Shadow Suiciune is a pure Water-type Pokemon, which means it is weak only to Electric and Grass-type moves. Therefore, players should focus on using Pokemon which has those base types, as it would provide them with the best chances to take on the Pokemon with the same-type attack bonus. When it comes to its resistances, the Pokemon incurs lesser damage from Fire, Ice, Steel, and Water-type moves, so it is crucial to avoid such types altogether as they will be quite ineffective against Suicune.

Best Counters For Shadow Suicune

Here are the best counters for Shadow Suicune. Considering that this is a Legendary Pokemon, players should mostly focus on using Legendaries or Shadow/Mega Pokemon to be able to stand a chance against it. Additionally, most of the counters involve exploiting its weakness to Grass and Electric-type moves, apart from a few exceptions.

Best Moveset For Shadow Suicune

When it comes to the best moveset for Shadow Suicune, it boasts an extensive move pool which players can choose from. However, simply relying on the same-type-attack bonus isn’t enough to form the right moveset for Shadow Suicune. Here are the moves Shadow Suicune can learn.

Fast Moves	Charged Moves

Snarl	Bubble beam
Hidden Power	Water Pulse
