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 PumpBest
  • 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.
