No matter how much time has passed since the release of any legendary Pokemon, players will not stop hunting for it in the hope of catching the rarest version, and Suicune is a prime example of this. As the water representative of the legendary Johto region trio, this Pokemon arrived in the gaming world in 2017 but is still a target for many trainers. But while newbies are looking for power, more experienced players are looking to create a unique collection and are asking the same question. Can Suicune Be Shiny in Pokemon Go? Here, you will find the answer.
Can You Catch Shiny Suicune in Pokemon Go
If you’re looking for the short answer, then Yes, Suicune can be shiny in Pokemon Go. As we said earlier, the first players saw this pocket monster as a raid boss in August 2017. But two years later, in August 2019, during the Special Raid Challenge, we received a unique coloring of this legendary water Pokemon.
The Shiny version of Suicune’s body color changes to a softer blue hue, and its lush purple hair becomes a vibrant blue. However, this coloring is more suitable for a Pokemon whose existence represents a clean water flow and whose life goal is to clean up dirty rivers and seas.
Luckily, if you want to get Shiny Suicune, now you have the opportunity. After all, from September 23 to October 6, you can find Suicune and other members of the legendary trio of the Johto region in 5-star raid gyms. Of course, the chance of meeting a shiny version of this Pokemon is only 1 in 20, but you guarantee success with an almost 100% chance by defeating several Suicune daily.
As is the tradition of the Pokemon world, before you can catch a Pokemon, you have to defeat it, and this water legendary pocket monster is no exception to the rule. Being a Water-type Pokemon, Suicune is weak against Grass and Electric-type attacks. You can use any Pokemon whose fast and charge moves match your target’s weaknesses, but here are a few of the best counters that have the best result against Suicune:
- Mega Sceptile: Bullet Seed and Frensy Plant.
- Kartana: Thunder Shock, Discharge.
- Xurkitree: Thunder Shock, Discharge.
- Zekrom: Charge Beam, Fusion Bolt.
- Zarude: Vine Whip, Power Whip.
- Zapdos: Thunder Shock, Thunderbolt.
