Suicune's hidden power
TLDR: fire or fighting!
I know Suicune is not a very good pokemon. But I want to use my legendaries, and I have 16 Suicunes...
Are there some interesting hidden power typing that would make Suicune interesting in some specific situations? gamepress already has a list for raid bosses, but is there anything else as an attacker or if it can ever be used as a defender?
fire/ground/fighting against Steelix: Suicune resistant to Steelix stab, SE hidden power
fire/fighting/steel/rock vs Lapras: Suicune resistant to all attacks, SE hidden power
electric/grass vs Vaporeon: resistant, SE
for defense:
ground against electric counters
ice/fire against grass counters (bug against Exeggutor)
Based on all this, fire and fighting Suicune seem OK as specific counters to moderately relevant gym defenders
Any thoughts?
PS. my hidden power Suicunes are: ghost, rock, ground, fly, ice :-(

There was the suicune analysis that specified that the best bet for suicune is to have hidden rock to attack double weak targets (I think Articuno is probably the best) while still resisting its attacks.
Otherwise, Water (for obvious reasons) and Ground (synergy to attack fire and Rock) is probably best.
Hidden fighting probably still works against golem, rhydon and ttar.
