Suicune

I've been using Crocune to great success this generation - he's still very much viable in gen 5 as well. If the opponent does not have a physically attacking Pokemon that hits Suicune for super effective, a haze user, or a Roar/Whirlwind user, he's a major nuisance to take down.
 
I really like Crocune this gen, yet it is somewhat unfortunate it can't use Water Absorb (despite being able to better PP stall opponents).
 
Remember when Suicune was 4HKOed by a Water attack?

Yeah, me neither.

Ice Beam>Blizzard, HP Electric slashed with Reflect. The problem is Suicune has pretty meh SpA without boosts, and Tailwind only lasts 5 turns, which isn't nearly enough to sweep with.

Could be paired with Lapras on a Hail team for another Water Absorber and STAB Blizzards! Vaporeon has the next highest SpA of Water Absorbers (110).
