Suicune en Pokémon GO

The latest member of Johto’s Legendary Dogs arrives in Pokémon GO. We tell you which are his best opponents to beat him.

Suicune comes temporarily to Pokémon GO. On the occasion of the Johto Celebration Event, which leads us to the Pokémon GO: Kanto Tour (from which we will have to choose the Green Edition and the Red Edition), we have had the Legendary Dogs in the raids of the game for iOS and Android only for a few days. After Entei and Raikou, it’s time to make room for the absolute protagonist of Pokémon Crystal. What are the best opponents to defeat him? We give you a hand.

Dates and Features: Suicune Returns to Pokémon GO in Raids

We start with the dates. Suicune is available in the five-star raids from this Thursday, February 4, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. to Tuesday, February 9, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. local time.

It is a creature with 180 ATK, 235 DEF and 225 resistance; it may be shiny / shiny. In the direct confrontation, at level 40 we can see him with up to 2983 CP, while in the raid he will have 37,761 CP (we recommend facing him with at least five players). Be especially careful if you have learned Hydropump, your most lethal attack. For the rest, it is not very difficult to kill him. Being weak to the Electric type, we are going to hit with these types of movements, without discretion.
