- This set is meant to stall as long as possible, and Suicune's bulk and typing gives it a unique niche in singles play.
Doubles/Triples Sets
Suicune @ Water Gem / Sitrus Berry
252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
nature: Modest
ability: Pressure
- Surf / Hydro Pump
- Tailwind
- Ice Beam / Hidden Power Electric
- Protect / Hidden Power Electric
- Suicune is very useful as a bulky Tailwind user, with its excellent bulk and typing. Surf and Ice Beam allow it to become somewhat of an offensive threat, and Hidden Power Electric hits opposing Water-types for super effective damage. Hydro Pump doesn't do spread damage and its accuracy leaves something to be wanted, but it's far more powerful than Surf.
- Water Gem makes Surf quite powerful, and with rain support, Suicune can be a reasonably powerful attacker. However, a Sitrus Berry greatly increases Suicune's longevity, and as such makes a good item choice as well.
- Icy Wind does usable damage, slows down the opponent until they switch out, and while it doesn't boost your entire team, it is not stopped by Taunt, unlike Tailwind, and makes a usable attack for that reason.
- Suicune makes an excellent partner for Abomasnow with its resistance to Water-type attacks and huge bulk, and with Hail, it can remove rain from a Politoed switch in and spam Blizzard.
