Shadow Entei is leaving the spotlight in May 2024 and is being replaced by Shadow Suicune in Pokemon GO Shadow Raids. Here is how to take down this attack-boosted Legendary dog in Pokemon GO!
Shadow Suicune Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness
Suicune is a pure Water type, which means it is vulnerable to Grass and Electric-type attacks. That said, it has a pretty nasty moveset that allows it to cover some of its weaknesses. Knowing this, we recommend taking Electric-type Pokemon into battle with Suicune because none of its attacks are Super Effective against Electric types.
| Pokemon | Type | Vulnerable To | Strong Against | Resistant To |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Shadow Suicune | Water | Electric Grass | Fire Ground Rock Grass Flying Dragon Fighting Poison Psychic Ghost | Fire Water Ice Steel |
Suicune can take two moves into Shadow Raids (Quick Move and Charged Attack), which can be a mix of Water, Ice, Dark, and Psychic types. As such, you need to avoid taking the types listed above in the “Strong Against” section of the table as they are vulnerable to Suicune’s attacks.
Best Suicune Counters in Pokemon GO
As we said before, Electric-type Pokemon are far superior to any other type when taking on Suicune. That said, some exceedingly strong Grass-type Pokemon have made it into our Top 15 list.
Here are the best Pokemon to take into Pokemon GO Shadow Suicune raids:
| Pokemon | Moves |
|---|---|
 Electivire | Thunder Shock Wild Charge |
 Xurkitree | Thunder Shock Discharge |
 Raikou | Volt Switch Wild Charge |
 Mega Manectric | Thunder Fang Wild Charge |
 Kartana | Razor Leaf Leaf Blade |
 Mega Sceptile | Bullet Seed Frenzy Plant |
 Zekrom | Charge Beam Fusion Bolt |
 Zapdos | Thunder Shock Thunderbolt |
 Magnezone | Volt Switch Wild Charge |
 Luxray | Spark Wild Charge |
 Venusaur | Vine Whip Frenzy Plant |
 Tangrowth | Vine Whip Power Whip |
 Mega Ampharos | Volt Switch Zap Cannon |
 Zarude | Vine Whip Power Whip |
 Torterra | Razor Leaf Frenzy Plant |
Suicune is a little more challenging than Entei, so we recommend players bring a full team of the Pokemon listed above that are at least 3,500 CP or higher. We also recommend a minimum or three to four trainers team up.
