Suicune (Japanese: スイクン Suikun) is a Legendary Water-type Pokémon. First appearing in the Generation II games, it is said to be the embodiment of the North Wind, one of the three Legendary Beasts created by Ho-oh after the burning of Ecruteak Tower.

Suicune is pursued, both in the anime and Pokémon Crystal, by Eusine.

Suicune comes with the Ability Pressure, which causes the foe to use two PP instead of one each time it uses a move.

Suicune does not evolve, and no Pokémon evolves into it.

Other appearances

Super Smash Brothers Melee

When released from a Pokéball, Suicune unleashes a Blizzard of icy wind that causes high levels of damage.

Pokémon Special

Suicune 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 Mask of Ice to free Ho-oh. Suicune, in particular, personally challenges nearly every single Gym Leader in the two regions. During its travels, it encounters both Esuine and Crystatl, both of which become obsessed with capturing it. Crystal acquires the Crystal Bell, but is still unable to capture Suicune. She has her confidence shattered by this and has to retreat back to her old training grounds to regain her confidence. Suicune later choses Misty as its parter, but then pairs up with Crystal after all after Misty becomes injured.

Suicune can communicate with Raikou and Entei telepathically.
