The best offensive PvE moveset for Kyurem in GO is Dragon Breath as the Fast move, along with Glaciate and Draco Meteor as the Charged moves.

You can choose to use Dragon Breath and Glaciate or Draco Meteor. Since both match the elemental typing of Kyurem, you will enjoy the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) with this moveset.

When it comes to PvE battles, Kyurem cannot be left in Pokemon Gyms as a Gym defender. This is because Niantic does not like the idea of Legendary Pocket Monsters being used as Gym defenders. So, you do not need to build a Kyurem for the purpose of Gym Defense in this game.

Is Kyurem any good in Pokemon GO?

Kyurem, with Glaciate, is a formidable force to reckon with on the battlefield. Glaciate has the potential to impose Attack debuffs on its enemies. With the reduced offensive effectiveness and spammy Dragon Claw pressure, Kyurem can be a menace to deal with for your opponents.
