Suicune outclassed by Kingler?!!

I ran some simulations in pokebattler comparing Suicune (ES/diff water attacks) and Kingler (double water) against Flareon (non boss), and Kingler has both a faster time to win and a higher “Overall”. I know that Niantic is applying a formula to get the base stats, but why won’t they buff Suicune?

Because they're Niantic.

The current base stats formula is not that fair to those Pokemon who get balanced physical and special stats. Niantic seems to be not care about this problem right now, and just use the same formula on every Pokemon straight up.

Niantic don't give a fudge, they just want to make money.

It's a simple, money making game, that formula works for them. If there's a pokemon that has the wrong stats, so be it. 95% of the playerbase don't care, they just want to play a simple game to pass their time.

This may be true since kingler has one of the highest attack stats for a water type mon (ranked 12 for highest attack on gamepress.) The problem is he lacks the stamina and the right movesets to make him a ideal mon compared to vaporeon. In suicuines situation, it may not be the best compared to either of them but it will last much longer in a battle compared to a kingler since it has much higher stamina (90 more to be exact.) It also has higher defense but not by much only 16 more compared to kingler. Have you run simulations on them but with suicuine useing hidden power water instead? You may get different results.
