Kyurem in Pokemon Survivor

Kyurem at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Kyurem has 126 HP, 118 speed and a 1.42x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is among the best on the roster, its speed is well above average and its attack is among the best on the roster. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 82.9, which puts it at rank 26 overall, rank 3 of 141 among Unova Pokemon and rank 11 of 67 Dragon-types and 2 of 46 Ice-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Kyurem sits next to Palkia one place above it and Rampardos one place below it.

Kyurem moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Kyurem starts every run with Dragon Rage: draconic flames in a straight line.

The level-up cards can then offer 13 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 5 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Dragon moves: Dragon Rage, Dragon Dance
• Ice moves: Ice Beam, Powder Snow, Hail

Weaknesses and resistances

Kyurem takes extra damage from Fighting (1.6x), Rock (1.6x), Dragon (1.6x), Steel (1.6x), and Fairy (1.6x). It resists Water (0.6x), Electric (0.6x), and Grass (0.6x). The remaining 10 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Kyurem are the ones whose first type is Fighting, Rock, Dragon, Steel, or Fairy. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Dragon or Ice moves do not hit harder just because Kyurem shares the type.

How to get Kyurem

Kyurem is part of the Unova banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (1.5% for Legendary) and then picks one of the 14 Legendary Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Kyurem a 0.11% chance. Every banner has its own pity counter: the 70th pull without a 5-star is always a 5-star, which works out to about 43.5 pulls per 5-star and roughly 609 pulls to land this particular one.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 300 coins, or 900 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

Shiny Kyurem exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Kyurem as an enemy

Kyurem never shows up as a regular enemy because 5-star Pokemon are left out of the enemy cast.

As a legendary it can also be the opponent in a rift. The game picks a rift legendary at random and favors the ones you have not beaten yet, then builds an arena from one of its types: Dragon Sanctuary (Dragon) or Eternal Glacier (Ice). Its attack set is a ground slam, a straight charge, a fan of beams, and a ring of shots. See the rifts guide and the legendaries guide.
