OU OU Kyurem

Kyurem @ Choice Specs
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Ice Beam
- Draco Meteor
- Earth Power
- Freeze-Dry

Kyurem is able to put great offensive pressure on many teams, as very few Pokemon can comfortably take its attacks. With perfect coverage and its power amplified by Choice Specs, it's not hard to see why this set makes Kyurem one of the most threatening wallbreakers in the tier. While Kyurem's typing is awesome offensively, it does give it a glaring weakness to entry hazards, making it almost mandatory to pair it with a reliable remover like Corviknight. Clefable is another excellent partner, as it can provide Wish support to keep Kyurem healthy throughout the battle and can come in on threats to it like Dragapult and Hydreigon. Both Corviknight and Clefable also have the ability to bring in Kyurem safely through the use of U-turn and Teleport, respectively. Finally, Kyurem can struggle with bulky Fairy-types like Clefable if it does not land a freeze over time, making checks to it like Excadrill, Aegislash, Jirachi, and Rotom-H solid teammates as well.

Should be ready for QC.

This is my first time writing a social media spotlight so any pointers in that regard are welcome.

This is all great, but one small thing I would edit in:

Finally, Kyurem can struggle with bulky Fairy-types like Clefable, making checks to it like Excadrill, Aegislash, Jirachi, and Rotom-Heat solid teammates as well.

I would change the start of this to: "Finally, Kyurem can struggle with bulky Fairy-types like Clefable if it does not land a freeze over time, making checks to it like..."

A lot of games with Kyurem lead to it getting a dozen or so opportunities to fish, which is pretty clutch and noteworthy in some capacity.

1/1 with this

Done! If OST finals happen before this is uploaded I'll change "current finalist" to "eventual finalist" if mncmt loses and "eventual winner" if he wins.
