Naive Nature
- Freeze Shock
- Fusion Bolt
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power / Substitute
Kyurem-B is one of the most terrifying wallbreakers SM OU has to offer thanks to its Icium Z-boosted Freeze Shock, which can OHKO common Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Clefable, opening up the door for partners like Tapu Koko and Hawlucha. Fusion Bolt makes it easier to power through Pokemon like Celesteela and Skarmory if Kyurem-B has used its Z-Move while also pressuring Toxapex. Ice Beam is used to give Kyurem-B a reliable STAB move after it has used its Z-Move. Earth Power gives Kyurem-B coverage against Rotom-W, Magearna, and Heatran, but Substitute makes Kyurem-B harder to revenge kill and eases prediction. Tapu Koko is a great partner that can boost Kyurem-B's Fusion Bolt with Electric Surge and remove entry hazards with Defog, while Kyurem-B can remove Ground-types like Excadrill and Landorus-T for it in return. U-turn or Volt Switch support from the likes of the aforementioned Tapu Koko, Rotom-W, and Magearna is also appreciated to give Kyurem-B opportunities to wallbreak.
