Suicune @ LeftoversAbility: PressureEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDBold Nature- Calm Mind- Scald- Rest- Sleep Talk
The all famous CroCune! Given this name because it was used by the battler Cromat in Gen III.
Suicune @ LeftoversAbility: PressureEVs: 252 HP / 212 Def / 8 Spd / 36 SpABold Nature- Calm Mind- Rest- Sleep Talk- Surf / Scald
Calm Mind will boost your Special Attack and Special Defense. Rest will heal you, and Sleep Talk will either attack your opponent or set up even more (but there’s a 33% chance that you’ll try to Rest again :/). Surf is for more power, and use Scald if you want the 30% burn.
Curse Suicune = CurseCune
Suicune @ LeftoversAbility: Inner FocusEVs: 236 HP / 252 Atk / 20 SpDAdamant Nature- Curse- Liquidation- Avalanche/Ice Fang- Extreme Speed
Curseboosts Suicune’s Attack and Defense stat, but lowers its speed. However, in Gen 8, it got access to a priority move,Extreme Speed.Liquidationis STAB and has a chance to lower the opponent’s Defense stat. You could useAvalancheif you happen to use Curse multiple times and your opponent attacks you, or you could runIce Fang.
OU CroCune Remix
Suicune @ Lum BerryAbility: PressureEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDBold Nature- Scald- Calm Mind- Ice Beam- Rest
This set is based on the OU CroCune set. Check the explanation of the OU CroCune on Smogon, but here I will explain the modifications. I switch out Ice Beam for Sleep Talk because Suicune will now have more coverage and can hit Pokémon that would normally wall this set , such as Grass types. The Lum Berry makes the opponent waste a turn doing status, while also curing Suicune of any status it has, along with allowing Suicune to instantly recover from sleep, though you can still use Leftovers or a Chesto Berry instead.
If you doubt this set, I don’t blame you but FYI, I’ve won numerous battles with this set, even surviving Leaf Storm Contrary Serperior.

Hoped This Helped
Suicune @ LeftoversAbility: PressureEVs: 252 HP / 4 Spa / 252 SpDCalm Nature- Scald- Rest- Sleep Talk- Ice Beam
I use specially defensive Suicune because Scald helps physical defence with a burn.
Suicune @ LeftoversAbility: PressureEVs:252 HP / 156 Def / 4 SpA / 96 SpD(Physically Defensive)252 HP / 96 Def / 4 SpA / 256 SpD(Specially Defensive)Relaxed Nature- Protect- Toxic- Scald / Ice Beam- Aqua Ring
I love Toxic stalling, and this Suicune set gets it done. Protect and Toxic are pretty standard, Scald is damage with the chance to burn stuff that you can’t poison, though you can run Ice Beam if you hate Toxicroak. Aqua Ring seems questionable, but on top of Leftovers recovery, you heal 12% with an Aqua Ring. If you then protect on the following turn, it’s another 12% heal, totaling for a free 24% healing on something as bulky as Suicune.
As for the EVs, they can take an attack from both sides pretty well with some specialization in one side. Notably, the physically defensive one only gets 2KO’d by a Honchkrow at +1.
Just a quick reply of this set doing work.
