Suicune (スイクン, Suikun) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise. It appears as an Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

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 attack 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, 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's attacks do not harm the summoner.

As a trophy

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

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)

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

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.

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.
