Kyurem @ Choice Specs

IVs: 0 Atk
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Ice Beam
- Freeze-Dry
- Focus Blast / Earth Power

[SET COMMENTS]
Kyurem makes for an exceptional special wallbreaker on Dragon teams by virtue of its high Special Attack further boosted by Choice Specs and a strong STAB combination. Ice Beam shreds through defensive Pokemon such as Skarmory, Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and Amoonguss. Freeze-Dry, despite being weaker than Ice Beam, still hits the same walls with the added benefit of taking out Water-types such as Swampert, Toxapex, and Primarina. Focus Blast is strong coverage that targets Steel-types that resist both of its STAB moves such as Heatran and Kingambit, as well as Rock-types such as Tyranitar and Garganacl. Alternatively, Earth Power hits the same targets as Focus Blast along with non-Air Balloon Gholdengo and Poison-types such as Alolan Muk, Galarian Slowking, and Okidogi.

Kyurem appreciates entry hazard support from the likes of Archaludon and Garchomp to wear down foes into OHKO range of one of its attacks. Notably, Kyurem now has a great chance of OHKOing mixed defensive Toxapex sets after Stealth Rock and one layer of Spikes damage and a chance to outright OHKO physically defensive Ting-Lu after one layer of Spikes damage. In return, Archaludon and Garchomp appreciate Kyurem threatening entry hazard removers such as Great Tusk, Gliscor, and Mandibuzz. Thanks to their Steel typing and great bulk, Archaludon and Hisuian Goodra take on Fairy-types; Archaludon takes on Mimikyu and Azumarill, while Hisuian Goodra handles Flutter Mane, Choice Specs Iron Valiant, and Enamorus. Choice Scarf Dragapult spreads paralysis with Thunder Wave, and its faster U-turn allows it to threaten the likes of Choice Scarf Hoopa-U and Choice Scarf Meowscarada, the latter of which can be especially threatening to Dragon teams with its Protean-boosted Play Rough, while Choice Scarf Latias handles Fighting-types such as non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant and Zamazenta. Dragapult and Latias appreciate Kyurem taking out Ting-Lu and Primarina in return. Choice Scarf Roaring Moon provides great speed control, outspeeding and threatening the likes of Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, Choice Scarf Latias, Gholdengo, and Enamorus while providing pivoting with U-turn. In return, Kyurem deals with Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, Skarmory, and Amoonguss. Late-game sweepers such as Gouging Fire, Swords Dance Garchomp, and Dragonite appreciate Kyurem's wallbreaking that enables their sweep.

Flash Cannon is an alternative option for Kyurem, allowing it to take on Fairy-types that resist both its STAB options such as Klefki and Alolan Ninetales. However, most Fairy-type targets of Flash Cannon would outspeed and force Kyurem out.

Can keep mention of Scarf Pult and also throw in a mention of Scarf Latias. Choice Scarf variants of Dragapult can spread paralysis with Thunder Wave and its faster U-turn allows it to threaten the likes of Choice Scarf Hoopa-U and Choice Scarf Meowscarada, the latter of which can be especially threatening to Dragon teams with its Protean Play Rough.
