Suicune (Japanese: スイクン 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 Brass Tower.
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.
Suicune is the version mascot of Pokémon Crystal, appearing on the boxart.
Biology
Physiology
Suicune is a blue cheetah-like creature with white rhombus-shaped spots and a white underside. Suicune has two white streamer-like tails and a purple cape that resembles a northern aurora or a flowing river. Suicune has a hexagon-shaped crest on its forehead. Suicune has cat-like paws.
Gender differences
Suicune is a genderless species.
Special abilities
Suicune has the power to purify dirty water and can walk across water. Northern winds always seems to blow where ever it shows up. Because Suicune is the embodiment of the north winds, it is able to learn and use almost every attack with relation to the wind (such as Gust, Icy Wind and even Blizzard) Suicune, like the other Legendary Beasts, is also extremely fast, but, interestingly, it does not learn ExtremeSpeed naturally.
Behavior
Habitat
Since Suicune is a member of the Legendary Beast Trio, Suicune races around the land. Some say it searches for a pure reservoir. Many speculate that Suicune and the rest of the Legendary Beasts are indeed not unique species because in Pokémon 4Ever, Professor Oak speaks as if the Suicune in question was a specific Pokémon of that species.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
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 Pokémon 4Ever. 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, where it appeared in Ecruteak City after one of the Crystal Bells from the Tin Tower was destroyed.
Suicune also appears in Sinnoh in Drifloon on the Wind!.
It was a friend to two young Joys named Marnie and Paige. Suicune saved Ash and Paige.
In the manga
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 Mask of Ice to free Ho-Oh. Suicune, in particular, personally challenges nearly every single Gym Leader in the two regions. During its travels, it encounters both Eusine and Crystal, both of which become obsessed with capturing it. Crystal acquires the Crystal Bell, but is still unable to capture Suicune. She has her confidence shattered by this and has to retreat back to her old training grounds to regain her confidence. Suicune later chooses Misty as its partner, but then pairs up with Crystal anyway after Misty becomes injured.
Suicune can communicate with Raikou and Entei telepathically.

Trivia
- Suicune's sprite in Gold and Silver had a purple head piece, but was permanently changed to blue in Crystal.
- Suicune's Crystal sprite shows its lower jaw as being blue, even though it's suppose to be white. This may have been done on purpose though because Suicune's Gold and Silver sprite appears as if it were gritting its teeth rather than having its mouth closed.
- In the anime, Suicune's body color and headpiece are more of a bluish-green color, while its in-game sprites and Ken Sugimori's official artwork show Suicune's body being more of a sky blue color.
- Suicune is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon to appear in a Diamond and Pearl Episode so far.
Origin
Suicune resembles a wolf or a cheetah.
Name origin
Suicune's name is probably based off its Japanese name, Suikun. Suikun is likely a combination of 水 sui, water, and 君 kun, monarch.
