Suicune (Japanese: スイクン Suikun, German, French: Suicune, Korean: 스이쿤 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.

It has appeared a few times in the anime. Its first appearance is in the episode Don't Touch that 'Dile when Ash, Misty, and Brock spot Suicune in the middle of lake. When it spots the group, it runs off. The first significant and lengthy appearance of Suicune is in the Pokémon 4Ever movie. In the course of the movie, it demonstrated its ability to purify water, as well as doing battle with Dark Celebi. Another significant appearance is in the episode For Ho-oh the Bells Toll, it appeared in Ecruteak City after one of the Crystal Bells from the Tin Tower was destroyed. 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.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Emerald
Suicune embodies the compassion of a pure spring of water. It runs across the land with gliding elegance. It has the power to purify dirty water.

Nsider's Pokemon Forum Group called The Legendary Researchers believe though man made towers for Ho-oh and Lugia, one was destroyed accidentally by the uncontrolled powers of Lugia, and they fled, and Lugia descended to the darkness of the Whirl Islands. So it was that when humans returned to the site and looked for Ho-oh and Lugia, they did not return, and the humans were greatly saddened. So they made sacred this site, and eventually Ho-oh returned, searching for noble humans to create peace between man and Pokemon. Under the burned tower were discovered three beasts, the reincarnations of the thunder, the volcano, the north winds, symbols of the destructive forces of nature. Ho-oh had saved these beasts from the destruction, and given them elemental powers greater than they had ever known so that they could help Ho-oh in maintaining peace between humans and Pokemon, and now they leapt forth to roam the earth.

And it is said that whenever a volcano emerges from the ground, a thundercloud gathers, or a cold wind blows out of the north, another of these beasts is born, but these cannot match the power and grandeur of the first three beasts, who sleep under the burned tower and awake only when Ho-oh needs their help.

Evidence from Episode: For Ho-oh the Bells Toll and Pokedex descriptions. Also based off facts.

Name origin

Suikun's name is likely a combination of 水 sui, water, and 君 kun, master.
