Suicune Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
For the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon meta, At 580 BST, Suicune is built different. We rank it B-Tier. As a Legendary Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a support. Scald with Leftovers is the standard set.
Suicune is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Suicune appears at level 60. Prerequisite: LIMITED; Entei & Raikou in party. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Raikou (Electric) and Venusaur (Grass) when using Suicune. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Suicune has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Pressure increases the PP cost of moves targetting the Pokémon by one. That's the one you want on Suicune. Inner Focus is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Suicune is a special attacker with base 90 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 85 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the support role.
Game Availability
Since Gold & Silver, Suicune has appeared in 17 games. Legendary Pokemon like Suicune are usually found through story events or special post-game areas rather than random encounters.
