This is the highlight of the event: As an additional bonus, because all teams have completed the global challenge, there will be a raid day with Suicune.
This will take place on August 17. There will be a Suicune raid at every gym for 3 hours. Excluded are gyms hosting an EX raid.
Suicune can also be encountered as a Shiny. It is the first time this Pokémon appears in its shiny form.
In terms of utility, however, Suicune is not very good. The highlight is the shiny form and not the Pokémon itself. Compared to Raikou and Entei, Suicune is the weakest. Even among water attackers, this Pokémon is not ranked highly.
