Option 2. I have 2 97 raikou 14 attack and I powered up 2 raikou that is 95 15 attack. 15/15/13 and 15/13/15 over 14/15/15. I think extrasensory over grass hidden power. If it was rock or water I would say hidden power. Suicune has low base attack stat so I would personally pick the 15 attack 95 iv one. Bubble beam is okay. You can spam it over and over but hydropump has that massive damage.

Suicune; Humor Me, Please
No matter what, by the end of the month I'm bound to end up with a sizable stack of Suicune candies. I want to power one up even though they lose out in most situations to Vaporeon. Obviously, my priority, regardless of IVs, will be a Water-Type Hidden Power, but in case that never happens I've got some potent options, as far as Suicunes go:
Option 1:
98% 14A/15D/15S Suicune
Quick: Extrasensory (Bad Hidden Power Type)
Charge: Hydro Pump (Optimal)
Option 2:
96% 15A/15D/13S Suicune
Quick: Hidden Power (Grass)
Charge: Bubblebeam (Requires CTM)
Grass Hidden Power is semioptimal, as it takes on similar counters such as Ground and Rock, while also covering Water-types in duels. Extrasensory, on the other hand, is a high-energy move, and allows for lots of charge moves. On the whole, I'd prefer highest IVs for powering up given the option regardless of attack stat, but the 98% would also save a CTM.
Extrasensory, or Hidden Power (Grass)?
And please don't comment about Suicune being irrelevant, I want to know which Suicune is better (assume I have NO other Pokemon and will never catch another Water-Type)

What is the "bad hidden power type" for # 1?
Based on what you have given, I would say # 2 with grass.
I caught a 100% yesterday with Fighting hidden power and HP. Probably only useful against ttar. I probably wouldn't have powered up a Suicune unless I got water hidden type, but I'm powering up my only 100% legendary more as a trophy
