Trivia
- Prior to Generation V Suicune was the only non-Template:Type2 to learn Blizzard through level-up, but only in Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Prior to its release, all Pokémon that could learn Blizzard by leveling up were at least part-Template:Type2. In Generation V, it was joined by Castform.
- However, Castform can transform into Ice-type.
