Kyurem

Reshiram and Zekrom are noted for being among the strongest and most useful Legendary Pokemon in raids given their types. But how about Kyurem? Kyurem basically has nothing to its name. It's a sub-par Dragon attacker, and lacks an Ice Type fast move which would have made it a very viable Ice attacker. As it sits, it's yet another worthless legendary. No wonder it wants to absorb its brothers!

As of December 2022, Kyurem received its signature move, Glaciate. Glaciate is an extremely powerful Charged Attack, and gives Kyurem comparable DPS to many other top (non-Shadow) Dragon-type Pokemon when it is facing against a boss weak to both its Fast and Charged Attacks. However, Kyurem's lack of an Ice-type Fast Attack still greatly cripples this move's potential. Nonetheless, Kyurem is at least a viable raid attacking choice now, though it still remains niche at best.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Dragon Breath and Glaciate* is actually Kyurem's highest DPS option against Dragon-type Pokemon if they are weak to both of its moves.
• Dragon Breath and Draco Meteor make for Kyurem's best same-type STAB moveset
• Blizzard can also work Vs. Dragon Types, but it is severely outclassed by Glaciate
• Dragon Claw can make it easier to dodge, but the damage-loss is substantial
• Steel Wing is basically worthless.

Dragon Breath provides immense energy gains and good damage. Steel Wing is useless, and should be TMed away as soon as possible.

Glaciate is what defines Kyurem - is it a low cost Ice-type move with moderate damage and a guaranteed Attack debuff. When combined with Dragon Breath's high energy gains, Kyurem can rapidly spam Glaciate after Glaciate, quickly withering away at its enemies's offensive prowess. Dragon Claw is a reliable, mid-cost Dragon-type attack, and is a non-committal option to get around Fire- and Water-type opponents. Draco Meteor is an explosive option that punishes opponents for not shielding; this pairs incredibly well with Glaciate's ability to strongly punish those who shield. Blizzard is too expensive for any real use.
