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.
Raises the foe's PP usage.
Protects it from flinching.
Restores HP if hit by Water moves.
This Pokémon does not evolve.
Note, you can always call Professor Elm with the Pokemon you are trying to evolve as first in your party. If the information on this page seems incorrect, please try calling Elm (and preferably let me know too!!)
You must progress through Sucicune's storyline (Cianwood → Route 42 → get Clear Bell → Tin Tower) and catch the other two Legendary Dogs (Raikou and Entei) before you can encounter Suicune!
