Answer 1

Dragon Dance Sweeper set(Gen 9)

Ancalagon the Black(Kyurem-Black)@ Life Orb\ Power Herb\ Muscle Band
EVs: 252 Atk, 126 Def, 130 Spe
Ability: Teravolt
Any Speed-Boosting Nature, besides Timid
Tera Type: Ice\Steel

-Freeze Shock\Ice Fang
-Fusion Bolt\Zen Headbutt\Body Press\Iron Head
-Dragon Dance
-Snowscape

Here's how this set is going to work, all of you. Snowscape is for setup, boosting your Defense and increasing the power of Body Press. Dragon Dance is to boost Attack and Speed, the two stats you need for this to work. Freeze Shock does high damage and goes well with max Attack+STAB and Power Herb, but if you aren't using Power Herb, Ice Fang is a good second option(Both of these hit Dragon types hard. Note that I'm not putting down Icicle Spear since there's the risk of only hitting once and dealing barely any damage, so if you use it, equip Loaded Dice to this set). Fusion Bolt is for any Reshiram\White Kyurem that tries to hit you with a Fusion Flare and forgets that Kyurem doesn't take supereffective damage from Fire Types. Body Press\Iron Head\Zen Headbutt are coverage, for each of it's weaknesses, so it doesn't get walled\nuked(Body Press for Rock\Steel Types, being boosted by Snowscape, Zen Headbutt for Fighting Types, Iron Head for Fairy Types, boosted by Steel Tera Type). Tera Ice is for boosting whatever Ice move you choose, While Tera Steel is for turning most of your weaknesses into resistances, and boosting Iron Head. While this guy doesn't breathe fire, like the real Ancalagon did, he'll leave entire teams reduced to rubble by the time he's done!

Statistics:

252+ Atk Muscle Band Teravolt Tera Steel Kyurem-Black Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Calyrex-Ice: 230-272 (56.9 - 67.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Muscle Band Teravolt Kyurem-Black Freeze Shock vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Koraidon: 486-572 (120.2 - 141.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

(Representing likely Reshiram stat spread, and the +2 is the boost that Fusion Bolt gets from Fusion Flare)
+2 252+ Atk Choice Band Teravolt Kyurem-Black Fusion Bolt vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Reshiram: 219-258 (64.2 - 75.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

52+ Atk Choice Band Teravolt Kyurem-Black Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Tera Fairy Enamorus-Therian: 260-308 (73.8 - 87.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Choice Band Teravolt Kyurem-Black Freeze Shock vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Tera Flying Enamorus-Therian: 680-804 (193.1 - 228.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Comments

Choice Band shoudn't be a option since if you use DDance or Snowscape with it, you'll be stuck only using it. Swap it with Life Orb, maybe.

---

Fixed it. Thanks for the tip!

---

Would Life Orb boost as much as a Choice Band, or is it less?

---

Choice Band's boost is 1.5 and Life Orb is 1.3. Still, its a very good boost. Also you need to update your calcs since they still show Choice Band.

I'm getting to it.

Answer 2

Kyurem-Black @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Teravolt
Tera Type: Electric / Steel / Dragon / Ice
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
-Scale Shot
-Icicle Spear
-Dragon Dance
-Fusion Bolt / Iron Head

This is a gen 9 kyurem set. Kyurem is basically a better Baxcalibur, exept the fact it can't learn ice shard. Scale shot is stab and boosts speed. Icicle Spear is stab and is powerful with loaded dice. Dragon dance to set up for sweep. And tera electric fusion bolt for a strong move that deals with water and resists steel. Alternatively you could use tera steel iron head to take fairy types and resist steel/dragon, but it's not as strong of a move. Tera Ice or Dragon is for stronger stab.

Answer 3

Gen 9 Monotype Mixed Dragon Dance (Dragon)

Kyurem @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly / Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Icicle Spear
- Scale Shot
- Freeze-Dry / Earth Power

A mixed Dragon Dance set Kyurem can use on Dragon teams in Gen 9 Monotype. Baxcalibur is banned from Monotype, so if you want to cope by replacing Baxcalibur with a physical Kyurem, here you go. Dragon Dance is Kyurem's way to boost its Attack and Speed stats so it can hit harder and outspeed opposing Pokemon. Icicle Spear is used for the Ice STAB since it hits 4-5 times since this set uses Loaded Dice as the item. Scale Shot is used for the Dragon STAB since Loaded Dice makes it hit 4-5 times, and it allows Kyurem to boost its speed even further. The last move, while counterproductive with a -Special Attack nature, are used just for dealing with specific Pokemon that will otherwise give Kyurem a hard time. Freeze-Dry is used to OHKO Quagsire to prevent it from ruining Kyurem's day with Unaware. Earth Power can be used instead to 2HKO Archaludon. Since those two moves are literally for those Pokemon, Kyurem doesn't need to compromise its bulk with Hasty/Lonely or Naive/Naugthy Nature. Here are the calcs for Earth Power against Archaludon:

0- SpA Kyurem Earth Power vs. 200 HP / 44 SpD Archaludon: 194-230 (52.2 - 61.9%) -- 98.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

0- SpA Kyurem Earth Power vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Archaludon: 208-246 (54.3 - 64.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Jolly Nature is used to give Kyurem as much speed as possible, but since this set has Dragon Dance and Scale Shot, you could get away with using an Adamant Nature.
