'''Suicune''' ({{ja|スイクン|Suikun}}, ''Suicune'') is a ''{{uv|Pokémon}}''. It appears as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

{{pkmn|Suicune}} is a Water-type {{iw|Bulbapedia|Legendary Pokémon}} introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation II}}, and the {{iw|bulbapedia|version mascot}} of {{iw|bulbapedia|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 ''{{iw|bulbapedia|legendary beasts}}'': in {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Gold and Silver}} and their remakes {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver}} they can be found in the {{iw|bulbapedia|Burned Tower}}, however 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 {{iw|bulbapedia|Tin Tower}} (''Crystal'') or {{iw|Bulbapedia|Kanto Route 25}} (''HeartGold/SoulSilver'').

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

{{iw|bulbapedia|Aurora Beam|move}} 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'', it does not cause freezing.

;Suicune

:''This mystical aurora Pokémon constantly journeys in search of places with pure flowing water. Suicune wields the power to purify instantly any contaminated water it finds. Some say Suicune is the north wind reborn. Its strange and dramatic story is told over the course of the Crystal version of the Pokémon game.'' (''Pokémon Gold & Silver'' 10/00)

{{cquote|''It shoots a straight, horizontal beam. Thought [''sic''] the width is narrow, the beam is high-speed and powerful, and it freezes the opponent.''|cite=[https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/mball/mball10.html Pokémon Encyclopedia]|source=[[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]]}}

Suicune returns to the Smash Bros. series. 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 [[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. This survival technique requires strict timing to pull off, and the player must be very close to one ledge (left or right) and very far away from the opposite ledge before getting hit by this attack.

Touching Suicune before it attacks deals 4% [[freezing]] damage, while touching it afterwards deals 10% [[normal]] damage with a [[slash]] sound.

:''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.''

:{{flag|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!''
