<p>This particular Suicune is very effective. What makes it different from the other Calm Mind Suicune set is that instead of using two attacks, you're using three attacks and more offense.</p>
<p>As far as walling goes, it still can do a good job against sweepers such as Metagross and Garchomp. It also beats lots of sweepers by outspeeding them. With Life Orb + Stealth Rock combined, Suicune has the ability to OHKO, for example, Lucario and Machamp, with Hydro Pump and no Calm Mind boosts.</p>
<p>Calm Mind is obviously there to raise Suicune's Special Attack and let it sweep. Surf / Hydro Pump give it a good STAB and some power. Hidden Power Electric and Ice Beam give good coverage, and hits a plethora of of Pokemon.</p>
<p>For your STAB attack, Hydro Pump is recommended, as the power is too good to drop. However, if you don't want to rely on accuracy, Surf is always an alternative to Hydro Pump. Hydro Pump also only has 8 PP, while Surf has 24.</p>

<p>Unlike the Resting Calm Mind Suicune, this set attempts to pull off a cleaner sweep of the opponent.</p>
<p>Thanks to Suicune's Base 100 HP, the water dog can make 101 HP Substitutes to beat Blissey. These Substitutes cannot be broken with one Seismic Toss and block Blissey's potentially crippling Toxic. On the somewhat rare occasion that one finds Suicune against Thunderbolt Blissey, Suicune can simply Calm Mind once or twice, making even the super-effective Thunderbolt unable to break the Substitutes Suicune throws up.</p>
<p>Surf is a simple STAB attack. You'll notice the exclusion of Hydro Pump unlike on many Water types. Despite the extra power, Hydro Pump has only 8 PP and 80% accuracy, and the move barely averages more than Surf over time. Ice Beam is the secondary move here; with Ice Beam Suicune will beat Celebi more often than not.</p>
<p>Every one of the given EVs is important to Suicune. 252 HP is a must for 101 HP Substitutes. 156 Speed beats Jolly Tyranitar by 3 points, beating most Zapdos, Celebi, and Gyarados to the punch as well. The 100 EVs in Special Attack and Modest give Suicune a chance to 2HKO even Calm Blissey after 6 Calm Minds.</p>
