Suicune Trio Raid Guide

Nothing quite compares to Mega Sceptile. With its double-resistance to Water and tremendous damage output, this is the Mega 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 drop very quickly at times.

While not on a par with Mega Sceptile most of the time, Mega Manectric has the advantage of being able come 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 can definitely get the job done if played to its strengths.

The runner-up Grass Type Mega Evolution, Mega Venusaur has the advantage of not being as weak 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 is a good option, but definitely not the best.

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. 

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.

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

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

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

While not quite as 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 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 in strong performance.

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

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, it really, really doesn't want to fight Ice Type movesets.

A strong attacker with great presence, but pretty frail.
