In the Pokémon Go metagame, the legendary water Pokémon Suicune from the second generation of the game plays a minor role, but those who want to add the Pokémon to their collection can rarely avoid a raid battle against Suicune. We have an up-to-date counter guide for you.

Update from January 20, 2021: Every now and then, select Legendarys return to Pokémon Go’s Raids, and so it is with the Legendary Beast Suicune, who will appear along with Raikou and Entei in late January 2021 and early February 2021. However, while Raikou and Entei are still performing well in the Pokémon Go metagame today, Suicune has never really made much of a difference as a counter to other Mega Monsters. But one or the other among the trainers of Pokémon Go may still want to add Suicune to his collection – possibly as a Shiny! Suicune will appear in level 5 Raid battles from February 4, 2021, starting at 10:00 a.m. until February 9, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. We have omitted Crypto Pokémon from the counter recommendations.

By the way, if you have defeated Suicune – and perhaps lucked out so that it spawns as a Shiny – then it has a perfect IV-100% at level 20 when it reaches the CP value of 1,704. If Suicune is boosted to level 25 in rainy weather, it will have 2,130 CP for a perfect IV-100%. We wish you the best of luck!

Original news from October 2, 2017: Entei goes, Suicune comes – fire is followed by water. In Pokémon GO (buy now ), ambitious trainers can now hunt for the legendary Johto Pokékom Suicune. So that you are well prepared for the battle, we have summarized the most important tips for you below, based on the guide from pokemongohub.net.

General information about fighting Suicune

• Suicune is a pure water Pokémon and has a boss CP of 34,471. It can be caught with a maximum CP of 1,613 points.
• You can’t defeat Suicune solo – at least six to seven trainers are needed to win the battle.
• Suicune has the following attacks: special sensor (psycho), hydro pump (water), power reserve, bubble jet (water) and aqua wave (water).

Counterattack against Suicune

• Because Suicune is a Water Pokémon, you’ll fare best with Plant or Electric-type counter monsters:
• Raikou with Thunder Shock, Surge, and Thunder Lightning.
• Zapdos with Charge Beam and Thunder Bolt
• Blitza with Thunder Shock and Thunder Bolt
• Kokowei with Confusion and Solar Beam
• Bisaflor with razor blade and solar beam
• Giflor with razor blade and solar beam
• Dragoran with dragon rod and rage attack

In the fight against Suicine, rely mainly on Pokémon of the type Type and those that have the Solar Beam attack. According to pokemongohub.net, a combination of Zabdos, Bisaflor and Kokowei is currently proving to be particularly promising. An alternative second team is a combination of Tangela, Ampharos, Sarzenia and Lanturn. Especially the latter is suitable as a reinforcement, because it has good stamina values and can access electric attacks. Leave ground Pokémon like Tyranitar and Geowaz, which have proven to be particularly useful with the legendary bird Pokémon, at home – they quickly bite the dust against Suicune’s water attacks.

Catch rates for Suicune

A detailed table with the catch rates for Suicune can be found at pokemongohub.net. However, the most important info is as follows:

• As always, you can influence your chance of a catch after the raid battle via various factors. In addition to the type of throw (curve and rating), the berries used and the medal with which you completed the raid play a role.
• Without a medal in the boss fight, your chances of catching Suicune range from 1.67 percent (without a berry with a normal throw) to 12.34 percent (with a golden berry and a perfect throw).
• With a bronze medal, those chances range from 1.84 to 13.58 percent, with silver from 1.84 to 14.72 percent, and with gold from 2.17 to 15.85 percent.

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
