Strategy Overview

Fire

Choice Band Victini is a fantastic sun wallbreaker on Fire teams due to its STAB V-create, which is near impossible to switch into and 2HKOes Fire-resistant walls like Toxapex and Slowbro in sun. Its threat is bolstered by Victini's decent natural Speed, allowing it to threaten nearly all defensive Pokemon. With Bolt Strike, Victini helps Fire in Flying and Water matchups, dealing with slower Flying- and Water-type Pokemon that can handle V-create outside of sun such as Moltres, Mantine, Toxapex, and Slowbro. Victini's ability to generate momentum with U-turn is yet another asset for Fire teams. However, a ton of offensive threats such as Terrakion, Blacephalon, and Zygarde-10% can outspeed and OHKO Victini with their STAB attacks. While V-create is a powerful STAB attack, its resulting stat drops make Victini vulnerable to even more threats such as Mamoswine, Tapu Lele, and Choice Specs Zapdos.
