Trivia

The moves and retreat cost of this card were misprinted onto a different Victini V card in Japan when it was first distributed as a prize at the 2022 Kyoto Champion's League tournament. This error was addressed in an apology statement uploaded to the official Japanese Pokémon Card website on December 17, 2021. It was also announced that the error print would be immediately banned across all formats and that any players who received one would have a corrected version mailed to their registered Players Club address.
