Master League	A	#13 / 406	92.7	Dragon Tail · Freeze Shock · Fusion Bolt Black and White Kyurem have declined since the introduction of Zacian, but remain powerful picks. They capitalize on their amazing stats, solid pacing, and powerful signature attacks. Black Kyurem is generally the more flexible of the two but has fewer domineering matchups.	L50 · 15/15/15
