Couple questions about Suicune

Just caught 100% IV Suicune. Moves aside (which are HP Poison/Water Pulse) - would you power it up eventually?

Is there a clue what influences Hidden Power typing? I wonder if every 100% will be getting HP Poison. Can anyone confirm that?

First of all, congratulations on your 100% man, second, no i would not because even kingler performs better.

Unfortunately nothing will influence which HP you'll get. It is just Random Number Generator (RNG). You also cant TM HP to ES and then to another type of HP.

Goodluck finding a water HP Suicune!

Thanks! Guess it will just sit there as a trophy. Funny part is that was my second attempt, first one I failed to catch.

Maybe someday Suicune will have it moveset re-rolled and get some water type quick move. One can dream.

Guess I'll just keep grinding with no pressure.

Hidden Power type in PoGo is not based on IVs like in the main series games. It is just randomly selected for each pokemon for each player. If two players at the same level catch the same wild pokemon with Hidden Power, I've heard that the Hidden Power type is randomly selected separately for each player.

Keep it as a trophy for now. There's the possibility that suicune gets a new fast move when Gen 3 is released (probably early 2018) and becomes a bit more useful. For now there is no way to change the poison type that you got (it could have been worse...)

That's exaclty what I was thinking. Hopefully it will get some justice it deserves as legendary Pokemon in the near future.

Yeah, it is a dilemma. I have been hurting for high IV pokemon, my highest so far being a 96% Entei. Yesterday I got my first Suicune and it was 100%. YAY!! Then again, that almost means that I have to power it up. I always intended to power up the best of each legendary and have done so so far, even my lacklustre 82% Articuno, but this one?? Dude, it is pretty much useless. A nice trophy, but that's it. I will probably power it up with the excess Suicune candy I earn this month, but I won't spend rare candy on it.

96% Entei is still pretty good. I'm somewhat jealous. Highest one Entei I got is 86%. Even if I wanted to power up any legendary - I have other, more useful priorities. The only legendary I powered up is 93% Lugia which does good job as anchor for Machamp solo raid and good tank overall.
