[SET COMMENTS]
Kyurem-B's main niche compared to competitors like Mega Garchomp and Ash-Greninja lies in its immensely spammable Glacial Lance, which hits most physical walls for at least neutral damage while also being non-contact to avoid Rocky Helmet and Burning Bulwark. Bolt Strike 2HKOes Fur Coat Water-types like Mega Slowbro and Dondozo in addition to Primordial Sea Registeel. U-turn eases prediction and chips walls like Mega Slowbro. Headlong Rush and V-create both target Steel-types like Zacian-C, with the former OHKOing Primordial Sea Registeel and the latter OHKOing Mega Steelix. Kyurem-B's main weakness is its vulnerability to Stealth Rock, making strong entry hazard removal mandatory. Due to Glacial Lance's excellent neutral coverage and Kyurem-B's raw power, it forces most physical walls to remain healthy to avoid being KOed the next time it attacks, making Strength Sap blockers like Magic Guard Blissey and Magic Bounce users fantastic teammates. Kyurem-B is also very slow for a wallbreaker, making fast Pokemon such as Ash-Greninja and Koraidon desirable. Imposter-proof Kyurem-B with Fur Coat Pokemon such as Arceus-Ghost and Mega Audino.
