The North Wind in Shining Form
Suicune ★ is the crown jewel of the beasts trio, consistently commanding the highest price. The Aurora Pokémon has always been the fan favorite — featured prominently as Pokémon Crystal's mascot and starring alongside the Crystal Tower in the fourth movie.
Fukuda's shiny Suicune artwork is widely regarded as one of the best in the series. The coloration transforms standard blue-and-purple into a striking lighter blue with hints of grey, and the flowing mane cascades beyond the card frame with an elegance that perfectly captures Suicune's graceful nature.
As card #115 of 115, Suicune follows the Gold Star tradition of occupying the final slot in each expansion. Among budget-conscious collectors, the beasts trio is often the starting point, and Suicune is typically the last acquired due to its price premium.
