Kyurem-Black @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Teravolt
Tera Type: Electric / Steel / Dragon / Ice
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
-Scale Shot
-Icicle Spear
-Dragon Dance
-Fusion Bolt / Iron Head

This is a gen 9 kyurem set. Kyurem is basically a better Baxcalibur, exept the fact it can't learn ice shard. Scale shot is stab and boosts speed. Icicle Spear is stab and is powerful with loaded dice. Dragon dance to set up for sweep. And tera electric fusion bolt for a strong move that deals with water and resists steel. Alternatively you could use tera steel iron head to take fairy types and resist steel/dragon, but it's not as strong of a move. Tera Ice or Dragon is for stronger stab.

Gen 9 Monotype Mixed Dragon Dance (Dragon)

Kyurem @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly / Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Icicle Spear
- Scale Shot
- Freeze-Dry / Earth Power

A mixed Dragon Dance set Kyurem can use on Dragon teams in Gen 9 Monotype. Baxcalibur is banned from Monotype, so if you want to cope by replacing Baxcalibur with a physical Kyurem, here you go. Dragon Dance is Kyurem's way to boost its Attack and Speed stats so it can hit harder and outspeed opposing Pokemon. Icicle Spear is used for the Ice STAB since it hits 4-5 times since this set uses Loaded Dice as the item. Scale Shot is used for the Dragon STAB since Loaded Dice makes it hit 4-5 times, and it allows Kyurem to boost its speed even further. The last move, while counterproductive with a -Special Attack nature, are used just for dealing with specific Pokemon that will otherwise give Kyurem a hard time. Freeze-Dry is used to OHKO Quagsire to prevent it from ruining Kyurem's day with Unaware. Earth Power can be used instead to 2HKO Archaludon. Since those two moves are literally for those Pokemon, Kyurem doesn't need to compromise its bulk with Hasty/Lonely or Naive/Naugthy Nature. Here are the calcs for Earth Power against Archaludon:

0- SpA Kyurem Earth Power vs. 200 HP / 44 SpD Archaludon: 194-230 (52.2 - 61.9%) -- 98.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

0- SpA Kyurem Earth Power vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Archaludon: 208-246 (54.3 - 64.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Jolly Nature is used to give Kyurem as much speed as possible, but since this set has Dragon Dance and Scale Shot, you could get away with using an Adamant Nature.
