(Japanese: ビクティニ Victini) is a dual-type Psychic/Fire legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Victini is a small, rodent-like Pokémon. Its large, pointed ears are shaped like the letter V, possibly for its name. Its head is comparatively large for its small body, and cream-colored, while the tops of its ears and extremities are all orange. Its arms and legs are rounded to make a sort of "cuff" before ending with small hands and feet. Victini has two tails which appear to be winglike.

Gender differences

Victini are a genderless species.

Special abilities

Victini are said to bring victory to the Trainer that owns it. It produces infinite energy within itself and shares it with others by touching them.

Victini is the only Pokémon that can use the move Ball of Flame, as well as V-Generate.

In the anime

Major appearances

Victini made an appearance at the end of the thirteenth movie as a preview for the fourteenth, with an advertisement of "see you next year".

• Victini is the only legendary Pokémon of a later generation to appear next to legendary Pokémon of an earlier generation in the National Pokédex.
• Victini is the only Pokémon to be listed before the starter Pokémon of its native region.

Origin

Victini's appearance, especially in its shiny form, seems to be based on うさぎリンゴ usagi-ringo, a method of cutting apple slices to make them look similar to rabbits. Conceptually, it might draw inspiration from Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, or Victoria, the Roman equivalent of Nike.

Name origin

Victini possibly comes from victory, destiny, and teeny.
