Fairy-types that Kyurem struggles with, such as Clefable and Sylveon, though partners like Aegislash, Gengar, and Jirachi can also fill this role. Furthermore, because Kyurem is susceptible to being worn down by chip damage, it appreciates support from teammates like Wish Clefable and Healing Wish Jirachi. These Pokemon can also function as checks to the Dragon- and Fighting-type threats that are able to revenge kill Kyurem, such as Dragapult, Hydreigon, and Conkeldurr.

An amazing offensive typing paired with perfect coverage in tandem with a very respectable Speed stat and an admirable Special Attack stat that is further amplified by Choice Specs make Kyurem a terrific wallbreaker. Ice Beam is a strong reliable STAB move that allows it to do significant damage to the majority of the metagame, including Corviknight and Fairy-types like Clefable and Togekiss. Togekiss isn't a particularly notable target when compared to either Corviknight or Clefable. Draco Meteor provides tremendously strong neutral coverage, cleanly knocking out the likes of Rotom-H and Conkeldurr. Earth Power perfectly rounds out Kyurem's STAB combo, allowing it to do substantial damage to Steel-types like Aegislash and Excadrill Bisharp. Ice Beam does a lot to Excadrill, I think Bisharp's a better example here. Freeze-Dry is a bit weaker than Ice Beam but can be used to take out Water-types like Toxapex, Rotom-W or Gastrodon while retaining the ability to hurt Ice Beam's targets. It's really important to note that Freeze-Dry improves Kyurem's matchup against rain teams substantially.

Thanks, implemented.

Ice Beam is a strong reliable STAB move that allows it to do significant damage to the majority of the metagame, including Corviknight and Fairy-types like Clefable.

I feel like it's unnecessary to specify Fairies as targets to begin with; i'd rather you just say it's the most consistent option vs these two or something similar.

Draco Meteor provides tremendously strong neutral coverage, cleanly knocking out the likes of Rotom-H and Conkeldurr

I feel like the conk mention is unnecessary here since it's not like it can particularly afford to ever stay in on Kyurem, especially considering that it's rarely ever going to be at full and it's like a 75% to ohko after a round of burn so it's just better to remove this mention altogether. Realistically you're only using Draco to hit heater anyways.

Earth Power perfectly rounds out Kyurem's STAB combo, allowing it to do substantial damage to Steel-types like Aegislash and Bisharp

Replace this Bisharp mention with Jirachi; Bisharp isn't comfortably taking an Ice Beam whereas beam comfortably bounces of rachi so it's a much better mention.

e: just for clarification "Furthermore, because Kyurem is susceptible to being worn down by chip damage, it appreciates Wish support from teammates like Clefable or Sylveon"

I'm honestly a bit sceptical on the Sylveon mention here; maybe mention Jirachi and the benefits of hwish instead? Rest looks fine.

QC 2/2
