Suicune appeared as a beam of light in ''[[PS117|Slugging It Out With Slugma]]''. It wasn't officially seen until ''[[PS122|Querulous Qwilfish]]'' where it had cured the baby Qwilfish {{adv|Crystal}} had rescued and cleansed the sea water. It appeared in ''[[PS138|Really Raikou & Entirely Entei I]]'', joining Raikou and Entei against Falkner and afterwards discussed with them about Ho-oh. It was revealed in a flashback in ''[[PS141|Hello, Lickitung]]'', where it was awakened by {{adv|Yellow}} along with its two counterparts, and the three raced around [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] looking for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to help them defeat the [[Masked Man]] to free {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Suicune, in particular, personally challenges many of the [[Gym Leader]]s in the two [[region]]s. During its travels, it encounters both [[Eusine]] and {{adv|Crystal}}, both of which become obsessed with capturing it. Eusine acquires the [[Clear Bell|Crystal Bell]] from the Rocket trio he defeats, but he and Crystal are still unable to capture Suicune. Crystal has her confidence shattered by this (and by the guilt of interrupting Suicune's attempt to contact its old master) and has to retreat back to her old training grounds to regain her confidence, which she does by reacquiring her catching skills capturing a wild {{p|Larvitar}}. Suicune later chooses [[Misty]] as its partner and fights alongside her, but then pairs up with Crystal anyways after Misty becomes injured (much to the dismay of Eusine). | Suicune appeared as a beam of light in ''[[PS117|Slugging It Out With Slugma]]''.

Suicune (Japanese: スイクン Suicune) is a Water-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Along with Raikou and Entei, it is one of the Legendary beasts resurrected by Ho-Oh after the burning of the Brass Tower. Of the three Legendary beasts, Suicune is said to represent the rains that quenched the flames of the burning Brass Tower.
Suicune is the game mascot of Pokémon Crystal, appearing on the boxart.
Suicune is pursued in the anime, manga, Pokémon Crystal, and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver by Eusine.
Biology
Suicune is a slim, quadruped, blue, mammalian Pokémon with white, diamond-shaped markings. Its face and underside are white as well. Suicune has a thick, purple mane that resembles the aurora borealis and two white, streamer-like tails that wave forward. It has a long, white snout. Suicune has a large, hexagonal, cerulean blue crest on its forehead that resembles the antlers of a Qilin with two prongs on either side of the base. It has red eyes, a small tuft of fur under its chin, and small paws with white paw pads.
Suicune has the power to walk across water and purify dirty water with one touch. It travels across grasslands in search of water to purify. Northern winds always seem to blow stronger in its presence. In Pokémon Crystal, Suicune is said to be the closest of the Legendary beasts to Ho-Oh. It is also said to have a link to the Unown. In the anime, Suicune is shown to be heroic, serious, and calm during dangerous situations.

In Pokémon Generations
A wild Suicune appeared in Ecruteak City in The Reawakening.
In the manga
In the movie adaptations
- Main article: Suicune (M04) and Suicune (M13)
Two different Suicune appeared in the manga adaptations of the fourth and thirteenth Pokémon movies.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Suicune (Adventures)
Suicune appeared as a beam of light in Slugging It Out With Slugma. It wasn't officially seen until Querulous Qwilfish where it had cured the baby Qwilfish Crystal had rescued and cleansed the sea water. It appeared in Really Raikou & Entirely Entei I, joining Raikou and Entei against Falkner and afterwards discussed with them about Ho-oh. It was revealed in a flashback in Hello, Lickitung, where it was awakened by Yellow along with its two counterparts, and the three raced around Kanto and Johto looking for Trainers to help them defeat the Masked Man to free Ho-Oh. Suicune, in particular, personally challenges many of the Gym Leaders in the two regions. During its travels, it encounters both Eusine and Crystal, both of which become obsessed with capturing it. Eusine acquires the Crystal Bell from the Rocket trio he defeats, but he and Crystal are still unable to capture Suicune. Crystal has her confidence shattered by this (and by the guilt of interrupting Suicune's attempt to contact its old master) and has to retreat back to her old training grounds to regain her confidence, which she does by reacquiring her catching skills capturing a wild Larvitar. Suicune later chooses Misty as its partner and fights alongside her, but then pairs up with Crystal anyways after Misty becomes injured (much to the dismay of Eusine).
A Ditto transformed into a Suicune to distract Crystal and Eusine in Miltank Melee, while Ken, Al and Harry surrounded the real one. Ditto's stretchiness was able to grab both of them, but Crystal managed to escaped with her Monlee and defeated the Ditto.
An ice sculpture of a Suicune appeared in Mahogany Gym in Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa, where it started to move and battled against Whitney and Pryce. It was later destroyed in Savvy Swinub, were it was revealed to Whitney and the Radio Crew that Pryce uses it for battle practice.

Other appearances
Pokkén Tournament
Suicune is a Standard-type playable character in Pokkén. Moves it can use include Aurora Beam, Hydro Pump, Mirror Coat, and Blizzard. In Burst Form, it can use the Burst Attack True Sheer Cold.
Super Smash Bros. Melee/Brawl/3DS/Wii U
When released from a Poké Ball, Suicune unleashes a blast of Blizzard that causes high levels of damage. Suicune returns in Brawl but with a different attack, Aurora Beam.
Suicune reappears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, functioning the same as in Brawl. In these games, it can also be summoned from a Master Ball.
Melee trophy information
This mystical aurora Pokémon constantly journeys in search of places with pure flowing water. Suicune wields the power to instantly purify any contaminated water it finds. Some say Suicune is the north wind reborn. Its strange and dramatic story is told over the course of the Crystal version of the Pokémon game.
Brawl trophy information
"An Aurora Pokémon. It has the power to instantly purify even the filthiest water. Suicune is said to be the reincarnation of the northern wind, so when it shows up, so does that wind. Suicune uses the move Aurora Beam--aurora light focused into a powerful beam. Along with inflicting damage, this attack also lowers the target's attack power."
3DS/Wii U trophy information
NA: A Legendary Pokémon that emerged from the ashes of the Burned Tower, Suicune is a Water-type Pokémon easily identified by its long, purple mane. In battle, it'll head toward a nearby fighter and fire an Aurora Beam all the way to the edge of the screen. If you get hit, you'll be frozen solid!
PAL: Suicune is one of the Legendary Pokémon from the Burned Tower in Ecruteak City. Its mane is said to resemble an aurora floating over it. If summoned in battle, it'll make its way straight for a nearby fighter and unleash its Aurora Beam. The target, frozen in place, is unable to resist as it's blown off the stage.
Game data
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Crystal: It is possible to see Suicune multiple times on the overworld before the actual battle in Bell Tower. In these occasions, it will always hop away on being spotted.
- Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: As in Crystal, Suicune will roam Johto and Kanto before finally battling the player. After being first seen in the Burned Tower, it runs to Cianwood City, Mt. Mortar, Vermilion Harbor, and Route 14 before giving itself up at the end of Route 25 after defeating Misty. If it is not caught, Suicune can be found in the Burned Tower after defeating the Elite Four again.
- Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: Suicune first appears alongside Raikou up on Revelation Mountain where they confronted Krookodile believing he turned Entei to stone but discovered Nuzleaf was responsible and was turned to stone. Suicune later helped the player and partner escape from the Voidlands.

Trivia
- Suicune, along with Raikou and Entei, was designed by Muneo Saitō.[1]
- Suicune's number in the National Pokédex and the Johto Pokédex are the same: 245.
- Suicune is the only game mascot part of a Legendary trio whose fellow members are not game mascots.
Origin
Suicune is thought to be based on numerous creatures and mythological deities, mainly the Qilin or "Kirin", an Eastern legend that has traits of chinese dragons, unicorns, deer, big cats, and other beasts. The Qilin was said to be able to walk on water and is known to be a powerful and peaceful creature. The crest on Suicune's head roughly matches the description of the beast's antlers. The spots of Suicune are also significant, seeming to combine the spots of a leopard, taking homage from Fūjin, the Shinto god of The North Wind, who wears leopard skin. Leopards themselves are found in Asia and are featured in myths that show it is a widely respected sacred animal like the Qilin. The way it runs and roars in the anime may also relate to the leopard. Being a Pokémon that represents the wind and rain, Suicune may also be based on some of the world's numerous myths of wind deities. Suicune's mane is meant to resemble a northern aurora.
Name origin
Suicune may be a combination of 水 sui (water) and 君 kun (monarch). The game title it is the mascot of suggests that it may derive from 水晶 suishō (crystal).
