Whirlpool-Beam Build Explanation

This build revolves around dealing damage to opponents using Whirlpool and Ice Beam.

  • Wise Glasses provides Suicune a decent amount of Sp. Atk., increasing its overall damage output.
  • Slick Spoon gives Suicune HP and more Sp. Atk., and the ability to ignore a portion of the opponent's Sp. Def.
  • Choice Specs gives Suicune more Sp. Atk. and adds a nice flat amount of damage to its moves.
  • Sp. Atk. Specs can be a replacement for Wise Glasses or Choice Specs for more flat amount of Sp. Atk.
  • Eject Button allows Suicune to quickly reposition for offensive and defensive means.
  • The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Green Emblems for more damage and 7 Black Emblems additional cooldown reduction. This can be achieved by having at least three (3) Emblems that are both Green and Black.
  • Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk. or HP to further boost Suicune's damage and durability.
  • Attack, Critical-Hit Rate, Sp. Def., and Defense can be freely traded for the other stats.

Since the build is centered on Surf and Icy Wind, equipping items that will maximize their damage is the ideal item combination.

Out of all the item combinations, Wise Glasses, Choice Specs, and Slick Spoon will be the best for the build. Although it did not generate the highest results, it still does decent damage without requiring Suicune to fully stack an item.

As for alternatives, replacing Wise Glasses with Sp. Atk. Specs would be the ideal choice. The item combination deals the most Ice Beam damage, which is more favorable given it has two (2) charges and is easy to hit, and is more benefitial for Suicune thanks to Slick Spoon's HP stat and effect.

These damage tests are conducted in Practice Mode with Goodra as the Training Partner. The Pokemon is set to level 15 and has no items equipped. The results are taken by substracting the Pokemon's max HP and its HP after taking damage.

How to Play Suicune

Get Aggressive in the Early Game

Suicune can get aggressive early on as soon as it gets both of its initial moveset. The combination of Avalanche and Water Pulse on top of its boosted attack and passive makes Suicune extremely strong in the early game.

One effective strategy to do is to use Avalanche first, then use Water Pulse to shove opponents back to Avalanche's area of effect.

Featured Pages
Avalanche (Suicune)Avalanche Water Pulse (Suicune)Water Pulse

Play Around Pressure's Effects

Suicune's strength and core gameplay come mostly from Pressure's effects. Playing around these effects is the key to using Suicune effectively.

Pressure: Suicune Passive Effect and Cooldown

Keep Freezing Targets

Pressure's best effect is enabling Suicune to instantly knock out frozen opponents whose HP is below a set percentage. In order to take full advantage of this effect, Suicune must constantly freeze opponents using its moves.

To do this, just take note that Suicune must drench opponents first using Surf or Whirlpool, then follow up with Ice Beam or Icy Wind to freeze them.

Maintain the Shield and Fill Up the Crystal Gauge

Whenever Suicune hits targets with its moves, it generates a shield and fills up its crystal gauge. The shield can stack up to 2 times, allowing it to tank more damage and prolong its life during fights. Meanwhile, filling up the crystal gauge allows Suicune to perform a boosted attack, which deals additional damage to frozen targets.

Use Surf to Break Icy Wind's Ice Pillars

Icy Wind and Surf have a special interaction with each other. If Surf collides with ice pillars created by Icy Wind, it instantly breaks it, dealing damage to nearby enemies.

Making use of this special interaction should be Suicune's gameplay when its using Surf and Icy Wind since it will deal more damage.

Featured Pages
Icy Wind (Suicune)Icy Wind Surf (Suicune)Surf

Utilize Whirlpool's Second Activation

When using Whirlpool, make sure to always recast the move. Doing so allows Whirlpool to be relocated to a new position and also deal more damage as it passes through the same targets.

The move is also great for zoning out opponents from certain areas, especially when trying to secure objectives.

Whirlpool: Suicune Move Effect and Cooldown

Instantly Freeze Targets with Endless Ice Spikes

Unlike Suicune's other moves, Endless Ice Spikes can instantly freeze targets even without them being drenched first and also deals a decent amount of damage, making it a great move for setting up a fight.

Endless Ice Spikes: Suicune Move Effect and Cooldown

Use to Remove Status Effects

One unique effect of Endless Ice Spikes is that it can be used even if Suicune is stunned or unable to move. Using the move while stunned will remove all the status effects from Suicune.

Take note of this mechanic during fights as it renders the opponents' disables useless and turn the tides against them.

Counter with Disables and Hindrance Immunity

Best Teammates for Suicune

Pokemon Explanation
Slowbro ImageSlowbro Wigglytuff ImageWigglytuff Pokemon with Strong Disables
Strong disabling moves like Sing and Slowbeam makes it easier for Suicune to set up its moves. Morever, those Pokemon can take the frontlines, allowing Suicune to safely use its moves from the backlines.
Venusaur ImageVenusaur Leafeon ImageLeafeon Pokemon with High Burst Damage
Since Suicune can execute frozen targets whose HP is below a set percentage, Pokemon that have high burst damage can quickly bring targets' HP low enough for Suicune to finish them off.
