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. It is pursued in the anime, Pokémon Adventures, Pokémon Crystal, and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver by Eusine.

Suicune is the game mascot of Pokémon Crystal, appearing on the boxart.

It is said to be a relative of the Paradox Pokémon Walking Wake^[1] or a version of it^[2] from a different timeline.

Biology

Suicune is a slim, quadrupedal, 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 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 by following the north wind. 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. Suicune's personality is said to be heroic, serious, and calm during dangerous situations, as depicted in Drifloon On the Wind!. Suicune is believed to be both the embodiment of the north winds and compassion of pure spring waters. Suicune loves Suicune Treats made by Snacksworth, who once encountered and rode with it in the past. Walking Wake shares a resemblance to Suicune. Walking Wake is believed to be an ancient Suicune.

Game data

NPC appearances

Pokémon Crystal: It is possible to see Suicune multiple times on the overworld (specifically in Cianwood City, outside Mt. Mortar on Route 42, and on Route 36 just beside the gate to National Park) before the actual battle in the Tin 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, Route 42, Vermilion Harbor, and Route 14 before becoming battleable at the end of Route 25 after defeating Misty. If it is not caught, Suicune can be found in the Burned Tower after entering the Hall of Fame 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.

Shiny Suicune in the anime

Suicune (recurring)

Suicune made its debut in Don't Touch That 'dile, where Ash and his friends first encountered one as they were heading towards New Bark Town. Suicune was seen standing on a small island in a lake, appearing as a mysterious silhouette of blue energy. At first, Ash did not understand what Pokémon it was and wanted to catch it. However, Suicune leaped into the fog and vanished as soon as Ash made an attempt to battle it.

The same Suicune reappeared in For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!. After Team Rocket had removed the Crystal Bells from Ecruteak's Tin Tower, many Bug-type Pokémon invaded the city. They wrapped Jessie, James and Meowth in a String Shot and blocked off the entry to the Tin Tower. Suicune appeared in a mystical blue light and calmed the wild Pokémon down. Seeing the Legendary Pokémon, Jessie had Arbok launch a Poison Sting, but Suicune evaded the attack and sent Team Rocket blasting off with an Aurora Beam.

Eusine wanted to catch Suicune and sent out his Alakazam to battle it. Alakazam used Disable, but Suicune easily blocked it with a Mirror Coat. It then used Roar to send Alakazam back into its Poké Ball and fled from the area before Eusine could even react. The brief encounter led Eusine to pursue Suicune, in the hopes of seeing it again one day.

Its known moves are Aurora Beam, Mirror Coat, and Roar.

Suicune (M04)

In Celebi: The Voice of the Forest, a Suicune participated in the battle against Dark Celebi. It also demonstrated its ability to purify water.

Suicune (M13)

A Shiny Suicune appeared with the other members of its trio in Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Goh's Suicune

In Healing the Healer!, Ash and Goh encountered a Suicune that was being targeted by a group of Pokémon hunters. Goh caught Suicune in order to save and heal it. In the end, even though the hunters were arrested and Goh attempted to release Suicune, it chose to remain under his ownership while roaming the world.

Suicune first appeared as a beam of light in Slugging It Out With Slugma. Its first proper appearance was in Querulous Qwilfish. It was revealed in Hello, Lickitung that Yellow had unintentionally freed the Legendary beasts from their imprisonment at the Burned Tower, from which they then left to roam Johto and Kanto in search for a Trainer to team up with in the battle against the Masked Man. Despite both Eusine and Crystal pursuing Suicune and attempting to catch it, Suicune eventually chose Misty as its Trainer after battling her at Tohjo Falls. After the Masked Man was defeated, Suicune returned to the wild.

Suicune reappears again in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, functioning the same as in previous games. In this game, 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

Suicune trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

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.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Suicune appears as a Spirit alongside Entei and Raikou.

Trivia

Suicune, along with Raikou and Entei, was designed by Muneo Saitō.^[3]^[4]
Suicune's numbers in the National Pokédex and the Johto Pokédex are identical: 0245 and 245, respectively.
Suicune is the only member of a Legendary trio to also be a game mascot while its fellow members are not.
Suicune is the only Shadow Pokémon that can have a varying moveset. Normally knowing Surf if snagged in The Under or Realgam Tower, Suicune instead knows Hydro Pump if it is snagged in Deep Colosseum.

Origin

When asked if Suicune was based on any particular animal, Muneo Saitō described its creation process to come together easily and fell into a motif that felt "leopard-like".^[5] This motif may have been a homage from Fūjin, the Shinto god of the wind, who wears leopard skin. Its mane also looks similar to aurora. Its build, crest, and ability to walk on water bear similarities to the Qilin.

Water-type Suicune corresponds to the rain that put out the Brass Tower according to its legend; at the same time Raikou represents the lightning that struck it, and Entei represents the fire that burned it.

Name origin

Suicune may be a combination of 水 sui (water), 水晶 suishō (crystal), and 君 kun (monarch).

 ==Biology==
-===Physiology===
+Suicune is a slim, quadrupedal, blue, mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with white, diamond-shaped markings. Its face and underside are white as well. Suicune has a thick, purple mane that resembles the {{wp|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 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 is an elegant, slim, blue Pokémon with white diamond-shaped spots and a white underside. Suicune has a purple, cape-like mane that resembles a northern aurora ({{wp|Aurora Borealis}}) or a flowing river and two white streamer-like tails. Strangely, these tails are never seen flowing behind Suicune, a possible effect from the Northern wind blowing from behind it. It has a hexagonal, aquamarine-colored crest on its forehead, red irises, a protrusion on the underside of its chin and small paws. Its paws have a small white oval on their underside.
-====Gender differences====
-Suicune is a genderless species.
-===Special abilities===
-Suicune has the power to purify dirty water and can walk across water. Northern winds always seem to blow wherever it shows up. Because Suicune is the embodiment of the northern winds, it is able to learn and use almost every attack with relation to the wind (such as {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Icy Wind}}, {{m|Blizzard}}, and even {{m|Tailwind}}, making it the only non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon to do so). Suicune, like the other [[Legendary Beasts]], is also extremely fast; interestingly enough, however, it does not learn {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} naturally. It also sports limited mental powers.
-As noted in {{game|Crystal}}, Suicune is said to be the closest of the [[Legendary Beasts]] to {{p|Ho-Oh}}. It is also said to have a link to the {{p|Unown}}.
+Suicune has the power to walk across water and purify dirty water with one touch. It travels across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} in search of water to purify by following the north wind. Northern winds always seem to blow stronger in its presence. In {{game|Crystal}}, Suicune is said to be the closest of the [[Legendary beasts]] to {{p|Ho-Oh}}. It is also said to have a link to the {{p|Unown}}. Suicune's personality is said to be heroic, serious, and calm during dangerous situations, as depicted in ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''. Suicune is believed to be both the embodiment of the north winds and compassion of pure spring waters. Suicune loves [[Suicune Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered and rode with it in the past. {{p|Walking Wake}} shares a resemblance to Suicune. Walking Wake is believed to be an ancient Suicune.
-===Behavior===
-* In the anime, Suicune has shown a heroic, serious and calm nature to dangerous situations and has appeared just in time to save the main character or [[character of the day]], as shown in ''[[Drifloon on the Wind!]]'' when it races to save Ash and Paige.
-* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], it was thought to be searching for a trainer strong enough to master it, but was however looking for allies in the battle against the [[Masked Man]] to save its creator, {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
-* It's sometimes seen roaring off sides of cliffs.
-===Habitat===
-[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
-Since Suicune is a member of the Legendary Beast Trio, Suicune races around the land. Some say it searches for a pure reservoir. Many speculate that Suicune and the rest of the Legendary Beasts are indeed not unique species because in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} speaks as if the Suicune in question was a specific Pokémon of that species.

-==In the anime==
-[[Image:For Ho-oh the Bells Toll.jpg|210px|thumb|right|Suicune in the anime]]
-===Major appearances===
-====[[Suicune (anime)]]====
-Its first appearance is in the episode ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'' when {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} spot Suicune in the middle of a lake near [[New Bark Town]]. When it spots the group, it runs off.
-Its first significant appearance is in the episode ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', where it appeared in [[Ecruteak City]] after one of the [[Clear Bells|Crystal Bells]] from the [[Bell Tower]] was destroyed.
-====[[Suicune (movie 4)]]====
-The first lengthy appearance of Suicune is in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. In the course of the movie, it demonstrated its ability to purify water, as well as doing battle with Dark {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}}.
-====Other====
-[[File:Suicune anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Suicune in Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]
-Suicune also appears in [[Sinnoh]] in ''[[DP028|Drifloon on the Wind!]]''. It was a friend to two young [[Nurse Joy|Joys]] named [[Marnie and Paige]]. Suicune saved {{Ash}} and Paige's lives.
-A [[Legendary beasts (movie 13)|shiny Suicune]] appeared alongside {{p|Celebi}} and the other members of its [[Legendary beasts|trio]] in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
-===Minor appearances===
-Suicune also has a small cameo at the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

-==In the manga==
-===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
-[[File:PS151.png|thumb|right|Suicune in Pokémon Adventures]]
-Suicune 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 nearly every single [[Gym Leader]] 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 is 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 anyway after Misty becomes injured (much to the dismay of Eusine).
-Suicune can communicate with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}} {{m|Extrasensory|telepathically}}.
-==In the TCG==
-{{main|Suicune (TCG)}}
-==Other appearances==
-[[Image:SSBB Suicune.png|220px|right|thumb|Suicune in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
-===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
-When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Suicune unleashes a blast of {{m|Icy Wind}} that causes high levels of damage. Suicune returns in Brawl but with a different [[move|attack]], {{m|Aurora Beam}}.
 ==Game data==
 ===NPC appearances===
-{{game|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.
+* {{g|Crystal}}: It is possible to see Suicune multiple times on the overworld (specifically in [[Cianwood City]], outside [[Mt. Mortar]] on {{rt|42|johto}}, and on {{rt|36|johto}} just beside the gate to [[National Park]]) before the actual battle in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. In these occasions, it will always hop away on being spotted.
+* {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}: 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]], {{rt|42|johto}}, [[Vermilion City#Harbor|Vermilion Harbor]], and {{rt|14|Kanto}} before becoming battleable at the end of {{rt|25|Kanto}} after defeating [[Misty]]. If it is not caught, Suicune can be found in the Burned Tower after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] again.

+[[File:Suicune M13.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Suicune in the anime]]
+=====Suicune (recurring)=====
+Suicune made its debut in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first encountered one as they were heading towards [[New Bark Town]]. Suicune was seen standing on a small island in a lake, appearing as a mysterious silhouette of blue energy. At first, Ash did not understand what Pokémon it was and wanted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. However, Suicune leaped into the fog and vanished as soon as Ash made an attempt to {{pkmn|battle}} it.
+The same Suicune reappeared in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''. After {{TRT}} had removed the [[Clear Bell|Crystal Bells]] from {{ci|Ecruteak}}'s [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], many {{type|Bug}} Pokémon invaded the city. They wrapped [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in a {{m|String Shot}} and blocked off the entry to the Tin Tower. Suicune appeared in a mystical blue light and calmed the [[wild Pokémon]] down. Seeing the [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Jessie]] had {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} launch a {{m|Poison Sting}}, but Suicune evaded the attack and sent Team Rocket blasting off with an {{m|Aurora Beam}}.
+[[Eusine]] wanted to catch Suicune and sent out his {{p|Alakazam}} to battle it. Alakazam used {{m|Disable}}, but Suicune easily blocked it with a {{m|Mirror Coat}}. It then used {{m|Roar}} to send Alakazam back into its {{i|Poké Ball}} and fled from the area before Eusine could even react. The brief encounter led Eusine to pursue Suicune, in the hopes of seeing it again one day.
+Its known moves are {{m|Aurora Beam}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}}, and {{m|Roar}}.
+=====[[Suicune (M04)]]=====
+In ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', a Suicune participated in the battle against Dark {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}. It also demonstrated its ability to purify water.

Goh {{pkmn2|caught}} Suicune in order to save and heal it. In the end, even though the hunters were arrested and Goh attempted to {{pkmn2|released|release}} Suicune, it chose to remain under his ownership while {{pkmn2|roaming}} the {{pkmn|world}}.

 ==Trivia==
-* Suicune is the only pure {{type2|Water}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Blizzard}} via level-up.
+* Suicune, along with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, was designed by [[Muneo Saitō]].<ref>Yoshida, Yuuya (May 1, 2014). [https://kai-you.net/article/5034 伝説ポケモンのイラストを手がける斉藤むねお、キャラデザ講座開講！] Kai-You.</ref><ref>(January 3, 2012). Ken Sugimori ([https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X @SUPER_32X]) [https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/154156622212640768 on Twitter]. ([https://archive.vn/WfQab archive])</ref>
-* Suicune is the only member of the legendary beast trio that does not require the [[Mystery Part and Secret Slab|Mystery Part or Secret Slab]] to appear to the player in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] as items cannot be taken into the [[Final Maze]].
+* Suicune's numbers in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] are identical: 0245 and 245, respectively.
-* Suicune's moveset was changed between {{2v|Gold|Silver|s}} and {{v|Crystal}} to remove {{m|Roar}}, as it became a stationary Pokémon. This change carried over into later games, making Suicune the only one of [[Legendary beasts|the roaming trio]] that cannot Roar its opponent away in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.  It returned to its Crystal status as a stationary Pokémon in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
+* Suicune is the only member of a [[Legendary trio]] to also be a [[game mascot]] while its fellow members are not.
-* Although Suicune is part of Johto's [[legendary trio]], it is battled in Kanto in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. {{p|Moltres}} has a similar situation, but in reverse.
+* Suicune is the only [[Shadow Pokémon]] that can have a varying moveset. Normally knowing {{m|Surf}} if [[Snagging|snagged]] in [[The Under]] or [[Realgam Tower]], Suicune instead knows {{m|Hydro Pump}} if it is snagged in [[Deep Colosseum]].
-** However, unlike Moltres, if Suicune is KO'd on {{rt|25|Kanto}}, it will return to the [[Burned Tower]] in Johto where it can be re-challenged.
-* The order that the beasts appears in the National Pokédex is the order of the events that happened at the Burned Tower: the lightning that started the fire (Raikou), the fire that consumed the Brass Tower (Entei) and the rain that quenched the fire (Suicune).
-* Suicune is often depicted in the anime and games as being extremely fast. However, it has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of the [[legendary beasts]].
-* A {{Shiny}} Suicune's mane is dark blue in the handheld games from Generation III onwards, but in the 3D games it is black.
-* Suicune's [[Gold]] and [[Silver]] sprite shows that the crest on its head is the same solor as its mane. However, this was corrected in [[Crystal]].
 ===Origin===
-Suicune is based on the Chinese and Japanese {{wp|Qilin}}, a form of {{wp|unicorn}} that has traits of deer, giraffes, and other beasts. It is able to walk on water and is known to be a powerful and peaceful creature. The horn on Suicune's head matches the description of the beast's antler's and the long dragon-like muzzle. The spots of Suicune are also significant, seeming to combine  the spots of a {{wp|leopard}}, taking homage from  {{wp|Fujin}}, the Shinto god of The North Wind, who wears leopard skin; also some species of leopards are found in Asia and are featured in myths that show it is an important and widely respected sacred animal like the Qilin. Being a Pokémon that represents the wind and rain, Suicune may also be based on Anitong Tabo, who according to the {{wp|Deities of Philippine mythology|Philippine mythology}}, was the goddess of winds and rains. Suicune also shares several of its traits with wolves, especially the {{wp|Gray wolf}}, such as its long white snout, legs, and darker body. The way Suicune is often shown howling at the sky in the anime supports this, though the clouds on its back are similar to a {{wp|Maned wolf}}'s ample fur. Suicune's cooler habitat is also reminiscent of wolves that inhabit Alaska. It also shares traits with the {{wp|Snow Leopard}}.
+When asked if Suicune was based on any particular animal, [[Muneo Saitō]] described its creation process to come together easily and fell into a motif that felt "{{wp|leopard}}-like".<ref>(January 3, 2012). Muneo Saitō ([https://twitter.com/muneondo @muneondo]) [https://twitter.com/muneondo/status/154176395826835456 on Twitter]. ([https://archive.vn/xccqr archive])</ref> This motif may have been a homage from {{wp|Fūjin}}, the Shinto god of the wind, who wears leopard skin. Its mane also looks similar to {{wp|aurora}}. Its build, crest, and ability to walk on water bear similarities to the {{wp|Qilin}}.
+{{type|Water}} Suicune corresponds to the rain that put out the [[Brass Tower]] according to its legend; at the same time {{p|Raikou}} represents the lightning that struck it, and {{p|Entei}} represents the fire that burned it.
 ====Name origin====
-Suicune's name is probably based on its Japanese name, Suikun. Suikun is likely a combination of 水 ''sui'', water, and 君 ''kun'', monarch. However, the [[Pokémon Crystal Version|game title]] it is the mascot of suggests that it may be derived from 水晶 ''suishō'', crystal.
+Suicune may be a combination of 水 ''sui'' (water), 水晶 ''suishō'' ([[Pokémon Crystal Version|crystal]]), and 君 ''kun'' (monarch).
