Strategy Overview
Victini's extremely strong V-create along with its wide variety of coverage moves to break through V-create switch-ins make it a decent wallbreaker in the tier. Bolt Strike and Glaciate lets it hit Slowking, Tapu Fini, Landorus-T, and Garchomp and give it unresisted coverage in conjunction with V-create. Victini's typing and decent bulk allow it to offensively check Tapu Lele, Scizor, Volcarona, and Calm Mind Clefable, and it offers utility as a pivot with U-turn. However, Victini is heavily reliant on V-create to properly wallbreak because running Heavy-Duty Boots sacrifices a power-boosting item, and the move's stat drops let foes easily revenge kill it. Victini needs good prediction to get the most out of it, and its Speed tier lets faster threat like Weavile, Dragapult, and Zeraora revenge kill it, though it is fast enough to dissuade other threats like Landorus-T and Urshifu-R.
