Suicune

Suicine is one of the three Legendary dogs (the other two being Raikou and Entei) in the games Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

In the Pokémon Anime, Suicune made a feature appearance during the movie: Voice of the Forest. It also appears in quite a few episodes, including "For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll".

Suicune also appears in Smash Bros Melee, where it uses a blizzard-looking attack (even though it's a water type) 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
