Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Blizzard
- Earth Power
- Freeze-Dry
- Flash Cannon
Kyurem freezes its foes in their tracks in Doubles OU! With Assault Vest and snow up, Kyurem becomes very difficult to take down while putting out consistent STAB damage with Blizzard and Freeze-Dry. The latter of those two is essential in hitting the tier's Water-types such as Ogerpon-W and Pelipper. Earth Power helps to hit foes like Gholdengo and Incineroar, while Flash Cannon does nicely against Diancie and opposing Kyurem. Tera Steel is necessary to defend Kyurem from Pokemon such as Diancie, Gholdengo, and Ogerpon-C. Kyurem pairs well with Alolan Ninetales, as Kyurem depends on snow to increase its bulk and deal good spread damage. This Defense buff also further strengthens Kyurem's positive matchup against Chien-Pao and Dragonite. Assault Vest Kyurem is also one of the best Pokemon against the common combination of Tornadus and Landorus, eating their special attacks and hitting hard with Ice-type STAB moves. Since this set aims to be as bulky as possible, recovery from allies like Rillaboom and Sinistcha can help achieve that. It does struggle heavily with Pokemon that resist its Ice-type attacks like Gholdengo, so allies like Incineroar are very helpful to take down these foes.
