===Pokédex entries===
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.

==In the manga==
[[File:Misty Suicune Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Suicune in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the movie adaptations===
{{main|Suicune (M04)}}
Suicune appeared in ''{{ma|Celebi: a Timeless Encounter}}''.
 
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
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 can communicate with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}} {{m|Extrasensory|telepathically}}.
 
An ice sculpture of a Suicune appeared in [[Mahogany Town#Mahogany Gym|Mahogany Gym]] in ''[[PS143|Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa]]'', where it started to move and battled against [[Whitney]] and [[Pryce]]. It was later destroyed in ''[[PS144|Savvy Swinub]]'', were it was revealed to Whitney and the Radio Crew that Pryce uses it for battle practice.
 
==In the TCG==
{{main|Suicune (TCG)}}
 
==Other appearances==
[[File:Pokkén Suicune.png|220px|thumb|Suicune in Pokkén Tournament]]
===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
Suicune is a Standard-type playable character in Pokkén. Moves it can use include {{m|Aurora Beam}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}}, and {{m|Blizzard}}. In Burst Form, it can use the Burst Attack True {{m|Sheer Cold}}.
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]/[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|3DS/Wii U]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Suicune unleashes a blast of {{m|Blizzard}} that causes high levels of damage. Suicune returns in Brawl but with a different [[move|attack]], {{m|Aurora Beam}}.
 
Suicune reappears in the [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]] version as a [[Master Ball]] summon, using Aurora Beam.
 
====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 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. ''

====Major appearances====

[[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}}.

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==
==Trivia==
* Suicune, along with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, was designed by [[Muneo Saitō]].<ref>http://kai-you.net/article/5034</ref>
* 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}} and {{v2|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 knocked out on {{rt|25|Kanto}}, it will return to the [[Burned Tower]] in Johto where it can be re-challenged.
* Suicune's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] are the same: 245.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Suicune is thought to be based on numerous creatures and mythological deities, mainly the {{wp|Qilin}} or "Kirin", an Eastern legend that has traits of {{wp|chinese dragons}}, {{wp|unicorns}}, {{wp|deer}}, {{wp|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 {{wp|leopard}}, taking homage from {{wp|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 {{wp|Aurora (astronomy)|aurora}}.
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.
