It doesn't even remotely look like the other two While Giritina did kinda look like Palkia and Diagla
Rayquaza was as similar to Kyogre and Groudon as Kyurem is to Zekrom and Reshiram. So that doesn't really matter at all.
And it's unfair to say Suicune since there wasn't a third bird to match Ho-Oh and Lugia.
:F
??????????????
basically what is being said here is that there is no mascot pattern and people need to stop acting like there is one
Rayquaza was the Ziz in Hebrew mythology, while Kyogre was The Leviathan and Groudon is the Behemoth. Hebrew mythology was also used for the other legendaries in R/S/E (Regirock/Registeel/Regice). So yeah, they are a "group", the mascot pattern was present, because Rayquaza filled the hole set by the previous two. Sky, Water, Land.

So if they do pick Kyurem, it would be stupid, I mean at least Rayquaza looked like Groudon and Kyogre and like how they could be a trio despite Rayquaza not having to do with Groudon's and Kyogre's backstory. Kyurem doesn't even have the same shape tail, let alone look anything more then a fossil stuck in the side of a mountain while the other two actually look like dragons.
In Taoism there is Yin, Yang and Wuji. Yin and Yang represent opposites, while Wuji is the absence of both. This is even referenced in Kyurem's typing - Dragon/Ice. The cold, the absence of heat, which Electric and Fire produce.

It's also theorized that Kyurem was the corpse that was left behind when Rehisram and Zekrom split, but the game does not give any explanation pertaining to him yet.
