The set so good it made me want to post something.
Gen 9 Ubers/AG (mostly Ubers but it can work in AG too with good support. Might even be better at AG now that I think about it, not sure tho, I am pretty washed).
Gambcle (Kyurem-Black) @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Teravolt
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Icicle Spear
- Scale Shot / Fusion Bolt
- Tera Blast [Fire]

Self-explanatory set. Dragon Dance gives you much needed boosts to your attack and speed, while Icicle Spear is a powerful STAB move that is guaranteed to do at least 100 damage due to the Dice.
Scale Shot is most of the same, but it boosts your Speed too, so use it when you think its necessary based on your opponent's remaining team members. Fusion Bolt is an alternative in case your team sucks against water types.
Fire Tera Blast is the fun part, it allows you to not get walled by Steel types like Kyurem-Black usually does, because it can't learn Earthquake for some reason. This surprise move can take down popular Steel threats like Zacian-C (when your attack is boosted), while also making you immune to burns and resist Behemoth Blade and and Fairy attack. These three attacks give you some near unresistable offensive coverage, where very few mons resist all attacks. The multi-hit moves also break Focus Sashes.
This set aprecciates support from Screens and Webs, mainly Ribombee. You can also adjust the EV spread and Nature to be more tanky if you rely on webs, just make sure you're still reaching specific benchmarks with a +1 or +2 speed boost.

Have fun using it!

Tera Fire is better than Tera Ground because it hits Steels as well as granting you burn immunity and a Fairy/Steel resistance. The only relevant Fire-type in both is Ho-Oh, which Tera Blast doesn't affect anyway and you're clicking Icicle Spear/Fusion Bolt versus. Fusion Bolt is also a good alternative to Scale Shot for hitting Water-types like Kyogre and Arceus-Water as Scale Shot doesn't cover anything rest of the moves don't hit anyway. Jolly Nature is also preferred for outspeeding Zacian-C after a single Dragon Dance.
I wal literally about to change the tera type but I had to leave, but you popped up earlier ig, its fine. I dont use Fusion Bolt because my Kyurem team has plenty of water answers already so I dont feel like its needed, and Scale Shot is good for doing damage while boosting speed, but I will add FB as an option. Better now? Mb I dont play AG as much as I used to previously.

Hyper-Offensive Kyurem-Black Set

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

This Kyurem moveset utilizes Kyurem-Black's multi-hitting move pool to hit hard and fast.

I use Loaded Dice to get the max output of hits out of both Icicle Spear and Scale Shot. The defense decrease from Scale Shot shouldn't be a huge problem due to its incredible speed after just a couple of hits. Regardless, you should swap this Pokemon if facing a faster or very defensively bulky 'mon.

Dragon Dance lets it hit even harder- yet, I doubt that it's needed but it would be good as a boost if you have the time to set up. You could replace it with a coverage or hard-hitting move, like Iron Head to stop Fairy and Rock types. Fusion Bolt is another strong move that's a solid choice.

I maxed out the speed and attack EVs of Kyurem-Black as to make it a stronger sweeper. Tera Dragon or Tera Ice is, again, to make its attacks stronger.
