Strategy Overview
-
Suicune serves as an excellent bulky support Pokemon that is capable of providing a reliable form of speed control consistently.
-
Its solid bulk and only two weaknesses allow Suicune to tank a wide range of attacks and make it an excellent switch-in to Heatran, Volcarona, Tapu Fini, rain teams, and sand teams.
-
Suicune further sets itself apart from other bulky Water-types by possessing valuable support options such as Snarl, Tailwind, and Roar. Combined with its excellent bulk, it can apply these moves consistently throughout the battle.
-
The abundance of Z-Moves and Tapu Koko makes using Suicune harder, as there are now much easier ways to KO it, and as such, they need to be played around carefully.
-
Tapu Fini and Milotic give Suicune competition in the bulky Water-type role, as they possess somewhat similar levels of bulk and have far more useful abilities.
