How to beat Dynamax Suicune in Pokémon GO – weakness and hundo CP

This weekend will see Dynamax Suicune arrive in Pokémon GO. Suicune appears across all of Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 of May in five-star Max Battles. Don't forget, because these are five-star Max Battles, they will be capped at four players, not forty like Gigantamax Battles. That makes things a bit easier for smaller communities.

Thanks to that, this weekend is a great time to get out and play Pokémon GO. To up the ante, Dynamax Suicune can also be shiny. This follows the debut of Dynamax Raikou in March, and Dynamax Entei in April.

We've gathered everything you need to know to beat Dynamax Suicune this weekend.

It is still pretty early in the Dynamax and Gigantamax system in Pokémon GO. Therefore the answer to this question depends on how invested you and the other Trainers in your battle are.

With really good counters, this could be completed by three Trainers. Otherwise, it is safer to aim for four. This weekends action is a harder than defeating Raikou and Entei.

Ideally, in that team of four, you want to have a mix of roles. Two Trainers attacking, one using Max Guard (shielding) and another using Max Spirit (healing). The attackers should focus on Pokémon that counter Suicune, with the others aiming for ones that simply resist its attacks.

As a Water-type, Dynamax Suicune has just two weaknesses in Pokémon GO. It is weak to Electric and Grass-type attacks.

This gives us a handful of options to beat Dynamax Suicune in Pokémon GO. We only have a few Electric-type Pokémon to use for these Max Battles, including Gigantamax Toxtricity. In addition, we also have a Gigantamax Grass-type in Venusaur.

Like we've seen all season, this week we have once again been given a preparation free Timed Research. This grants Dynamax Grookey, which can evolve into Dynamax Rillaboom, a good Grass-type. Plus, after the addition of Dynamax Blissey, we have a tanky healer to use now as well.

The best team to use for this Max Battle is Gigantamax Toxtricity, Gigantamax Venusaur and Dynamax Blissey.

Here are the best Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon avaliable. Blissey isn't listed because it is a bad attacker, but it is a top tier defender for Max Guard and Max Spirit.

In addition to those, you could also use Gigantamax Lapras, Gigantamax Blissey or Gigantamax Blastoise if you are only going to be defending.

A Pokémon you encounter after Max Battle cannot be weather boosted. That means there is only one hundo CP value to memorise for Dynamax Suicune:

Good luck this weekend, Trainers. Stay tuned to esports.gg for the latest esports news and more Pokémon GO updates.
