>>17785391I still feel like Kyurem-B is hideously underrated. It kills defensive play. If Gen VI hadn't come out in October, it would've gotten another suspect test. Right now, it's the boundary between being balanced and broken as a wallbreaker. It doesn't need weather to reach its full power, it hits hard with both Physical and Special attacks, it ignores defensive abilities, it has reliable recovery, and is an absolute nightmare to try to switch into. Sure, it has several weaknesses, but 125/100/90 defenses on a (primarily) offensive 'mon are disgustingly good.
Running KyuB is almost like having two Megas on your team, except better because Ice Kyube can hold an item. And that's only going to become more apparent as time goes on.
>>17785724Umbreon was a poor cleric in Gen V. Sylveon's typing is undebatably better for such a role, in addition to its actual offensive presence. I mean, that is something that it has over Mandibuzz, but you lose things like Knock Off and Defog.
