Kyurem returns for a limited time in Pokémon Go, so you'll need to act fast to catch him before he disappears. It is a Legendary Dragon and Ice-type Pokémon that you can encounter in five-star raids, but you will need the help of other Pokémon trainers to defeat it. Also, when battling Kyurem, be sure to bring the best Pokémon with you. In this guide, we'll break down all of Kyurem's weaknesses and the best Pokémon to use against it in Pokémon Go.
All the weak points of Kyurem
Kyurem is a Dragon and Ice type Pokémon. It will be weak to Dragon, Fairy, Fighting, Rock, and Steel-type moves, but is resistant to Electric, Grass, and Water-type attacks. We highly recommend using Fairy, Rock, and Steel-types against Kyurem.
The best Pokémon against Kyurem
The best Pokémon to use against Kyurem are Metagross, Zacian, and Lucario.
Metagross is a Steel and Psychic-type Pokémon. It has heavy defenses to withstand Kyurem's heavy attacks, but is also packed with plenty of attack power to help reduce this Legendary Pokémon. The best moveset to teach Metagross is the fast moving bullet strike and the earthquake and meteor slurry charged moves.
Then we have Zacian, the legendary Fairy-type Pokémon. It is an ideal choice for defeating Kyurem and will be even more useful in the future when the Steel and Fairy-type version of this Pokémon is available. The best move set to teach Zacian is the quick move growl, and the charged moves play a rough and wild charge.
The last Pokémon we will recommend is Lucario, the Steel and Fighting-type Pokémon. Although it is a Fighting-type, it has the defenses of a Steel-type to make it difficult to defeat. The best moveset to teach Lucario is the fast move counter and charged moves, the aura sphere, and close combat.
You will need a full team of six Pokémon to use against Kyurem. These are some other choices you can use to build your list.
- Competition durr
- Dialga
- excadrill
- Garchomp
- gardevoir
- machamp
- Ramps
- Rhyperior
- Terracion
- Zekrom
After defeating Kyurem, you will have the opportunity to capture him. There is a possibility that he may be a polished version.
