Suicune (Suikun)
Suicune is a Pocket Monster from the Pokémon series that first appeared in the Generation II game series, Gold, Silver and Crystal. Suicune is also the mascot for the Crystal version as seen on the boxset and has a slightly increased role in Crystal.

Pokédex Entries
Entries straight from the game dexes. The general idea here is that Suicune is the embodiment of the North Wind and has the ability to purify water.
Gold, Pokémon Stadium 2, Leaf Green
Said to be the reincarnation of north winds, it can instantly purify filthy, murky water.

This Pokémon races across the land. It is said that north winds will somehow blow whenever it appears.
Crystal
This divine Pokémon blows around the world, always in search of a pure reservoir.
Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald
Suicune embodies the compassion of a pure spring of water. It runs across the land with gracefulness. This Pokémon has the power to purify dirty water.
Diamond and Pearl
It travels across the world to purify polluted water. It moves together with the north wind.
Location
As one of the legendary beasts, Suicune races across the land. In Crystal this holds true, but eventually you can find Suicune in the Tin Tower.
