Scald is good too if you want the 30% burn.

Hydro pump, STAB, high power

Blizzard, high power, good type

Rain dance, power up hydro pump,

calm mind, power up hydro pump agian and blizard,

Great because he can learn them all without TMs, and he can get STAB, Rain and calm mind for his hydro pump, for OHKO.

While your set is powerful, hydro pump and blizzard aren't that reliable, and with only 5 PP each, and the fact that most pokemon that face suicune in competitive battling have the ability pressure, it will run out of PP very quickly.
Plus, you aren't wasting anything with Surf.

Try this moveset:

Surf: Good power, STAB, double damage against Pokemon using Dive, high accuracy, better PP than Hydro Pump.

Ice Beam: Good power, high accuracy, chance to freeze, used to deal with Grass types, type coverage.

Calm Mind: Boosts it's special stats.

Reflect: Raises Suicune's and its team's defense.

Another option is to replace Reflect with Substitute, which will help you charge up Calm Mind.

So Suicune would be used as a sweeper?
No. I think that Suicune is WAY better as a special tank.

The all famous CroCune! Given this name because it was used by the battler Cromat in Gen III.

Suicune @ Leftovers

Trait: Pressure

EVs: 252 HP / 212 Def / 8 Spd / 36 SAtk

Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)

  • Calm Mind
  • Rest
  • Sleep Talk
  • Surf / Scald

Calm Mind will boost your Sp. Atk and Sp. Def. Rest will heal you, and Sleep Talk will either attack your opponent or Set up even more (but there's a 33% chance that you'll try to Rest again :/). Surf is for more power, and use Scald if you want the 30% burn.

It's not a 25% chance, it's a 33% chance because you can't use Sleep Talk again when you're using Sleep Talk leaving only Calm Mind, Rest, and Surf/Scald to be able to be used.
Oh right. Thanks

Suicune

Item: Leftovers

Ability: Water Absorb (DW)

  • Surf-STAB.
  • Reflect-Boosts defense. with its special bulk, this makes a pretty hard kill. Deals with the physical UU titans like Arcanine, Donphan, Staraptor and Nidoking.
  • Ice Beam-Deals with grass weakness. Gets powered in hail teams and picks off Staraptor.
  • Hidden Power [Grass]-Deals with other water types like Slowbro.

Good set. I use this myself. The special defense makes perfect sense with correlation with the BURN from Scald.
