I would've actually submitted some type of bulky steel, but I got beaten to it.
Nevertheless, spike support is absolutely amazing for Kyurem-White, as it allows to chip its threats/checks and kill them by itself.
I believe that Roserade is one of the best leads in the tier, as it is able to outspeed Excadrill, Cloyster, Smeargle and lead Primal Groudon, put them to sleep, and set a couple of spikes up before striking them with a strong Grass Knot stab that 2HKOs.
Roserade is countered by Mega Sableye, Deoxys-Speed and Mega Diancie leads, but it is also able to 2HKO all of them with just Grass Knot.
I put Stun Spore on the set in order to slow down Scarf Yveltals that will just try to mindlessly defog, and when they do get slowed down, spikes will be able to be set up again, as spike's PP are higher than Defog's.
To be honest, I'm surprised there isn't a Smogon Analysis on either Roserade or Rotom-Wash, as their potential in the tier is incredible.
