**To use Kyurem effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Dragon/Ice type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Kyurem appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Kyurem fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Pressure, Choice Scarf and Timid 2/0/0/32/0/32. Its frequent moves include Freeze-Dry, Draco Meteor, Earth Power, Blizzard, Flash Cannon, and Protect. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Kyurem has important weaknesses to dragon 2x, fairy 2x, fighting 2x, rock 2x, steel 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Ninetales-Alola, Incineroar, Annihilape, Clefable, and Primarina appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
