The Tin Tower (Japanese: スズのとう Suzu Tower) is a location in Johto. In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the trainer finally comes to the Tin Tower, holding the Rainbow Wing. At this point, the player will be allowed to ascend the remaining eight levels of the tower, up to the roof, where Ho-oh itself waits. However, in Pokémon Crystal, players with a Clear Bell will be able to capture Suicune here, and only after catching each of the legendary beasts, will a trainer be able to ascend the steps above the first floor to get to Ho-oh.
History
Seven hundred years before the games' events, two nine-tier towers were built opposite each other in Ecruteak City. The towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people. The view from the top of the towers was said to be 'magnificent'.
In the west was Brass Tower, which was said to awaken Pokémon and in the east was Tin Tower, where Pokémon were said to rest, a similarity to the Hoenn region's Cave of Origin and Mt. Pyre, respectively. At the time, an immense silver-colored Pokémon, Lugia, was said to make its roost atop the Brass Tower, and the rainbow-colored Pokémon Ho-Oh was said to rest at Tin Tower.
However, around 150 years before the games, a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for 3 days. The two winged-Pokémon flew escaped to the skies unharmed. A sudden downpour put an end to the blaze.
Brass Tower was also home to the three legendary beasts: Entei, Suicune, and Raikou. When it burned down, the three beasts perished in the flames. However, when the fires were put out, Ho-Oh returned and resurrected the three and left them to guard the ruins of the newly-Burned Tower.
