How to Get Suicune

Use the Johto Slate in the Johto Room in Ramanas Park

Suicune can be encountered and caught exclusively in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond in Ramanas Park by using the Raikou Slate. Be sure to save your game directly in front of the pedestal if you plan on soft-resetting for a good nature.

How to Catch and Best Pokemon to Use

Suicune Encounter in Ramanas Park
Suicune	Lv.: 70	Ability: Inner Focus
	Moveset
	Extrasensory Surf Mirror Coat Rain Dance

Suicune doesn't have anything that is particularly threatening as part of its moveset that will give you trouble in catching it. If you bring enough medicine and Pokemon with natural resistances, catching it should be relatively straightforward.

Best Catcher Pokemon

Best Catcher Pokemon
Blastoise		Absol
Recommended Lv. 70+	Item: Leftovers	Recommended Lv. 70+	Item: Leftovers
Recommended Moves:		Recommended Moves:
False Swipe Yawn		False Swipe Thunder Wave

When facing Suicune, we recommend using either Blastoise with Yawn and False Swipe, or Absol with Thunder Wave and False Swipe. These Pokemon give you a reliable way to whittle down the opponent's HP as low as possible, and access to a status-inflicting move to improve catch rates.

Blastoise can be the best choice here thanks to its bulk and natural resistance to Suicune's Surf. We don't recommend Breloom due to its weakness to Extrasensory. Absol, on the other hand, is completely immune to Extrasensory but has to be wary of rain-boosted Surf.

Alternatively, Quagsire is another bulky water type with access to Yawn and can be found pretty easily in the Grand Underground. Water Absorb variants will also be able to heal off of Suicune's Surf.

Best Balls to Use

In case a Quick Ball on turn 1 did not succeed, the Net Ball is a reliable go-to ball to use instead.

If about a dozen turns have passed, you may also rely on the Timer Ball for higher success rates of capture.

List of Recommended Natures
Modest Special Attack ↑ Attack ↓	Timid Speed↑ Attack ↓

For players who intend to use Suicune to its full potential, we recommend looking for one with a Modest or Timid Nature. As a Special Attacker, it would appreciate the increase to either its Special Attack or Speed and not mind the drop in its Attack stat.
