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

Question

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)

Comments

In what context? Is this for Ubers, in-game, or some custom format?

---

its for Gen 7, I'm preparing to Battle a friend! sorry should've made that clear

man I always forget this site is mostly centered around Showdown

but yeah this is in game

Answer 1

Kyurem-Black
Pros
- 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-White
Pros
- 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.

alright thank you! I think I'll go for Kyerum-white with his better ice moves, I've already got water coverage on a different Mon

No problem! Good luck :)

---

I feel like it should be noted, with White's insane Sp Atk, using Shadow Ball for coverage is a terrifying threat (lowering your opponent's defenses from Kyu's attacks is amazing.) Also, Kyu-Black is inferior yet again because its ghost coverage is Shadow Claw(way worse)

oh yeah! i saw that he had that oh his moveset that'd be perfect for fighting the Necrozmas i usually batlle!
