Best Shadow Suicune Raid Counters In Pokemon GO: Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

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.
