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.
Suicune is the game mascot of Pokémon Crystal, appearing on the boxart.
Suicune is pursued in the anime, manga, Pokémon Crystal, and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver by Eusine.
Biology
Suicune is a slim, quadruped, 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 that resembles the antlers of a Qilin 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. 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 appeared as a beam of light in Slugging It Out With Slugma. In Querulous Qwilfish, it had cured the baby Qwilfish Crystal had rescued and cleansed the sea water. In Really Raikou & Entirely Entei I, it joined Raikou and Entei against Falkner and afterwards talked with them about Ho-oh. In a flashback in Hello, Lickitung, 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 Masked Man to free Ho-Oh. Suicune, in particular, personally challenges many of the Gym Leaders in the two regions. During its travels, it encounters both Eusine and Crystal, both of which become obsessed with capturing it. Eusine acquires the 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 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.
In Miltank Melee, a Ditto transformed into a Suicune to distract Crystal and Eusine while Ken, Al and Harry surrounded the real one. Ditto's flexibility was able to grab both of them, but Crystal managed to escaped with her Monlee and defeated the Ditto.
In Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa, an ice sculpture of a Suicune started to move in Mahogany Gym and battled Whitney and Pryce. In Savvy Swinub, it was destroyed but Pryce was revealed to still use it for battle practice.

Trivia
Origin
Suicune is thought to be based on numerous creatures and mythological deities, mainly the Qilin or "Kirin", an Eastern legend that has traits of Chinese dragons, unicorns, deer, 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 leopard, taking homage from 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 aurora.
Name origin
Suicune may be a combination of 水 sui (water) and 君 kun (monarch). The game title it is the mascot of suggests that it may derive from 水晶 suishō (crystal).
