SV OU Specs Kyu And its defensive core (1700+)

There are a lot of kyurem sets around but one that I don't see nearly as often as I used to is the specs kyurem set, as I always have been fond of it, and so I wanted to see if I could build something that isn't super derivative that can climb up relatively high, and so this team is my attempt to do exactly that.

:kyurem: : Kyurem is one of the best special attackers in the game and with access to both ice and dragon type stab as well as solid coverage it threatens basically all teams especially if you terastallize into an ice type for addition stab. Even with most av :slowking-galar: sets tera ice ice beam can 2 shot and draco meteor applies pressure on everything. in addition it is timid instead of modest meaning that it can outspeed :great tusk:, :Landorus-Therian: as well as max speed and hp :pecharunt: . In addition it 2 shots most gholdengo sets with ice. Draco meteor is for the hardest hitting stab move to pressure any non-fairy type as well. Earth power is to pressure any poison and steel types like :Goodra-Hisui: or tera poison :clefable: as well as providing another option to pressure :slowking-galar: without using terastallization.

:zamazenta: : Zamazenta has one of the best speed tiers in the ou tier, with the only relevant mons outspeeding it being :deoxys-speed: and :dragapult: . In addition it has great coverage in stone edge to deal with :moltres: , ice fang to handle mons like :dragonite: and :gliscor: as well as crunch for :pecharunt: and :gholdengo: . The close combat also 2 shots any :great tusk: set with terastallization, 2 shots nearly all :corviknights: and defensive :alomomola: and one shots all utilized :ogerpon-wellspring: sets with close combat. in tandem with a good defensive core it makes it possible to get it in when need be and pressure teams at all points

:alomomola:: with an amazing hp stat and solid stats for both defenses the av set feels nearly unbreakable. it provides a great wall to nearly all special attacking sets including even specs special attacking :walking wake: . To deal with things like stored power sets the tera typing on the alomomola is dark to make sure stored power doesnt go crazy. with the magnanimous hp stat it has as well it can take some physical hits if need be. mirror coat is meant to dealt with mons like :walking wake: or :gholdengo: and trick water absorb threats like :volcanion: into attacking to win the 1v1. in addition the regenerator ability makes it so that even in precarious situations it can make it through hp regeneration.

:slowking-galar:: on a bulky offense team it feels necessary to have multiple walls for each attacking type and so to handle what can't be handled like specs :thundurus-therian: we have the :slowking-galar: to handle that side of things. With access to chilly reception as a great pivoting move, as well as access to the great special attacking move future sight, this mon is almost always threatening. with chilly reception and future sight this mon always applies pressure on stall teams by making the opposition pick will a spdef or defensive mon stay in after the chilly reception into a physical attacker, and it makes it hard to predict what you should do. in addition it only takes about 50 from non terastallized walking wake with plus special attack in sun and provides at least a one turn pivot if need be. it also applies immediate pressure on :clefable: and :hatterene: , ice beam to surprise :Gliscor: and :great tusk: as well having enough bulk to live an eq from jolly :garchomp: it serves a multitudes of amazing utilities. and if the :walking wake: gets out of hand then tera water can serve a similar role to what :alomomola: is doing .

:weezing-galar: : :weezing-galar: has a great physical defense stat meaning that ceaseless edge from :Samurott-Hisui: bounces off pressty easily, it can tank at least one headlong rush from :great tusk: . even though its main purpose is to be a defensive wall it also has the ability to apply a lot of pressure on stall teams with its ability neutralizing gas since it stops regenerator, natural cure, and toxic heal. with guaranteed removal in defog with its ability as well as it can 1v1 many iron valiant sets in general. With pain split and its ability it also 1v1s the ultimate 1v1 mon in :garganacl: with wil o wisp and strange steam.

:pecharunt:: :Pecharunt: has an incredibly high defense stat that makes it almost the perfect wall for most physical mons, especially since :roaring moon: got its ban. With access to Malignant Chain it has access to a powerful move with a 50 percent chance of badly poisoning mons. in addition it has the potential to beat jolly boosted d-dance :dragonite: in a 1v1 with malignant chain, parting shot, and recover. it also has a very useful access to a pivot move in parting shot that allows you to get in your offensive threats. In addition it also 1v1s :ogerpon-wellspring: making it have incredible defensive utility even if it can't beat most special attackers in a 1v1. Finally it stabilizes any team that is dependent on a defensive wall as a whole. If any ground types get out of hand as well we have tera grass to handle that.

Team weaknesses: Ground type mons like :Landorus-Therian: and :great tusk: are immensely threatening to this team if they go unchecked and can apply massive pressure that no one wants to deal with. Tera Ghost :kingambit: is also something that can be extremely scary for this team to handle. Covert Cloak :Gholdengo: in tandem with hazard stacks provides massive issues as it neutralizes the main source of hazard removal on this team. :Hoopa-Unbound: is massively problematic as unless they let your :zamazenta: handle it through a misplay it can heavily damage this team as a whole. Finally Hex wisp :dragapult: can be a bit to deal with for this team although it definitely is doable as long as you keep the hp on your :slowking-galar: and :alomomola: to handle it.

This team provided me with a good amount of success and in the hands of a better player I'm sure it could climb even higher. Anyways I hope you all have a great one and that you enjoy this team, goodbye!
