With the announcement of the World of Wonders season, Pokemon Go revealed that Gen 2’s Legendary Beast trio would be headlining Shadow Raid weekends throughout the season.
While Shadow Raikou is the Legendary Beast for March 2024, Suicune will come after it in the following months.
As such, trainers will want to know the best moveset for this powerful Shadow Pokemon after taking it down in Raids. So, let’s go over all of Suicune’s moves and decide which are the best for both PvP and Raid content in Pokemon Go.

All Pokemon Go Shadow Suicune moves
Like all Shadow Pokemon, Shadow Suicune will know the Charged Move Frustration. However, certain Pokemon Go Team Rocket events allow players to change the Charged Move of Shadow Pokemon with a Charged TM.
Shadow Suicune is a Water-type Pokemon that has access to the following moves:
Fast Moves
- Extrasensory (Psychic)
- Snarl (Dark)
- Ice Fang (Ice)
- Hidden Power – Legacy Move (Normal)
Charged Moves
- Ice Beam (Ice)
- Bubble Beam (Water/STAB)
- Water Pulse (Water/STAB)
- Scald (Water/STAB)
- Hydro Pump (Water/STAB)
Pokemon Go Shadow Suicune: Best moveset for PvP
Shadow Suicune’s PvP moveset is fairly flexible, but we recommend using Snarl for the Fast Move and Bubble Beam and Hydro Pump as the Charged Moves.
Trainers should stick with Snarl for Shadow Suicune’s Fast Move as it has very good Energy yields out of the available Fast Moves.
That being said, Ice Fang and Extrasensory provide benefits as well. Both Ice Fang and Extrasensory provide great type coverage, though their synergy with the Charged Moves will be skewed.
For the first Chared Move, you will want to opt for Bubble Beam thanks to its synergy with Snarl, as it can be used fairly often and provides a guaranteed Attack debuff. Bubble Beam also takes advantage of STAB.
The second Charged Move option can be fairly flexible, though we recommend Hydro Pump. It also provides great synergy with Snarl and can lead to some nice OHKOs. Alternatively, Ice Beam can work as a Charged Move option as it provides helpful type coverage.
Pokemon Go Shadow Suicune: Best moveset for Raids
Shadow Suicune’s PvE moveset is slightly less flexible, so the same combo of Snarl for the Fast Move and Hydro Pump and Bubble Beam as the Charged Moves is the best choice.
Snarl is the best Fast Move of the bunch, but Extrasensory also has its benefits in PvE content and provides a different suit of type coverage.
The Charged Moves should be Hydro Pump and Bubble Beam, as the other options are simply worse. Hydro Pump’s overall damage is great in PvE content while Bubble Beam provides a bit more leeway in battle.
There you have it!
