This compares base numbers and the type chart; it does not predict a winner. A real battle also depends on level, nature and EVs, the moves each one knows (a Pokémon does not always learn a move of its own type), held items, weather and terrain, and abilities (Entei: Pressure, Inner Focus; Suicune: Pressure, Inner Focus), so either one can come out ahead.
Who moves first?
At Level 50 with 252 Speed EVs, 31 IVs and a neutral nature, Entei has 152 Speed and Suicune has 137, so Entei moves first when both use moves of the same priority and no item, ability, status or stat change gets in the way.
| Speed | Entei | Suicune |
|---|---|---|
| Base Speed | 100 | 85 |
| Level 50, 252 EVs, neutral nature | 152 | 137 |
