Since the Combat Power (CP) cap of Pocket Monsters in the Ultra League format of Pokemon GO PvP is 1,500, Suicune will have a little more bulk to play around with.

More bulk will let you reach more Charged moves, which will give you a higher chance of baiting shields out of your enemies.

  • Suicune as the Lead (Ranked at #431 with a rating of 68.9)
  • Scizor as the Safe Swap (Ranked at #206 with a rating of 78.7)

Since Suicune will not have a lot of bulk, you will have to rely on the other two critters to sponge your enemy’s attacks. In fact, it's crucial for shield-baiting.

With cheap Charged moves like Ice Beam, Suicune can deceive your opponent and make them give up shields. This, in turn, will land you in a good spot with a decent shield advantage in your battles in the Master League of Pokemon GO.
