Overview

Suicune is the member of its trio with the most bulk, which can definitely make it a challenge to raid for an unprepared team. Its mono-Water typing leaves it weak only to Grass and Electric, butfortunatelythese are both titanic types offensively speaking. While the potential challenge is undeniable, Suicune shouldn't pose much of a challenge for any prepared trainers.

Approach

Team composition

  • Grass and Electric are Suicune's only weaknesses.
    • Grass tends to pull ahead thanks to the sheer power of Mega Sceptile and Kartana as well as their Water resistance, but it falls offreally quicklyafter the two big-names, and many of them fear Suicune's Ice Type moves.
    • Electric Types tend to work regardless of the moveset, and tends to have a bit more wiggle room for powerful options beyond the absolute top counters.

Dodging

  • Most of Suicune's Charged Moves are on the more difficult side when it comes to dodging. The biggest stand-out for dodging is Ice Beam, which is pretty threatening to most of the top Grass Types.

Best Raid Boss Counters

Supreme Mega Evolution Counters

Mega Sceptile
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Bullet SeedFrenzy PlantBest

Nothing quite compares to Mega Sceptile. With its double-resistance to Water andtremendousdamage output, this istheMega Evolution for taking down Suicune. The one issue is the fact that it has a double-weakness to Ice Beam and Ice Fang, meaning it's going to dropveryquickly at times.

Mega Manectric
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Thunder FangWild ChargeBest

While not on a par with Mega Sceptile most of the time, Mega Manectric has the advantage of being ablecome in regardless of the moveset while also holding the gold-medal for boosting Electric Types on the field. It won't always be the best choice, but it candefinitelyget the job done if played to its strengths.

Good Mega Evolution Counters

Mega Venusaur
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Vine WhipFrenzy PlantBest

The runner-up Grass Type Mega Evolution, Mega Venusaur has the advantage of not beingasweak to Suicune's Ice Type movesets while still boosting Kartana while on the field. However, it also doesn't tank Water Type moves quite as well, so in general it will tend to have substantially lower performance. It's also weak to Extrasensory, meaning there's at least a 2/3 chance that Mega Venusaur will end up facing down a move that it's weak to.

Despite all of these issues, it isa good option, but definitely not the best.

Mega Ampharos
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Volt SwitchZap CannonBest

Mega Ampharos is the silver-medal of Electric Type Mega Evolutions, but it actually has more in common with the Grass counters than it does with Mega Manectric. It's weak to Ice and resists Water, so it's going to be far more matchup-reliant than its contemporary.

Mega Rayquaza
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Dragon TailDragon AscentBest

It doesn't boost Electric or Grass Types while on the field, but it has great neutral performance that can definitely cause pain to Suicune. Just keep it the heck away from Ice Type movesets.

Supreme Counters

Kartana

Razor LeafLeaf BladeBest

Outside of Mega Sceptile, nothing can quite compare to Kartana. This monsterdecimatesSuicune, and doesn't fear anything that Suicunecan use thanks toa Steel sub-typing. Honestly, there really isn't a situation where Kartana isn't the optimal counter.

Shadow Electivire
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Thunder ShockWild ChargeBest

One of the best Electric Types for this raid, Shadow Electivire will frySuicune if given the chance, but it's a bit frail.

Shadow Raikou
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Thunder ShockWild ChargeBest

A bit bulkier than Shadow Electivire but with higher DPS, Shadow Raikou definitely is one of the top Electric counters for this raid to be certain.

Xurkitree
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Thunder ShockDischargeBest

Xurkitree sits sort of between Shadow Raikou and Shadow Electivire, which is veryimpressive for a non-Shadow Pokemon!

Good Counters

Shadow Magnezone
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
SparkWild ChargeBest

While notquiteas strong as the big-three listed above, Shadow Magnezone has the advantage of resisting Extrasensory and Suicune's Ice Type moves. This alone gives it a strong niche against what is arguably Suicune's strongest Charged Move, and makes it very much worthwhile.

Zekrom
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Charge BeamFusion BoltBest

Zekrom shares a lot in common with most Ice Types thanks to its resistance to Water Type moves and its weakness to Ice Type moves. It's an overall great Pokemon that can put instrongperformance.

Shadow Zapdos
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Thunder ShockThunderboltBest

A great Electric Type attacker, but it doesn't care for Ice Type movesets.

Shaymin (Sky Forme)
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Magical LeafGrass KnotBest

You have no idea how great if feels to actually include Shaymin - Sky Forme on one of these without having to list Hidden Power. Giving it Magical Leaf changed this Pokemon entirely, and opened it up to actually become a powerful Grass Type attacker. However, itreally, reallydoesn't want to fight Ice Type movesets.

Shadow Sceptile
Fast MoveCharge MoveRating
Bullet SeedFrenzy PlantBest

A strong attacker with great presence, but pretty frail.
