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.
