Suicune (スイクン, Suicune) is a Pokémon.

Origin

Suicune's official artwork from Pokémon Crystal.

Suicune is a Water-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation II, and the version mascot of Pokémon Crystal. Suicune is categorized within the Pokédex at #245 as the "Aurora Pokémon". Along with Entei and Raikou, Suicune is part of a trio commonly referred as the legendary beasts: in Pokémon Gold and Silver and their remakes Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, they can be found in the Burned Tower, though when interacted with, they run away. In the original Pokémon Gold and Silver, Suicune starts roaming Johto like Entei and Raikou, but in Crystal and in the Generation IV remakes, it is encountered multiple times on the overworld without being fought, and is finally battled as a normal static legendary in the Tin Tower (Crystal) or Kanto Route 25 (HeartGold/SoulSilver).

Blizzard is a special Ice-type move with 110 power (120 before Generation VI) and 70% accuracy with a 10% chance of inflicting the Freeze status on the targets. It gains perfect accuracy during a hailstorm. Suicune, like most other Water-type Pokémon, can learn it by TM14, and was able to learn it naturally starting with Platinum.

Aurora Beam is a special Ice-type move with 65 base power and 100% accuracy with a 10% chance of lowering the target's Attack stat by one stage. Suicune can learn it naturally in every game starting with Crystal. Despite its portrayal in SSB4 and Ultimate, it does not cause freezing.

Suicune in Melee

Suicune is treated as a "legendary" Poké Ball Pokémon; its chance of appearing is much rarer than most of the others, and in return its attack is more powerful. Suicune uses Blizzard as its attack. A cloud of icy wind surrounds Suicune. Opponents that make contact with the cloud of wind will take 1% damage, can take damage every 11 frames, and any heavily damaged character may be briefly frozen. The attack can be DI'd downward if the player is in the soft platform with Suicune and being trapped. The player can partially dodge Suicune's attack by crouch canceling and sidestepping constantly if the attack occurs in the main platform.

Suicune has a spawn chance of 4/583.

Trophy

Suicune features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the trophies that can be collected randomly in the Trophy Lottery.

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

“ It shoots a straight, horizontal beam. Thought[sic] the width is narrow, the beam is high-speed and powerful, and it freezes the opponent. ”
—Pokémon Encyclopedia, Smash Bros. DOJO!!
Suicune in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Suicune returns in Brawl. Unlike most returning Pokémon, Suicune has been given a new attack, Aurora Beam, which fires horizontally and deals a 35%-damage blow to anyone in front of it. Suicune makes the same windup animation it had from Melee, but the ensuing attack is completely different. The attack has guaranteed one-hit KO power, but because it is also a semi-spike, characters with a grab aerial can survive by DI-ing downwards and attaching to the edge as they pass by. However, it is very difficult to perform since this attack is extremely swift and quite unpredictable. The beam is unblockable and reaches around 500 units ahead of Suicune.

Touching Suicune before it attacks deals 4% freezing damage, and touching it afterwards deals 10% normal damage with a slash sound. Contact with its body could KO below 100% in some situations, and frozen characters will have a considerably higher risk of being KO'd.

Suicune has a spawn chance of 4/586.

Suicune
An Aurora Pokémon. It has the power to instantly purify even the filthiest water. Suicune is said to be the reincarnation of the northern wind, so when it shows up, so does that wind. Suicune uses the move Aurora Beam--aurora light focused into a powerful beam. Along with inflicting damage, this attack also lowers the target's Attack power.

Suicune attacking in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Suicune reprises its role, and like all legendary Pokémon, it can be summoned by the newly introduced Master Ball. Its knockback was reduced significantly (105 → 30 base; 100 → 60 growth), removing its ability to OHKO, but Aurora Beam now keeps opponents frozen for a long time: a frozen character that falls off-stage is thus very likely to get KO'd. The beam also doesn't extend as far (500 → 400 units).

Suicune has a spawn chance of 8/975 from Poké Balls and 32/690 from Master Balls. It cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies to both games and only the base form unless noted otherwise):

  • Corneria
  • Green Hill Zone
  • Tomodachi Life
  • Tortimer Island

Trophy

Suicune's trophy appears in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, it is part of the Legend of Pokémon Gold & Pokémon Silver Trophy Box.

Suicune
NTSC A Legendary Pokémon that emerged from the ashes of the Burned Tower, Suicune is a Water-type Pokémon easily identified by its long, purple mane. In battle, it'll head toward a nearby fighter and fire an Aurora Beam all the way to the edge of the screen. If you get hit, you'll be frozen solid!
Game Boy: Pokémon Gold & Pokémon Silver (10/2000)
Nintendo DS: Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver (03/2010)
PAL Suicune is one of the Legendary Pokémon from the Burned Tower in Ecruteak City. Its mane is said to resemble an aurora floating over it. If summoned into battle, it'll make its way straight for a nearby fighter and unleash its Aurora Beam. The target, frozen in place, is unable to resist as it's blown off the stage.

Suicune using Aurora Beam.

Suicune returns as a Poké Ball summon, using Aurora Beam as it did in Smash 4. Due to changes to how freezing duration is calculated, the freezing effect is shorter than in Smash 4, but can KO heavily damaged opponents without freezing them, similar to Brawl.

Suicune has a spawn chance of 8/1463 from Poké Balls and 32/842 from Master Balls. It cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):

  • Corneria
  • Green Hill Zone
  • Tomodachi Life
  • Tortimer Island

Spirit

Suicune also appears alongside Raikou and Entei as an Ace-class primary spirit.

In Adventure Mode: World of Light, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are presumably three of the countless spirits captured by Galeem during his takeover of the universe. After Galeem's defeat, Dharkon takes control of Galeem's spirits, including Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Their spirit is located in the southwestern area of The Dark Realm.

The Spirit Battle Suicune is part of uses a Greninja puppet fighter and is fought on the Suzaku Castle stage. It is fought along Pikachu and Incineroar puppet fighters representing Raikou and Entei respectively. During the battle, the floor is made of lava, referencing how Raikou, Entei, and Suicune were initially three unknown Pokémon that perished at the fire of the Brass Tower.
