Kyurem's excellent matchups against common Pokemon like Gliscor, Raging Bolt, and Alomomola, while having fantastic coverage with Earth Power that lets it hit Ice-resistant foes like Iron Moth and Heatran makes it incredibly annoying to switch into. Substitute lets it take advantage of Pokemon that cannot heavily damage it, like Toxapex and Rotom-W, as well as Pokemon it scares out like Gliscor and Gastrodon while also making itself safer against revenge killers like Iron Valiant and Mega Lopunny, forcing them to get rid of its Substitute before being able to threaten it out. Tera Water and Tera Fairy are Kyurem's main Tera types, as these let it change its defensive matchups behind Substitute making it harder for the likes of Mega Scizor, Ferrothorn, and Garganacl to remove its Substitute. Tera Ground is another alternative to give Kyurem STAB on Earth Power, notably dealing more damage against Steel-types that aren't weak to Ground, like Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn. The EV Spread lets Kyurem hit 405 HP, meaning that its Substitute takes two Seismic Toss to remove. Teammates that struggle with the Flying-, Water-, and Ground-types that Kyurem preys on like Ogerpon-W, Gliscor, and Tapu Koko make for excellent teammates, as they appreciate its ability to deal with the Pokemon they can't. Resilient defensive partners like Alomomola, Clefable, and Galarian Slowking help switch into revenge killers like Iron Boulder and Zamazenta that force Kyurem out. Additionally, Alomomola and Galarian Slowking can also help pivot in Kyurem, something it appreciates.

With Dragon Dance, good bulk that allows it to set up on the likes Landorus-T and Zapdos, and incredibly strong STAB moves thanks to Loaded Dice, Kyurem is an extremely scary sweeper. Tera Blast Ground lets it beat Steel-types that would normally be an answer to Kyurem, like Iron Crown and Heatran. Choice Scarf users and other fast Pokemon like Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Hawlucha greatly appreciate Kyurem's breaking prowess, as they can sweep teams much more easily after it has wreaked havoc on the opposing team. Dual screens support from teammates like Tapu Koko and Grimmsnarl are also incredible alongside Kyurem, giving it more opportunites to set up as well as hindering revenge killing attemps from the likes of Mega Medicham and Mega Scizor. Bulky Water-types like Slowbro and Alomomola are able to withstand Kyurem's attacks even after a boost, making wallbreakers like Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant good teammates, as they can use them for opportunities to switch in, or weaken them down so Kyurem can take them out. Consistent entry hazard removal is also much appreciated thanks to its weakness to hazards, making partners like Great Tusk and Landorus-T fantastic.

Kyurem is a wallbreaker that can be very annoying to deal with. Its got an excellent offensive match-up into alot of Pokemon, notably it is able to hit Raging Bolt, Gliscor, and Alomomola for super effective damage with Freeze-Dry, and it can hit Steel- and Fire-types that resist Ice like Heatran, Iron Moth, and Iron Crown with Earth Power. i think u can merge these sentences; would make more sense to introduce its qualities first before just saying "it is an Annoying Wallbreaker". think smth like "Kyurem's excellent matchups against common Pokemon like x, y and z... [insert blurb about good coverage with ep]..." should be fine. Substitute lets it take advantage of Pokemon which cant heavily damage it like Toxapex and Rotom-W, mention being able to take advantage of forced switches vs glisc and similar mons too while also making itself safer against revenge killers like Iron Valiant & Mega Lopunny, forcing them to get rid of its Substitute before forcing it out. Tera Water & Fairy are Kyurems main Tera Types, as it lets it change its defensive matchups behind Substitute making it harder for the likes of Mega Scizor, Ferrothorn, or Garganacl to remove its Substitute. Tera Ground is another alternative to give it STAB on both of its attacking moves. mention what targets this is important vs, like msciz spdef ferro etc The EV Spread lets Kyurem hit 405 HP, meaning that its Substitutes take two Seismic Tosses to remove. Teammates that struggle with the Flying, Water, and Ground-types that Kyurem preys on, like Ogerpon, Gliscor, and Tapu Koko make for excellent teammates, as they appreciate its ability to deal with the Pokemon they cant. Resilient defensive partners like Alomomola, Clefable, and Slowking-G help switch into revenge killers like Iron Boulder & Zamazenta that force Kyurem out.

Kyurem is a very threatening sweeper. With Loaded Dice boosting Scale Shot & Icicle Spear to be incredibly strong STAB moves, and its ability to boost its offenses with Dragon Dance, allowing it to outspeed the likes of Darkrai, Tapu Koko, and Mega Lopunny, it's a force to be reckoned with. merge this with the first sentence + add mons that it can set up on too. i'd also remove the dex info-ish parts w dd "boosting its offenses" Tera Ground and Tera Blast lets it beat Steel-types that would normally be an answer to it, like Iron Crown and Heatran. An Adamant nature is used to bolster its Attack further, as it as multiple means of boosting its Speed. Scarfers and fast Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Hawlucha, and Tapu Lele greatly appreciate Kyurems breaking prowess, as they can sweep teams much easier after its wrecked havoc on the opposing team. this could stand to be more specific. go in depth on what mons hard wall kyurem and mention how ival / lele can pressure them Kyurem is best teamed up with other fast-paced sweepers that can help it break through its checks, like Iron Boulder, Urshifu-RS, and Tapu Lele. this feels redundant w the last point; you can just merge info from this with the previous sentence. Consistent hazard removal is also much appreciated thanks to its weakness to hazards, making partners like Great Tusk and Landorus-T fantastic.

i'd mention screens support too bc kyurem is stupid fat and can just outright disregard priority / revenge killing attempts from stuff like zama and msciz

into Substitute
forgot a period between into and Substitute here
Its good bulk and ability to set up on the likes of Landorus-T or Zapdos.
i think you meant to say something else here, like "...thanks to its good bulk and ability to set up on the likes of Landorus-T and Zapdos" (continuing off from the last sentence)
out.Consistent
space

should be good for gp!

Kyurem's excellent matchups into against common Pokemon like Gliscor, Raging Bolt, and Alomomola, while having fantastic coverage with Earth Power that lets it hit Ice-type resists Ice-resistant foes like Iron Moth and Heatran makes it incredibly annoying to switch into. Substitute lets it take advantage of Pokemon which cant that cannot heavily damage it, (AC) technically could also remove the comma after this instead of adding this one, but personally think this long sentence needs a comma like Toxapex and Rotom-W, and subbing up on as well as Pokemon it scares out like Gliscor and Gastrodon, (RC) while also making itself safer against revenge killers like Iron Valiant & and Mega Lopunny, forcing them to get rid of its Substitute before forcing being able to threaten force -> threaten to avoid repetition, also changed tense or whatever its called it out. Tera Water & Fairy and Tera Fairy are Kyurem'(apostrophe)s main Tera types, as it lets these let it change its defensive matchups behind Substitute making it harder for the likes of Mega Scizor, Ferrothorn, or and Garganacl to remove its Substitute. Tera Ground is another alternative to give it Kyurem it refers to tera ground rn STAB on both of its attacking moves Earth Power confusing = bad, notably dealing more damage against Steel-types that aren'(apostrophe)t weak to Ground, like Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn. The EV Spread lets Kyurem hit 405 HP, meaning that its Substitutes takes two Seismic Tosses to remove. Teammates that struggle with the Flying-(AH), Water-(AH), and Ground-types that Kyurem preys on, (RC) like Ogerpon-W i assume, Gliscor, and Tapu Koko make for excellent teammates, as they appreciate its ability to deal with the Pokemon they can'(apostrophe)t. Resilient defensive partners like Alomomola, Clefable, and Slowking-G Galarian Slowking help switch into revenge killers like Iron Boulder & and Zamazenta that force Kyurem out.

With Dragon Dance, good bulk that allows it to set up on the likes Landorus-T and Zapdos, and incredibly strong STAB moves thanks to Loaded Dice, Kyurem is an extremely scary sweeper. rearranged sentence, and a bit of minor wording nitpicks (incredibly -> extremely to avoid repetition) Tera Ground and Tera Blast Tera Blast Ground lets it beat Steel-types that would normally be an answer to it Kyurem, like Iron Crown and Heatran.
