Where to find it

• Scripted encounter (Lv. 90): Route 25.

  After the final Hall of Fame and Lance’s visit to your house in Pallet Town. See Prof. Hale and Molly release the beasts in the Burned Tower before rematching the Mt. Mortar expedition leader; winning that rematch first can permanently block them. Talk to Suicune south-east of Bill’s house on Cerulean Cape. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.

See the quest guide: Route 25: Suicune (post-game).
