I'm not sure about that. Metal bending requires manipulating the small fragments of earth. Whereas Kyoshi in bending terms is more good at wielding a hammer, but not the best at fine motor skills. This is even why she uses fans and seemed incompetent at bending at the start of her novel.
And what I've just described is kyoshis weak point.
Now it's entirely possible that an author interprets this differently to me, but as it stands, I'm not tempted to believe kyoshi is able.
And for the record Aang is canonically unable to do so, despite trying (we have Tophs testimony for this)
Seconding this, IIRC Kyoshi is basically a gorilla. She's all power little accuracy to the point that she accidentally murdered that king when she split the islands. Enough raw power to move an entire island, would probably struggle to stack pebbles.

Ahh true true. I think metalbending would still be the best because Kyoshi wouldn't be able to counterbend it.
They both still get blood bent without the Avatar State tho
