The '''Clear Bell''' (Japanese: '''{{j|とうめいなスズ}}''' ''Transparent {{wp|Suzu}}'') is a [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Along with the [[Rainbow Feather]], it is one of the [[legendary artifacts]] associated with {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
In [[Pokémon Crystal]], the Clear Bell is given by a person in the [[Johto Radio Tower]]. It allows the player to battle {{p|Suicune}} at the top of [[Tin Tower]]. Suicune will not flee and the player will be unable to leave as well.


== In the anime ==
==In the core series games==
In the anime, Crystal Bells were said to announce the coming of {{p|Ho-Oh}}. They were stolen and broken by [[Team Rocket]] which precipitated the events of ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]''.

The bells appear to have magical properties as the Pokémon were able to sense that they were stolen.

In {{game|Crystal}}, it allows the {{player}} to meet {{p|Suicune}} on the first floor of the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], where, unlike [[Legendary beasts|its brethren]], it will not [[Roaming Pokémon|flee]], and the player must defeat or capture it.


The bells were also built in a way that they cannot be rung by force. How it is made that way is still unknown.
====Generation IV====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold}}, it is the type of bell that are installed on [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Bell Tower]]. The item combines with the power of the [[Rainbow Wing]] and the dance of the [[Kimono Girl]]s to summon Ho-Oh to the Bell Tower.


It remains unclear whether the Clear Bell and the Crystal Bells are different items, as the Crystal Bells announce the coming of {{p|Ho-oh}}, while the Clear Bell summons {{p|Suicune}}. However, the destruction of the Crystal Bells did summon Suicune to the Tin Tower.
While Suicune takes a particular interest in the player once more, it is not involved with the Clear Bell whatsoever. In Pokémon SoulSilver, its purpose is replaced by the [[Tidal Bell]]. Much like how the Tidal Bell is not required in HeartGold to encounter {{p|Lugia}}, with the Pokémon appearing with just the [[Silver Wing]] obtained in [[Pewter City]], the Clear Bell is not required in SoulSilver to encounter Ho-Oh.

The Clear Bell, called the "Invisible Bell" in the Chuang Yi translation, was given to the Team Rocket Elite Trio by the Masked Man for their Suicune capture operation, its power allowing its holder to bypass the crystal walls that Suicune can create to defend itself. After their attempt to capture Suicune had been foiled by Crystal and Eusine, Eusine took the Clear Bell from the trio in Suddenly Suicune (Part 2). In the next chapter, he used it to bypass the crystal wall Suicune had set up at the Tin Tower and rescue Crystal from inside it.

Fortunately, Eusine soon appeared, using his Clear Bell to save Misty. Despite him possessing the Clear Bell, however, Suicune chose Crystal as its new partner afterwards, much to Eusine's dismay.

  • In Korean Gold and Silver, Teru-sama ID 0x46 is labeled 크리스탈방울 Clear Bell to match the name of the actual Clear Bell item ID in Pokémon Crystal and Pokémon Stadium 2, despite those games not being released in Korean.
