Suicune (スイクン, Suikun in Japanese language versions) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

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 effect is more powerful. Suicune uses Icy Wind as its attack. A cloud of icy wind surrounds Suicune. Any character that makes contact with the cloud of wind will take damage. A heavily damaged character may also freeze if contact is made. Suicune's attacks do not harm the summoner.

As a trophy

Suicune features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:

Suicune

This mystical aurora Pokémon constantly journeys in search of places with pure flowing water. Suicune wields the power to instantly purify 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)

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Suicune returns to the Smash Bros. series. Unlike most returning Pokemon, Suicune has been given a new attack, which acts as a powerful beam of ice that strikes any enemy in front of it. The attack has been confirmed in DOJO!! to be Aurora Beam. Suicune makes the same windup animation it had from Melee, so players should remember that its attack is different, and avoid being hit by the Aurora Beam when they were expecting Icy Wind. When a player is hit, they stay hit for the rest of the attack's duration. And since the Aurora beam pushes the player off the screen and ends with a huge amount of knock-back, this attack is also a One-hit KO. Suicune was both buffed and nerfed from Melee to Brawl. Buffed for a new and more powerful attack although nerfed for a very poor chance of hitting the opponent and the attack goes horizontally instead of surrounding Suicune (although it can cause damage if anyone hits Suicune it any direction).
