Suicune (Japanese: スイクン Suicune) was the first of the Legendary beasts to appear physically. It chose to partner with Misty and later Crystal.
History
As a wild Pokémon
Suicune appeared as a beam of light in Slugging It Out With Slugma. It wasn't officially seen until Querulous Qwilfish, where it cured the baby Qwilfish Crystal had rescued and cleansed the sea water. After this event Crystal set her goal on capturing it.
In Debonaire Dragonair, Suicune began its quest to find an appropriate Gym Leader to be its Trainer for the upcoming fight with the Masked Man. It started in Blackthorn City, battling against Clair. Suicune first jumps onto her Dragonair's head. Dragonair blocks Suicune's attack with its tail, but one of the crystal balls on its tail shatters. Suicune then jumps behind Clair and creates a mist. Clair, seeing a silhouette, has Dragonair use Dragon Breath on it, but Suicune jumps out of the way. She then throws a Great Ball at it, but the Great Ball bounces off. Clair then notices her mistake of attacking the reflection and turns around to sees Suicune, who promptly uses Bubble Beam, defeating Clair.
In Scrappy Skarmory, Suicune battles against Chuck and his friend Walker. Suicune used its ability to freeze the water vapor into ice crystals and spread it around with Gust to keep the two on edge. Chuck's Poliwrath manages to get in close enough and use Strength, allowing Walker's Skarmory to attack with Swift. Although Suicune was hit, it appeared unhurt, and left after deeming them unworthy. In Misdreavus Misgivings, Suicune battled against Morty. Morty wasted no time in attacking with his Gastly's Thunderbolt to paralyze Suicune and slow it down, but is defeated when Suicune uses Mirror Coat to reflect it back, allowing it to flee.
In Suddenly Suicune I, Suicune is chased after by Crystal to the Tin Tower in an attempt to be captured. Crystal sends out all of her Pokémon and has Bonee uses Bonemerang, which is dodged by Suicune. The Bonemerang then reverses direction but it is dodged again. While distracted Parasee uses Spore and Suicune uses Gust to blow away the spores, but is still hit. Suicune jumps off the tower towards a pond, but Monlee jumps and falls past Suicune, using Mega Punch on the ground, which fractures, throwing Suicune into the air and battering it with boulders. Crystal then kicks a Heavy Ball at Suicune, hitting it. Suicune manages to break out of the ball and flees into the Tin Tower, creating a crystal wall that allows it to escape.
In Hurray for Heracross, Suicune battles against Bugsy. He sends out his two Metapod and Kakuna, and Heracross rams into Suicune, but is thrown upward. The Metapod and Kakuna all use String Shot and some sticky material comes out of Bugsy's net. He reveals that it is a Capture Net, which uses the same material as Poké Balls. Suicune starts to be pulled into a Poké Ball, but breaks the net with an Aurora Beam and flees. In Crossing Crobat, Suicune battles Janine. Janine starts by commanding her Crobat to use Leech Life. However, it is countered by Suicune's Aurora Beam just as Crobat is about to attack. Janine then commands Crobat to use Double Team, with her plan being that Suicune will not be able to determine which image of Crobat is the real one. Crobat uses Wing Attack, and to Janine's surprise Suicune is able to hit Crobat with another Aurora Beam. Suicune points out with its paw that her shadow is darker than the others because of the moonlight, allowing it to find the real one. The two then decide to give up the fight.
In Really Raikou & Entirely Entei II, Suicune shows up and joins the battle against Falkner alongside Raikou and Entei. Suicune appears behind Falkner, getting the attention of Raikou and Entei, while preparing for an attack. As Falkner throws the Poké Balls at Raikou and Entei, he senses Suicune who dashes in and uses Bubble Beam to catch the Poké Balls. Falkner then orders Skarmory to use Steel Wing on Suicune, which manages to hit it, but one of its feathers breaks in the process. Falkner then throws multiple Poké Balls, all missing. However, the balls are set up like boomerangs and come flying back. As Suicune watches as the Poké Balls fly around, it notices one coming towards it, however Raikou and Entei quickly destroy all the Poké Balls and joins Suicune on top of a rock. As Falkner watches this, Skarmory begins to fall as it lost its balance due to one of its feather having had taken damage from earlier. As they are falling, they become surrounded by a giant bubble, incapacitating him. Suicune, Raikou, and Entei leave and then have a discussion with Suicune telling them it did not find Ho-Oh at the Tin Tower. Afterwards, they leave in different directions.
In Hello, Lickitung, it was revealed by Yellow that she was the one who freed Suicune and its fellow beasts. In Buzz Off, Butterfree!, it reveals how they were stuck in the Burned Tower in Ecruteak City, where Yellow had been pulled into their trap and was able to free them. It is also revealed how the three came to be, where all three had perished in the fire 150 years prior, but were resurrected in the forms they are in now by Ho-Oh. Which is revealed that the three raced around Kanto and Johto looking for Trainers to help them defeat the Masked Man to free Ho-Oh.
With Misty
In Lovely Lanturn, Suicune battles against Misty. The two have a quick but heated battle that ends with the two falling down the Tohjo Falls waterfall. Suicune then uses Misty's Starmie psychic abilities to convey its thoughts to Misty, saying it wanted to join her for the upcoming fight due to her experience with water types and her caring nature, thus letting itself join Misty's team.
In The Last Battle IV, Suicune joins Raikou and Entei to fight the Masked Man and his Ho-Oh and Lugia. Despite putting up a good fight a crystal wall is put up due to Suicune falling sick, preventing them from continuing the fight. In The Last Battle XII, Crystal takes the three to Ilex Forest to continue the fight. It later joins Crystal to help in the final assault against the Masked Man, before returning to the wild.
At the end of the ninth chapter, Suicune is encountered by Eusine again and is chased, much to Suicune's annoyance.
Personality and characteristics
Like its fellow beasts, Suicune is loyal and holds Ho-Oh in high regards, wishing to save it from The Masked Man's control. Suicune is also thankful to Yellow for freeing them from their trap. Suicune, like the other beasts, possesses sentient intelligence, being able to tell the real Crobat during its battle against Janine and its battle tactic against the gym leaders. Suicune is also cooperative with the other beasts, having stopped the Poké Balls from reaching them in their battle against Falkner. Suicune also does care for the safety of humans and their Pokémon, having saved Falkner, his Skarmory and the Bird Keeper from falling.
Suicune is able to purify water by glowing in a flash of light, doing so can heal the sick. Suicune can also make the Crystal Wall, a barrier resembling its crest, in various sizes and once shut no one can get out of it. Suicune is able to communicate with Raikou and Entei telepathically. Suicune is also able to jump at great distances and height and at times fly. All three can also appear as a beam of light while flying. Suicune can also use its tails as extra limbs, being able to slice Poké Balls, hold onto its fellow beasts while within the Crack of Time. The three of them have also been remarked on their fast speed.
