The Winstrate family (Japanese: カチヌキファミリー Kachinuki family) are a family of five who are obsessed with Pokémon battles and battling. Victor is the father, Victoria the mother, Vivi is the daughter, and Vito is the son, but he has left to challenge the Pokémon League. Grandma Vicky also lives with the family. They live in a house on Route 111, north of Mauville City.
Their surname is a pun on the phrase "straight win(s)", while all their given names play on "victory". Their Japanese surname, Kachinuki, is a play on 勝ち抜く kachinuku, to win through, which is exactly what the player must do to obtain a prize from them.
Their son, Vito, left to challenge the Pokémon League of Hoenn.

In the anime
In the episode Candid Camerupt, Ash, May, Brock, and Max were saved from the desert by the Winstrate Family. After giving them a tour of their house and yard, they decide to challenge them to a 4 on 4 battle. First, Brock battles against Victor. Brock's Mudkip is defeated by Victor's Zigzagoon as it knows Thunderbolt, a practical source of electricity.
Next, May, who uses Beautifly, fights against Victoria and her Roselia. May wins this round by using a strategy similar to that of the one she used against Drew and his Roselia in the Slateport Pokémon Contest.
In the next round, Max borrows Ash's Corphish to fight against Vivi and her Marill. Corphish defeats Marill, giving Max the win, but it is a hollow victory, as he had a crush on Vivi and she now shows no interest in him.
For the final round, Ash and Pikachu go up against Vicky and Camerupt. Team Rocket and the other Winstrate, Vito, interfere with the battle, but Vito eventually stops helping Team Rocket to save his family. The match between Pikachu and Camerupt comes to a draw, and Ash and co. go on their way.

In the games
Winstrate (Japanese: カチヌキさんち Kachinuki Family) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation III games. It refers to members of the Winstrate family. Unlike most Trainer classes, there is no determined sprite, and each of the Winstrates have the sprite of that of a different Trainer class.
According to Vivi, Vito was the best Trainer. Then Grandma Vicky, herself, her mother, and her father.
They use a Macho Brace to toughen up their Pokémon, but they'll give it to the main character of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, if they're defeated.
Vito can be battled on the bottom floor of Victory Road in between two waterfalls, while the other members of the Winstrate family can be found at the southern half of Route 111.
