Completing the Dynamax Suicune Battle Guide for Pokémon Go

With the recent introduction of Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing in Pokemon Go, new Pokémon capable of these transformations continue to emerge. In this game, Dynamaxing or Gigantamaxing temporarily alters a specific Pokémon’s form, significantly boosting its size and power.

The latest character to receive this enhancement is Dynamax Suicune, the Water-type Legendary Beast, completing the trio with its Dynamax form now available in Pokemon Go. Below is a comprehensive guide to Dynamax Suicune’s release in Pokemon Go, featuring details about its debut event and Max Battle.

Dynamax Suicune Max Battle Weekend

You’ll have the chance to battle Dynamax Suicune for the first time during the Dynamax Suicune Max Battle Weekend, scheduled from Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 6 AM local time to Sunday, May 11, 2025, at 9 PM local time.

During this event, you can engage in battles against Dynamax Suicune in the new Max Battle format, taking the place of many other Dynamax Pokémon at Power Spots. After successfully completing a Dynamax Suicune Max Battle, you’ll have the opportunity to catch your own Suicune, which will be able to Dynamax once captured.

Additionally, there will be some bonuses available throughout the event related to Max Particles or Max Battles, including:

• Receive eight times the Max Particles from Power Spots.
• Gain Max Particles when traveling 25 percent of the usual distance.
• Powering up and unlocking Max Moves will cost 25 percent less Max Particles.
• The Max Particles limit will be increased to 1,600.
• Power Spots will refresh more frequently.

• One Dynamax Grookey encounter

Dynamax Suicune: Recommended Group Size

Always attempt this Max Battle with a group, as winning solo is nearly impossible. For battling Dynamax Suicune, aim for a group of at least three to four Trainers, each wielding powerful Pokémon.

It’s essential for team members to adopt different roles regarding their Max Moves. Ideally, assign one to two Trainers to focus on healing or shielding, while the others concentrate on using damage-dealing Max Moves.

Dynamax Suicune: Strengths and Weaknesses

As is the case with any Max Battle, using Pokémon that have advantages against your opponent is crucial. Since Dynamax Suicune is a Water-type Pokémon, there are specific Pokémon types and attacks that will be particularly effective in this battle.

It’s important to avoid using Fire, Ice, Steel, and Water-type Pokémon as they are generally ineffective against Dynamax Suicune.

For this battle, utilize Pokémon with strong Grass or Electric-type attacks, which will deal bonus damage to Dynamax Suicune. Whenever possible, pair these attacks with Pokémon of the same type to trigger the Same Type Attack Bonus, amplifying the power of your moves.

Dynamax Suicune: Best Counter Picks

You’ll need to select three different Pokémon for the Max Battle against Dynamax Suicune. Each of these Pokémon must be capable of either Dynamaxing or Gigantamaxing, which limits your options.

While most top counters against Dynamax Suicune are strong Grass or Electric-type Pokémon, there are also other viable options despite the limited selection. Here are the 15 best Dynamax Suicune counters you can utilize in this Max Battle, along with ideal attacks for each:
