[SET COMMENTS]
With sky-high Special Attack and above-average Speed, Choice Specs Kyurem is a fearsome wallbreaker on Dragon teams. Freeze-Dry allows Kyurem to pressure Water-types such as Toxapex, Pelipper, and Gastrodon, breaking through bulky Water-type cores to allow its teammates to sweep late-game. Ice Beam is a great move to use against Flying and Ground teams and allows Kyurem to 2HKO Pokemon such as Corviknight and Ferrothorn. Draco Meteor is a very strong option that hits any unresisted foe for massive damage, such as Rotom-H and Torkoal. Earth Power allows Kyurem to nail threats such as Aegislash and Bisharp. Kyurem should be used as an early- to mid-game wallbreaker, punching holes in the opposing team for its teammates. Maximum Speed investment alongside a Timid nature allows Kyurem to Speed tie with Pokemon such as Indeedee-M.

Both Kommo-o and Duraludon are able to provide Stealth Rock support, allowing Kyurem to wallbreak more easily. Kommo-o is able to OHKO bulkier threats such as Tyranitar and Chansey, which can take Kyurem's attacks fairly easily. Duraludon is able to threaten Fairy-types such as Mimikyu and Choice Scarf Gardevoir, both of which are able to OHKO Kyurem. Kyurem appreciates Choice Scarf Dragapult as a teammate, as it is able to outspeed and OHKO faster threats such as Hydreigon, Barraskewda, and Kingdra. Dragalge is also appreciated as a teammate, as it can switch into Fairy-type attacks from Pokemon such as Clefable, Primarina, and Ribombee and is able to threaten them out. In addition, Dragalge can set Toxic Spikes and can allow Kyurem to get into the match safely via Flip Turn. Noivern is appreciated as a teammate, as it is able to remove Stealth Rock with Defog for Kyurem and is able to check Keldeo and Urshifu-S with Hurricane, both of which otherwise outspeed and OHKO Kyurem. Nasty Plot Hydreigon appreciates Kyurem's wallbreaking ability, as they can wear down their shared checks together, such as Incineroar and Tyranitar, thus allowing Hydreigon to sweep more easily late-game. Choice Band Dracovish and Choice Band Haxorus are teammates that can also form a wallbreaking core with Kyurem.

Let's update information post-DLC, shall we?:
-Reorder the moveset or description in accordance with eachother; i.e. if Ice Beam is the first moveslot, then the info about Ice Beam should go before Freeze-Dry.
-Probably don't need that many Water-type examples for Freeze-Dry anyway.
-Add Dragalge.
-Specifically mention Choice Scarf Dragapult, and replace Gengar as an example with Kingdra.
-Mention Noivern's Hurricane to pressure out Urshifu.

I'm currently unsure if I want this analysis to switch over to SubRoost or keep it Specs, or if we want to make SubRoost an entirely different set. QC can chime in on this anytime on discord or here, but for now I'll give this the tentative approval. QC 1/2

*' Freeze-Dry allows Kyurem to pressure Water-types such as Toxapex, Pelipper and Gastrodon. ' Elaborate here.Talk why kyurem dealing with water type is important, you can add how it makes it easier for its teammates to beat water teams after bulky water Pokemon are gone.

*' Draco Meteor is a very strong option and hits any unresisted foe for massive damage.' Provide 1-2 examples here which take massive damage from Draco Meteor or get outright koed.

*' Ice Beam allows Kyurem to maintain a 2HKO on Pokemon such as Corviknight and Ferrothorn.' Add that Ice Beam is a great move to use against Flying and Ground-type teams and then add that it has the added benefit of breaking troublesome pokemon for dragon like ferrothorn and corviknight.

*' Kommo-o is able to OHKO bulkier threats such as Tyranitar and Snorlax which can take Kyurem's attacks fairly easily.' Remove Snorlax, add chansey. Also add haxorus and cb Dracovish for wallbreaking.

QC 2/2
