Suicune (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

}}

Suicune is pursued in the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Pokémon Adventures|manga]], {{game|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} by [[Eusine]].

==Biology==

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. 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}}. [[DP028|In the anime]], Suicune is shown to be heroic, serious, and calm during dangerous situations.

===In the movie adaptations===

===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}}.

==In the TCG==

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===

===[[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}}.

====Melee 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."''

'''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! ''
