If you want a Suicune Build, here's mine.
Suicune @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Pressure
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 84 Def / 100 SpA / 52 SpD / 20 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Reflect/Snarl
- Tailwind
Let me explain the EV Spread here. With 100 SpA you can kill a 4 HP Landorus-T with just one Ice Beam. The speed investment is there to speed creep opposing Suicunes and outspeed an Adamant Scarf Landorus-Tunder Tailwind. The moveset is pretty much the same as what Naitre mentioned except I occasionally run reflect just as a sorta a surprise setup for those physically based Pokemon like Mega Kangaskhan. Definitely try tweaking the ev spread here and there just to see what you is feel is necessary for Suicune or team itself.

Good build, similar to the one Cybertron used in APEX.

Yeah I fixed my mistake. Btw This Suicune set is just similar to the one found from the Smogon Doubles Set suggested for Suicune except I dropped a bit of special defense and add full hp investment. Honestly the special attack is usually around 68-124 (constant changing Spa evs). You can try modest for assurance Ice Beam kills but then again Bold/Calm just help Suicune's longevity.
