^ i dont think that team had a bad kyurem mu necessarily, at least vs the more standard set (SubRoost). My primary line for it was teleporting with slowking (takes about 40ish) into scale chomp with dice + also had zama to come in a few times in the back, but that plan got blown up by a modest ebelt set which has many shortcomings vs other things which is why it isnt the standard -- thats just tournament innovation cant be too mad about it.
I dont really like kyurem, i think it demands quite specific prep from bulkier teams because it is very difficult to limit its entry on balance staples that kinda just need to be used in order to deal with the rest of the meta (glisc / pex / alo / whip knock ferro) while requiring very little skill to use (this is immaterial but just more of a qualm of mine; it is really difficult compared to other balance breakers ala sd oger / dd z nite to "outplay" a kyurem with balance vs an opponent of roughly equal skill)
However, I think kyurem is a fine presence all things considered despite my personal distaste from a more objective lens, and this is coming from someone who has definitely played vs more kyurems in tournament than anyone else, as keeping these balance teams honest feels like a healthy trade overall for an otherwise incredibly strong archetype

Kyurem discussion aside, I think the meta is still in a pretty balanced state currently and have enjoyed playing / building in PL & FL
