• Water Attacker:Water Gun Hydro Pump

⚔️ Raids

Suicune is a largely defensive legendary Pokémon. Though for Suicune the shadow bonus comes in clutch. While it is true that even the attack boosted Shadow Suicune won't win any awards for being an exceptional Water-type raid attacker, it can still do just enough damage to help you out in a pinch.

This is thanks in part to Suicune after quite a many years finally having a Water-type fast attack to call its own in Water Gun, which, when paired with Hydro Pump, can at least do decent damage.

🔵 Great League

If we were speaking strictly in terms of total stat product, Shadow Suicune would be an amazing Pokémon. Suicune’s total stats reach close to or even higher than some of the best Pokémon in the Great League meta. Yet despite this, Suicune has some glaring issues that keep it down.

For starters, Suicune, as a pure Water-type Pokémon, is rather predictable and easy to play against. Its moveset is equally limiting, having only a reliable moveset of Water and Ice-type attacks. As such, Suicune is quite inflexible and struggles when faced with a wide host of Pokémon that resists its attacks. And the shadow bonus only works as a further problem for Suicune as its only strength lies in its bulk.

🟡 Ultra League

Just about everything said about Shadow Suicune in the Great League applies here too. Except, the disparity between the regular and shadow forms of Suicune is even larger here. Regular Suicune can at least be pretty bulky in the league, Shadow Suicune loses some of that too.

🟣 Master League

Arguably Suicune’s best performance in any league owing to its bulk. But it’s still not particularly impressive. The top meta in the Master League have way higher stats and you have better options if you’re in the need for a Water-type such as Kyogre, or Palkia. Suicune can only really deal with a few Pokémon it has a pure type advantage against thanks to its moves. And even then, once again the shadow bonus hinders, rather than helps Suicune, since it’d be much happier with the bulk.
