Wrong. Blissey isn't 2HKOed by most Suicune even with +6 Special Attack, and the ones that carry enough Special Attack to do it usually pack Life Orb and or no recovery.

Perhaps you don't understand the basic concept of why Perish Song is so good. By forcing the switch Perish Song makes Suicune take Toxic, Spikes, and SR damage, which very much adds up. Don't forget to consider more than the one-on-one matchup when talking about rampages.

Perish Song is really the "key" weapon against normal antistall stat up strategies on this team, its importance can't really be understated.
