Kyurem’s Combat Power might seem intimidating. However, with a low bulk stat, high-level counters can whittle it down. Your main aim in these raids should be to attack as often as you can while the Mega Pokemon is using its Fast moves and then dodge its Charged moves.

If Kyurem manages to land its Charged moves, there is a high possibility of your Pokemon getting knocked out. After a couple of moves, you will see a pattern in its attacks. Observe and dodge as many Charged attacks as you can.

Kyurem can use the following moves:

• Fast moves: Dragon Breath and Steel Wing
• Charged moves: Draco Meteor, Blizzard, Dragon Claw, and Glaciate

After you dodge Kyurem’s Charged moves, you can use some of the aforementioned counters to do a lot of damage to it with Charged attacks like Focus Blast, Dragon Claw, Outrage, Rock Slide, and Heavy Slam.

You might not be able to beat the foe on your first attempt. So, keep a healthy stack of healing items to quickly revive your fainted Pokemon. This way, you can raid it with the same party multiple times in quick succession.
