GG Offensive Pivot Kyurem-W (QC 1/2)

[kenn]

[SET]
Offensive Pivot (Kyurem) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Turboblaze
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Tera Type: Ice / Ground
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Ice Beam
- Freeze-Dry
- Earth Power

This Kyurem-W appreciates the freedom of switching moves as well as the ability to not be as reliant on entry hazard removal as its Choice Specs set. Draco Meteor is a powerful STAB move while Ice Beam rounds out Kyurem's STAB moves. Freeze-Dry allows Kyurem-W to nail Water-types such as Rotom-W, Ogerpon-W, and Primarina while Earth Power rounds out Kyurem's coverage, nailing Steel-types such as Heatran, Iron Treads, and Iron Crown. Tera Ice allows Kyurem-W to shed its weakness to Fairy and Dragon while also supercharging its Ice STAB; however, Tera Ground allows it to gain STAB on its only coverage move, Earth Power, to further pressure the opposing foes. Tera Ground also gives Kyurem-W a Stealth Rock resistance should it lose its Heavy-Duty Boots.

As a God, Kyurem-W donates a massive base 170 Special Attack stat that Pokemon such as Hisuian Electrode and Landorus appreciate. In the case of Hisuian Electrode, it also has an easier time threatening the Water-types that try to wall Kyurem-W such as Primarina and Dondozo. Hisuian Electrode also can threaten Speed slot Great Tusk that aim to outspeed Kyurem-W thanks to its base 150 Speed. Kyurem-W is also able to donate a respectable base 125 HP stat to Pokemon such as Rotom-W, Landorus-T, and Hatterene that appreciate the massive increase in bulk. Landorus-T can threaten Steel-types such as Iron Crown and Necrozma-DM while Hatterene is especially useful, as it can easily tank Fighting- and Dragon-type attacks aimed at Kyurem-W. Despite Kyurem-W's middling base 95 Speed stat, Pokemon such as Iron Hands and Reuniclus are grateful to be able to outspeed a lot of the common walls. Faster Pokemon such as Sneasler and Iron Moth can also help alleviate Kyurem-W's lackluster Speed stat while also threatening Fairy-types such as Primarina and Arceus-Fairy.

In the case of Hisuian Electrode, it also has an easier time threatening the Water-types that try to wall Kyurem-W such as Primarina and Hisuian Samurott Hamu really doesn't do anything into Kyu unless its in spdef which is less common, also in general waters aren't too great just because of freeze dry, nothing really wants to switch in. Potentially, you could also drop a mention on teammates that can threaten Steel-types (AV crown? idk, AV arch, NDM), just like Lando or Fires or something because EP esp on non-Tera Ground doesn't do too much damage without specs. Hisuian Electrode also can threaten Speed slot Great Tusk that aim to outspeed Kyurem-W thanks to its base 150 Speed. It Kyurem-W is also able to donate a respectable base 125 HP stat to Pokemon such as Rotom-W and Hatterene that appreciate the massive increase in bulk. Also, Hatterene is especially useful, as it can easily tank Fighting- and Dragon-type attacks aimed at Kyurem-W. Despite Kyurem-W's middling base 95 Speed stat, Pokemon such as Iron Hands maybe another mention here?are grateful to be able to leverage its massive Attack stat and high physical bulk by outspeeding generalize because more pokemon than hands can be used in speed a lot of the common walls. Usually Kyurem-W is slotted into the Defense slot as that is its lowest stat, but it may occasionally be put in the Speed slot as 95 is decent but doesn't match up to Zacian's base 138 or Eternatus' base 130 This is worded a little weirdly.
You did mention Helectrode already but somewhere maybe mention some more speed control
