So I checked out a server called PokeBattle and saw this:
KYUREM-WHITE IS OU.
wait what

At first glance, Kyurem-W has almost no reason to be OU: look at that gigantic base 170 Special Attack. Then add Draco Meteor in the equation and an okayish special movepool, and you get what it looks like an insane threat in Uberz. However, if you care to look deeper, you will realize that Kyurem-W has many shared flaws with its brother, Kyurem-B: a weakness to Stealth Rock, very vulnerable to Bullet Punch and Mach Punch (in fact, Kyurem-W has even more trouble taking priority attacks than its bro thanks to its lower physical defense), and a scarce movepool limited to about 6 special moves (Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Fusion Flare, Ice Beam, Earth Power and Hidden Power Electric). While Kyurem-B can OHKO many fairy-types with Iron Head, the same can't be said about Kyurem-W since Fairy-type Pokemon are strong specially defensive-wise, so they can usually tank a Choice Specs Ice Beam and OHKO back.
