We can battle the raid boss Suicune in October in Pokémon GO. With these tips, you can defeat the boss and get the chance to catch the legendary beast.
Suicune is part of the trio of legendary beasts that are currently traveling the world in Pokémon GO. This means that we can only find each of them in specific areas for one month. In October, Suicune will be available as a raid boss in Europe and Africa. You can learn how to effectively defeat the water Pokémon in our guide.
Suicune Max-CP (CP) and Weaknesses
In the coming days, you will encounter Suicune as a legendary raid boss here in Europe. As a boss, the monster has a maximum of 34471 CP (CP) and has a maximum of 1613 CP after capture (Level 20, perfect IV).
About 6-7 trainers are recommended for the battle against Suicune. However, you might also be able to defeat it with fewer trainers.
Suicune Raid-Counter
In the coming days, we can expand the trio of legendary beasts in our PokéDex. The water part is now available. To catch Suicune, you have until the end of October, when the next rotation of legendary monsters occurs.

Catching Suicune – Low Catch Chance, Use Curveballs!
The base catch chance for Suicune is very low. We recommend using berries and throwing curveballs if you want to catch the legendary Pokémon. You will find an overview of the catch rates in the following table. The bonuses for the bronze, silver, and gold medals still need to be added.
Razz Berries and Golden Razz Berries are therefore a great help when catching the beast.
Suddenly a green screen before you can catch Suicune? This bug annoys many players!
