	Victini crouches its body together and its whole body glows pale red. Its body then becomes surrounded in a teardrop-shape red flame. It also surrounds its body in a round yellow fire. Victini then fires the flame from its body at the opponent, and it shoots at the opponent like a spinning meteor.
