Victini (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 or the generation it was introduced in. Its round head is comparatively large for its small body, and cream-colored, while the tops of its ears, crest, and extremities are all orange. Its bulbous arms and legs are rounded to make a sort of "cuff" before ending with small, three-fingered hands and two-toed feet. Victini has two feathered 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 learn the moves Ball of Flame and V-Generate.

Trivia

  • Victini was first shown in a preview for the 14th Pokémon movie at the end of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
  • Victini's Unova Pokédex number is 000, making it the first Pokémon to legitimately have the number 000 in any Pokédex listing.
  • Not including Forme changes, Victini is the only Pokémon to have the type combination of Psychic/Fire.
  • Victini is the only Pokémon to be listed before the starter Pokémon of its native region.
    • Consequently, Victini is the only legendary Pokémon of a later generation to appear next to legendary Pokémon of an earlier generation in the National Pokédex.
  • Although Victini has a Shiny sprite, Pokémon Black and White are programmed so that a Shiny Victini cannot be encountered.
  • Victini is the only legendary Psychic-type Pokémon that cannot learn Calm Mind.
  • According to an IGN interview, Victini is Junichi Masuda's favorite Pokémon.[1]

Origin

Victini's appearance, both its normal and shiny form alike, 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, winged goddess of victory, or Victoria, the Roman equivalent of Nike. Its tail wings may be a reference to Nike's wings. It also resembles the Fennec Fox.

Name origin

Victini possibly comes from victory, destiny, and teeny. It may also derive from "vixen", meaning female fox, due to its resemblance to the Fennec Fox.
