Read the rules.
The sh sound is unvoiced (the vocal cords do not vibrate during its production), and is the counterpart to the voiced zh sound.
This sound is a continuous consonant, meaning that it should be capable of being produced for a few seconds with even and smooth pronunciation for the entire duration.
[1] ch spelling
The ch sound (not the sh sound), is the most common pronunciation for the ch spelling.
[2]: -tion suffix
The -tion suffix is only likely to be pronounced with a ch sound when it is preceded by an s sound (as in the words question and suggestion). In most other circumstances, the sh sound is the more likely pronunciation for this suffix.
[3]: -sion suffix
