Shadow Suicune

PvE Analysis
Suicune struggled severely in the PvE meta, and Shadow Suicune doesn't gain much. Honestly, it's just not worth raising for raids/gyms despite its fan-favorite status.
Best PvE Offensive Moveset
Snarl + Hydro Pump | Best |
---|
Snarl is Suicune's superior fast move thanks to its improved energy gains.
Extrasensory is right behind it, though it offers different type coverage.
Hidden Power is generally an inferior move. Water is best, while Ground and Rock are next best.
Hydro Pump is optimal for its raw power, while Bubble Beam has more flexibility with 3 bars.
Water Pulse has weak DPS and is laggy to boot.
Scald even more so.
Ice Beam may have given Suicune a tiny breath of life on defense, but since Suicune can't be posted in gyms, it's entirely outclassed. Even if paired with Hidden Power Ice, it's still painfully bad.
