Suicune is one of the three Legendary dogs (the other two being Raikou and Entei) in the games Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal.
Suicune also appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee, where it uses a blizzard-looking attack (which most water types can learn) to temporarily freeze enemies, it can get pretty effective on heavy/damaged enemies, but like in the pokémon games, seeing it is a pretty rare occurrence
