Suicune or Shedinja

if shed ninja ever gets his ability it will be decent enough

to make suicune to be good it needs a new move and cp change

what one do you think is more likely to happen

I was all set up for 5 research tasks in November but after informing myself on Reddit I decided to go with another Suicune and 12 candies.

Suicune.

1 reason: You would need to walk a Suicune 240-260km to get the 12-13 candies lost by not catching Suicune during this event, and only 60-65 for Shedinja.

Other than that, neither one of them are useful in the current meta. Suicune is more useful than Shedinja due to having actual Health, but really, neither are ever going to come up on your radar.

I was all geared up to get my first Shedinja today but now I'm not so sure either. Neither Shedinja or Suicune are particularly great but odds are a shakeup to make Suicune viable is more likely than one needed for Shedinja. Not to mention +12 of any legendary candy is hard to pass up.

This largely depends on if I'm able to get my last stamp during my lunch break. I suppose I have about 4 hours to decide before the boxes flip.

Still trying to decide myself. Neither is a usable attacker. Depending if and how Shedinja's ability is implemented, it could be a troll defender.

Biggest thing I am getting from either is an extra chance at a luckydex entry. If legendary beasts make a raid return, it will be hard to get enough people together for Suicune, so not a lot of lucky chances there. If Shedinja gets released with wider availability later, then there will be a lot of lucky chances.

Suicune by far. The potential gain is just much larger. Shedninja will at most be a 5km buddy, Suicune is known to be a 20km buddy, and you get double the candy if you catch Suicune.

Both require a shakeup to be good, but I would argue that Suicune's shakeup is more likely due to being easier to implement. Legendaries allowed for gym defense or a battle mode that favors TDO would both make it at least somewhat useful, or even relatively good. Shedninja on the other hand requires Niantic implementing completely new mechanics which always takes a lot of resources to develop.

Suicine.

There's a chance, however slim, that you eventually decide to partake in these Raid challenges/drafts, where a Suicine might eventually find use.

Shedinja, even with his ability (which likely will never get Incorporated), will never really be of any use.
