Kyurem-Black @ Assault Vest
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 248 HP / 112 SpA / 88 SpD / 60 Spe
Serious Nature
- Ice Beam
- Fusion Bolt
- Earth Power
- Icy Wind

A Pokemon seemingly more geared for offensive roles with its base 170 Attack, Kyurem-B amazingly shines as a top threat in DOU with a supportive Assault Vest set. Its colossal bulk lets it easily take on the strongest attackers in the metagame such as Spectrier and Zygarde; the particular EV spread shown can devour a +1 Meteor Beam from Nihilego, a testament to how Serious of a threat Kyurem-B can be. Meanwhile, Ice / Electric / Ground coverage lets it hit a multitude of metagame threats—from Rillaboom and Landorus-T to Tapu Fini and Incineroar—for super effective damage, ensuring that it can pack a punch even without much investment. It also provides utility in speed control with Icy Wind, which is always handy for maintaining initiative on the board. All of these combined make Kyurem-B a matchup nightmare; its ability to singlehandedly check nearly the entire metagame by itself lets it stand out as one of DOU's best.

I probably wouldn't say "undisputed top 2" just because that kind of is disputable but otherwise looks good, QC 1/1

I hate you for that serious pun please delete your account
