[SET COMMENTS]
Kyurem is an excellent stallbreaker for Dragon teams with its access to Pressure, Roost, and Substitute, allowing it to force out notable bulky pests such as Toxapex and Mega Sableye. Freeze-Dry is a notable move in the Water matchup, as it allows Kyurem to effectively remove Mega Swampert and Pelipper to prevent rain. Earth Power eats away at Steel- and Fire-type competitors like Archaludon, Empoleon, and Heatran. With the given EV spread, Kyurem is able to stay behind its Substitute when hit by a Seismic Toss from Blissey while also being able to survive a Dazzling Gleam from Choice Specs Tapu Koko at full HP. Even with this bulk, Kyurem finds itself being threatened out by Fairy-types like Iron Valiant and Tapu Lele, so having teammates like Archaludon and Hisuian Goodra helps greatly because they can swap into incoming physical and special Fairy-type moves. Mega Altaria assists its icy companion by checking Dragon-type threats like the Lati twins and Garchomp with its Fairy typing. Choice Scarf Latias and Roaring Moon can revenge kill threats to Kyurem like Mega Lopunny, Choice Scarf Latias, and Choice Band Sneasler. Mega Latios and Kommo-o are notable wallbreakers that assist versus Steel-type threats like Mega Scizor and Hisuian Goodra. Garchomp complements Kyurem well by utilizing entry hazards so Kyurem has an easier time stallbreaking thanks to the greater chip damage.

- Take care with the wording of alternate forms (e.g.: Sableye-Mega -> Mega Sableye, Goodra Hisui -> Hisuian Goodra);
- Remove the "allowing Kyurem to effectively setup" part; it doesn't have a setup move;
- Mention Empoleon as an EP target;
- The EV spread also lets Kyurem live a Dazzling Gleam from Choice Specs Tapu Koko at full, mention that;
- Would break the latis + rm teammate mentions ; you could instead say Choice Scarf Latias + RM revenge kill threats to Kyurem like (example), then group Mega Latios with Kommo-o as a wallbreaker into Steel-types.
- Add Garchomp (or entry hazards from (x) and (y)) as a teammate so Kyurem has an easier time stallbreaking (or something along these lines).
