Strategy Overview

Thanks to insane natural bulk, a great support movepool, and solid coverage with only two moves, Suicune acts as a great check to huge metagame threats such as Mega Salamence, Landorus-T, Talonflame, and Terrakion. Suicune doesn't have many downsides, but it is weak to the fairly common Electric-type attacks and its offensive capabilities are far from spectacular.
