Team 1

• Tanks: 2x Level 40 Blissey with Pound + Level 3 Max Spirit
• Attacker: 1x Giganatmax Venusaur with Vine Whip + G-Max Vine Lash Level 3 or 1x Giganatmax Toxtricity with Spark + G-Max Stun Shock Level 3

Team 2

• Tanks: 2x Level 40 Lapras with Water Gun + Level 3 Max Guard and Level 3 Max Spirit

Duo-ing 5-star Suicune Max Battles can be more of an ordeal, especially if you don't want to spend money behind Max Mushrooms. Here's the strategy you should follow:

• Start the battle with Blissey and Lapras. During the first few Dynamax phases, the Blissey user switches into the Max Attacker. The Lapras user sticks with it and uses Max Guard to attack the targeted attacks, which it resists, to itself.
• For the subsequent turns, the Blissey user alternates between using Max Attack with G-Max Venusaur or G-Max Toxtricity and healing Blissey using Max Spirit. The Lapras user only attacks the Power Spot boss.
• Keep repeating this cycle until the Power Spot boss faints.
