====Zoroark: Master of Illusions====
Zoroark, with its ability, Illusion, took the form of Suicune (Along with Entei and Raikou) to cause an uproar in Crown City so that Kodai can freely look for the Ripple of Time.
Shiny counterparts of the Legendary Beasts were guardians of Crown City, coming to aid Crown City in times of need. A Shiny Suicune came to Crown City with the other guardians to stop Zoroark (Which they thought was the enemy), but the trio were stopped by wild Pokémon that defended Zoroark, convincing the trio that Zoroark was not evil. The guardians later scared off Kodai after the Ripple of Time was revealed to be an illusion by Zoroark.

===Origin===
When asked if Suicune was based on any particular animal, Muneo Saitō described Suicune's creation process to come together easily and fell into a motif that felt "leopard-like".https://archive.vn/WfQabhttps://archive.vn/xccqr This maybe a tribute to Fujin (the Japanese God of the Wind, complimenting Suicune's nickname as the "North Wind") who wore a leopard skin. 
However, it also has some wolf-like traits as well, with a longer muzzle and lither body than its more feline brethren. The "horn" on its head and power to purify water also gives the impression it could have some influence.
Also, Suicune could be based on the yokai Suiko, or "water tiger", as it has many tiger-like characteristics.
===Etymology===
Suicune may come from sui (water), suisho (crystal), and kun (monarch). 
Suicune's English spelling coincidentally appears similar to the word sluice, referring to a gate that controls a water channel, and can also refer to the act of rinsing and splashing cold water onto something and has purification and cleansing meaning to it, from gold prospecting to the removal of waste from hospitals.
