Pokédex Entry

Aurora Pokémon

This divine Pokémon blows around the world, always in search of a pure reservoir. Suicune doesn't roam like Entei and Raikou do. You chase it through a mini storyline - Cianwood, then Route 42, then finally Tin Tower once you have the Clear Bell. Makes it way easier to catch since you can just save before the fight. Suicune is bulky! The classic set is Calm Mind, Scald, Ice Beam, and Rest. You set up a few Calm Minds and you're golden. Scald's burn chance is great for physical attackers trying to break through. Remember, every Legendary will have 3 perfect IVs when caught.
