This Pokémon brings victory. It is said that Trainers with Victini always win, regardless of the type of encounter.
– Pokemon Black Pokedex

This is the first 5th gen Pokemon I made. I wasn’t going to make Gen V Pokemon, but Pokemon Black/White just released in English, so I wanted to do something to celebrate (it released on the 6th, but I planned Celebi for that due to the end of the Celebi event).

I know nothing about Victini other than what’s been written. Its stats (being a legendary) are very high, and it can learn some pretty good moves, including its signature move V-create, which has the highest base power of any Fire type attack; it has 95% accuracy, but Victini’s ability Victory Star raises its team’s accuracy by 10% in double and triple battles. It does lower the user’s Def, Sp Def and Speed, but doesn’t affect its Attack stat, so it could be used effectively multiple times. Seems rather broken. But I guess the Pokedex entry implies that you’re supposed to win with Victini.

Its type combination is rather unique, Fire/Psychic is better defensively than the Grass/Psychic of Celebi.

Victini is quite tiny, being only a foot tall, and it seems like a third of that is its ears. While making this wallpaper, I counted 7 V-shapes on Victini, haha.
