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. The family consists of father Victor, mother Victoria, daughter Vivi, son Vito, and grandmother Vicky. The Winstrates live in a house on Route 111, north of Mauville City. Vito isn't at home, however, as he has left to challenge the Pokémon League.
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.
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, who are found in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Unlike most Trainer classes, there is no determined sprite, and each of the Winstrates have the sprite of that of a different Trainer class. The Winstrates challenge passing Trainers to a string of successive Pokémon battles. If they can be defeated, they will yield the Macho Brace they use to toughen up their Pokémon.
According to Vivi, Vito was the best Trainer, followed by Grandma Vicky, herself, her mother, and her father. Vito can be battled on the bottom floor of Victory Road in between two waterfalls near the end of the game, while the other members of the Winstrate family can be found at the southern half of Route 111.

- (calling inside) "Hey, all! I've found a pretty strong Trainer!"
- Inside the house
- "You're the first Trainer I've seen who deploys Pokémon so masterfully. But, I should tell you--my son is stronger than you. He even took the Pokémon League challenge, I'll have you know."
- Victoria
- Before battle
- "Oh, my goodness! Aren't you young? You must be quite the Trainer to defeat my husband, though. It's my turn to battle now!"
- Being defeated
- "Oh, gosh! I can't get over how strong you are!"
- After being defeated
- (calling inside) "There's a strong Trainer here! This one's really strong!"

In the anime
In the episode Candid Camerupt, Ash, May, Brock, and Max were lost in the desert and saved by the Winstrate family. After giving them a tour of their house and yard, they decided to challenge them to a 4 on 4 battle. First, Brock battled against Victor. Brock's Mudkip was defeated by Victor's Zigzagoon as it knows Thunderbolt.
Next, May, who used Beautifly, fought against Victoria and her Roselia. May won this round by using a strategy similar to that of the one she used against Drew's Roselia in the Slateport Pokémon Contest.
In the next round, Max borrowed Ash's Corphish to fight against Vivi and her Marill. Max ordered Corphish to go easy on Marill but Corphish ignored him and viciously attacked Marill, causing an instant knock out. This gave Max the win, but it was a hollow victory, as he had a crush on Vivi and because of that loss she no longer showed interest in him.
For the final round, Ash and Pikachu went up against Vicky and Camerupt. Team Rocket and the other Winstrate, Vito, interfere with the battle, but Vito eventually stopped Team Rocket. The match between Pikachu and Camerupt ultimately ended in a draw, and the group eventually went on their way.

When it was Vivi's turn to battle, she used her Marill against Ash's Corphish that was temporarily given to Max. Due to Corphish not following Max's commands and battling more fiercely than Max had wanted, Marill quickly lost. The harsh defeat of her Pokémon in battle caused Vivi to lose interest in Max.
None of Marill's moves are known.

Camerupt was first seen going up to Ash and his friends in a desert after they fell from exhaustion. It took them to the Winstrate family who eventually challenged Ash and his friends to a battle. A few rounds later when it was Vicky Winstrate's turn, she used this Camerupt against Pikachu. Camerupt lost its temper after being hit by an Iron Tail in the face. The battle had to be stopped as Camerupt started to go on a rampage using Eruption in the process. With no choice, Vito called out his Alakazam to use Rain Dance to calm Camerupt. Even though the battle was canceled, Ash was still declared the winner. When the group was leaving, Camerupt used an Eruption again, but now as a way of saying farewell.

Trivia
- The way the Winstrate family is challenged is similar to the way the player challenges the Elite Four in the games.
- Apparently, the German, Italian and Spanish translations of Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald didn't catch on Vito's relationship to the Winstrate family, as he's given a name that breaks from the family naming pattern in all of them.
