Raikou,Zapdos, and who else?

I am starting to prepare for Suicuine and have been fortunate enough to have 3 good Raikou and Zapdos would Dragonite or Exxeguttor be better or maybe both? Also have a good Venusaur but at 2300 cp vs.2600 Eggy or 3100 Dnite? Idk.....

Exeggcutor has the added bonus of resistance against Extrasensory as well as all of Suicune's charged moves. It's the only Grass type to have damage output anywhere near that of the stronger Electric types.

From my personal experience I find Dragonite doing better than Exeggcutor doing better than Venusaur.

Thank you! I was hoping for some insight from someone who has actually faced it.

Db or DT?

is lvl 35 dragonite as good as lvl35 exeg?

I compare a level 37 Dragonite to a level 36.5 exeggcutor (C+SdB). I feel like the relative tankiness of Dragonite compensates, don't think the difference between then is large.

If you are enough players just go with your 6 Legendaries. If not I'd use Dragonite and Eggy as tank. Venusaur is not that good because Suicuine might have Extrasensory as Quick Move.
We have Suicuine here in Europe and he is tuff. You should be at least 6 people lvl35+
PS: he sucks. I'd try to convince your friends to do Tyranitar raids instead as soon as you have one for the Pokédex

I like the extra xp from Tier 5 and a little better rewards as I have just under 1m for Level 40, we have a hard core group that has done Raikou with 5 and Entei with 4 but thinking this is gonna be a 6 person so in my small town won't be a ton of chances anyway. I have managed around 100 of the first 2 beasts but I have about an 80% catch rate.

for me, my first choice is 2600++ cp exeggutor, then 2500++ cp exeggutor. My third choice is 3530cp (100%) lvl39 dragonite.

if your dragonite is only 3100cp, I'm not sure if it's as powerful.

Just ran a sim dragonite at level 39 is behind majority grass and electric attacker.
Rikou zapdos Jolteon Eggy mewtwo in this order at L39

Aside from the electrics, Eggy with Solar Beam is probably best despite the lower CP (gotta love that 302 damage with STAB and SE), then Dragonite. Dragonite does pretty well against most flavors of hidden power (save ice, of course). If you know the quick attack, you can plan for it. Just make sure to bring some water resistance.

Thanks for the insight. I power most of mine up to Level 30 but my 2 best Eggys are some of my oldest mons and they are 32.5 and 33. I enjoy some diversity for fun so may do 2 Raikou,2 Zapdos, Eggy,and Dragonite.

Thanks for all of the insight everyone! I know Suicune is not the Pokémon the other 2 are but still want a squad of them!
