What are the Pros and Cons of each Kyerum (besides the original)?

Apr. 13, 2024



i’m building a team that features multiple Legendaries, and I want to know which form of Kyreum would be better. (this team is in Gen 7 BTW)

Kyurem-BlackPros- Base 170 Attack- Strong physical moves like Fusion Bolt and Outrage

Cons- Zero good Ice STAB – Freeze Shock is unreliable unless you use a Z-Crystal- Must use its lower Special Attack to have a workable moveset

Kyurem-WhitePros- Base 170 Special Attack- Much better movepool than KyuB; Ice Beam, Draco Meteor, and Fusion Flare are all options- Doesn’t need to rely on inconsistent Ice STAB

Cons- Hard walled by Blissey- Cannot break through Water types like KyuB can

There’s a reason KyuW is Ubers and KyuB is OU – the former is more flexible and proves to be a more potent threat. Unless you know your friend is bringing Blissey and/or bulky Water types, I would recommend using Kyurem-White. Its disadvantages are nowhere near as apparent as Kyurem-Black’s are.
