Key Battle Tips

01

Turboblaze makes Black Kyurem immune to Incineroar’s Intimidate — Fusion Bolt fires at full power even against Intimidate leads.

02

White Kyurem paired with Hail (Abomasnow / Snow Warning) makes Blizzard never miss and hits both opponents simultaneously.

03

Black Kyurem has a 4× Fairy weakness. Against Zacian, verify your Tera or consider positioning before committing to an attack.

04

Fusion Flare doubles in power if Thunder (Fusion Bolt) was used the same turn — a key dual-Kyurem combo worth building around.

Type Weaknesses

Kyurem base (Dragon/Ice) weaknesses:

* Black Kyurem replaces Ice weakness with Electric weakness (Dragon/Electric); White Kyurem keeps Dragon/Ice structure. Tera can shift weaknesses significantly.
