[SET COMMENTS]
Lucarionite Kyurem’s high Special Attack combined with a great ability in Adaptability allows it to become a potent wallbreaker in Mix and Mega.
Freeze-Dry allows Kyurem to hit a variety of defensive Pokemon such as Mandibuzz, Ampharosite Clefable, and Hippowdon; slower offensive Pokemon such as Altarianite Kommo-o, Blastoisinite Hydreigon, and Zekrom; and bulky Water types such as Sablenite Gastrodon, Jellicent, Rotom-W, and Toxapex for super effective damage. Draco Meteor is Kyurem’s secondary STAB attack and gives it the ability to severely dent Manectite Mew, Reshiram, and Gyaradosite Toxapex. Ice Beam can be used to hit aforementioned Ground- and Dragon-types for a greater amount of damage than Freeze-Dry. The combination of these three moves is very threatening to the majority of the defensive cores in the metagame. Alternatively, one could opt to use Earth Power to deal with Steel-types like Necrozma-DM and to punish Altarianite Arcanine as it switches in. Roost provides Kyurem with longevity and is vital for it to be effective late-game. While a Timid nature allows Kyurem to outspeed Lucarionite Excadrill and Mamoswine, this still does not justify running it, as a Modest nature grants it more favorable rolls that help it dismantle defensive cores more efficiently. Hence, the latter should be preferred most of the time.

Despite this, Kyurem's inability to reliably beat Corviknight hurts its performance as a wallbreaker. Its average Speed and poor defensive typing mean that several faster threats like Lopunnite Zeraora, Terrakion, and Hydreigon and Altarianite Arcanine and Lucario can force it out. This, combined with its vulnerability to entry hazards, can take a heavy toll on Kyurem's longevity and effectiveness. As such, hazard control in form of Corviknight or Excadrill is recommended alongside Kyurem. Furthermore, defensive Pokemon like Hippowdon and Manectite Mew make great partners for Kyurem, being able to switch in against Excadrill, Terrakion, Zeraora, and the aforementioned Altarianite users. Mew, in particular, can help Kyurem get in the field safely with its pivot moves. Altarianite Arcanine also works as a great offensive partner, threatening out Corviknight and Lopunnite Zeraora. In turn, Kyurem can deal with Arcanine’s counters such as Mew, Toxapex, and Rhyperior.

Great job, looking forward to reading more from you :3 Add, remove, comment, modify. QC 1/2!

Kyurem’s high Special Attack combined with a great ability in the form of Adaptability allows it to become a potent wallbreaker in Mix and Mega.
Freeze Dry allows Kyurem to hit a variety of defensive mons such as Mandibuzz, Ampharosite Clefable, and Hippowdon as well as slower offensive mons like Altarianite Kommo-o, Blastoisinite Hydreigon, and Zekrom while also hitting bulky Water types such as Sablenite Gastrodon, Rotom-Wash and Toxapex for super effective damage. Draco Meteor is Kyurem’s secondary STAB and gives it the ability to severely dent Manectite Mew, Reshiram and Gyaradosite Toxapex. Ice Beam is a strong STAB devoid of drawbacks, and can be used to hit aforementioned Ground and Dragon types for a greater amount of damage than Freeze Dry. The combination of these three moves is very threatening to the majority of the defensive cores in the metagame. Alternatively, one could opt to use Earth Power to deal more damage to Steel types like Necrozma-DM and to punish Altarianite Arcanine on the switch. Roost provides Kyurem with longevity and is vital for it to be effective late game.
While a Timid nature allows it to outspeed Lucarionite Excadrill and Mamoswine, it misses out on potential OHKOs against Toxapex and Clefable and hence is not worth it most of the time. According to my calculator, you never OHKO them (any Pex, and SpDef Clefable, at least). It would be better to state that "While with a Timid nature Kyurem outspeeds Lucarionite Excadrill and Mamoswine, a Modest nature grants it more favorable rolls that help dismantling defensive cores more efficiently. Hence, the latter should be preferred most of the time".

Despite this, however, Kyurem's inability to reliably beat Corviknight hurts its performance as a wallbreaker. Its average Speed and poor defensive typing means that several faster threats, as well as Altarianite Arcanine and Lucario, can force him out. This, combined with its vulnerability to hazards, can take a heavy toll on Kyurem's longevity. As such, hazard control is recommended alongside Kyurem. Furthermore, defensive mons like Hippowdon and Manectite Mew make great partners for Kyurem, being able to switch in against Excadrill, Terrakion, Zeraora, and the aforementioned Altarianite users. Mew, in particular, can help Kyurem get in the field safely with its pivot moves. Lunala and Gengar also appreciate the company of Kyurem, which is able to deal with Mandibuzz and Gyaradosite Toxapex. They can pressure Altarianite Arcanine and Necrozma-DM, in return. Altarianite Arcanine also works as a great offensive partner, threatening out Corviknight and Lopunnite Zeraora. In turn, Kyurem can deal with Arcanine’s counters such as Mew, Toxapex, and Rhyperior.
The content here was very good, but I rephrased many things to give it a more logical flow, and I added a few nitbits of info here and there, so you'd better just copy paste this whole paragraph ^^

While with a Timid nature Kyurem outspeeds Lucarionite Excadrill and Mamoswine, a Modest nature grants it more favorable rolls that help dismantling defensive cores more efficiently. I think mentioning some scenarios or defensive cores where Modest helps would be nice because i'm not sure myself why Modest is generally better other than having really good odds to OHKO Sablenite Hippo with Ice Beam. If the only reason is because Kyurem doesn't care about outspeeding Lucarionite Excadrill or Mamoswine enough to justify Timid, I think that should be mentioned as well. Hence, the latter should be preferred most of the time.

Really strong analysis I only have a few suggestions/changes QC 2/2.

I couldn't really find any scenario where modest significantly differs itself from timid(except for banet pex under rocks) so ig running modest is just for better rolls. I just added that's it's still not worth outspeeding luc mamo and exca. If there is still something u want to me to add/delete in this matter, pls do.
Implemented the rest
