Where to find Suicune

Game Where to find it Time Rarity
Gold Actual location varies [First you must have scaried away the three legendary Pokémon (Raikou, Entei, and Suicune) at the basement of Burned Tower, then each one will wanders around Johto. To catch them you must first find them so that you can track there current location on the map of their pokedex entry. Each time your character moves to a new area, which includes going through doors, these three legendaries each move one area ahead of where they were. These three are, by far, the most toughest to catch in the game. Good luck!] Any One
Silver Any One
Crystal Tin Tower 1F (In Crystal, you must receive the Clear Bell from the Radio Station Manager. Take the bell to Tin Tower. Near the entrance, the “Wise Trio” will challenge you to battle. If you beat all three, they will let you enter the tower to encounter Suicune. It will be easier to catch, since it wont run away from you. Remember to save before-hand!) Any One
