Ah, Kyurem. The final member of the Tao Trio, languishing in the depths of BL as its brothers fight on in Ubers. Looking at Kyurem’s stats, it’s not exactly clear why; these stats are absolutely on par with those of the many Uber legendaries.Base 130 attacking statsstand out in particular. On top of this,Dragon and Ice are great offensive types, if together rather redundant.

So, you ask again,why?

Defensively,Ice typing is a severe liability, leaving Kyurem extremely vulnerable toentry hazards and common attacks. This cannot be stressed enough: Kyurem hates entry hazards of all kinds, which makesRapid Spin supportalmost compulsory.

Venomoth hasnever been a top threat; traditionally, the highest praise one could grant it was"not as bad as those other bad Bug-types.“Outshining the likes of Butterfree, Beautifly, and Dustox could hardly be called a talent, and Venomoth’sdecidedly mediocre stats and typingleft it as a forgettable Pokemon despite itsimpressive movepool and abilities.
