Strategy Overview

Hailed as the Victory Pokemon, Victini may not seem very strong with only base 100 Attack. This little guy is not to be underestimated, however. The Movie 14 giveaway has brought to Victini two huge assets. The first is Bolt Strike, a drawback-free attack that allows Victini to zap any wayward Kyogre daring to rain on its parade. The second, and most important, is V-create. V-create is a move with staggering power—so powerful that, when backed by sun and STAB, it reaches an incredible 405 Base Power. Victini also boasts a fair number of other useful qualities, namely base 100 Speed, which is good enough to outpace most of the metagame, and solid bulk with 100 / 100 / 100 defenses. Victini also packs useful resistances to Psychic-, Fire-, Ice-, Grass-, and Fighting-type attacks, which makes it an excellent check to dangerous threats such as Mewtwo.

However, not all of Victini's traits are positive. It is vulnerable to the dreaded Stealth Rock, which makes it somewhat difficult to switch in and out repeatedly. Victini is also shackled by weaknesses to Water-, Ground-, Rock-, Ghost-, and Dark-type attacks, which can make switching it in even more trying. It is also extremely reliant on sunny weather to provide the majority of its power. Despite this, Victini is still an amazingly powerful threat that can easily nuke teams at a moment's notice.
