Yes, I forgot to list silver's set. The CB set is okay since it's not an OU set and it's not really common atm.

Sanger Zonvolt's CB Kyurem-B
ZZtrollZZ's Choice Specs Kyurem-B
mertyville's Hone Claws Kyurem-B
TheInsanity's SubSalac Kyurem-B
aesf's WP Bulky Kyurem-B
silver97's AV Kyurem-B
 
Okay, I'll do that.
Each week I'll reserve a post under the results and then constantly update that list, thanks for the idea :]

I'll use this post for this week:
Sanger Zonvolt's CB Kyurem-B
ZZtrollZZ's Choice Specs Kyurem-B
mertyville's Hone Claws Kyurem-B
TheInsanity's SubSalac Kyurem-B
aesf's WP Bulky Kyurem-B
silver97's AV Kyurem-B

The HM Slave
Kyurem-Black
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Cut
- Rock Smash
- Strength
- Fly
 
It's listed under Doubles, so I figured that it would be okay since it's not registered as an OU set. Incidently, didn't Jukain give you the OK to list silver97's AV set with the rest of the sets?
Oops sorry man, my bad i should have checked better.
 
Lol I forgot about this, today is saturday so we need to start voting!
You have until sunday to cast your votes.

Here are the entries:
Sanger Zonvolt's CB Kyurem-B - 1
ZZtrollZZ's Choice Specs Kyurem-B - 1
mertyville's Hone Claws Kyurem-B - 3
TheInsanity's SubSalac Kyurem-B
aesf's WP Bulky Kyurem-B - 5
silver97's AV Kyurem-B - 5

I will constantly update this post, and I'll start off by voting for aesf's WP Bulky Kyurem-B

That's ass. HM Slave was the most viable yet you disregard it. What the fuck man?

aesf's WP Bulky Kyurem-B - 1

if we could change those horrible EVs though that'd be splendid.
 
Recreant's LO+Roost Kyurem-B

Aesf's WP Bulky Kyurem-B

If only because I know how much Kyurem-B wrecks with just a speed boost, though I do agree that having no offensive EVs is questionable.
 
K so does anyone have any better ideas for the EV spread?
I was thinking something along an Adamant nature with 56 Hp / 252 Atk / 228 Spe EVs. This lets it outspeed Adamant Excadrill in Sand at +2 while giving it enough attack to murder everything. If you aren't worried about weather benchmarks, you can just dump it all into HP and Attack since at +2 speed it outspeeds timid base 150s. Mostly I think it would just benefit from the extra attack, but I haven't had time to really test it, so I can't say from experience if Kyurem needs the extra power.

EDIT: Okay, I really tried going down the Viability list for something that would wall Kyurem at +2 Atk and +2 SpA without investment, and about the only thing it might secure an extra kill on is Scizor, aka the one thing you shouldn't set up on. So, while an HP and Atk spread would give it more usefulness outside of when WP activates, admittedly once it goes off about the only thing on this earth that will stop it is Scizor and Mach Punch users regardless of 252 attack EVs or 0.

EDIT2: Welp I'm dumb and thought that Weakness Policy added Speed. I'd say Naive 252 HP / 232 Speed / 24 SpA so it can outrun crap like Lando-T and Mega Garchomp. Can't remember the exact details of that speed tier.

Where is it getting the +2 speed lol? Weakness Policy doesn't boost speed and it doesn't have Agility.
