Victini (Japanese: ビクティニ Victini) is a dual-type Psychic/Fire Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Victini is a small, rabbit-like Pokémon with large, pointed ears which form the letter V. It has large, blue eyes and a round, cream-colored head, which is comparatively large compared to its small, cream body, 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. It has two pointed teeth that can be seen on its upper jaw. It also has two cream winglike tails, which allows it to fly. Though timid, it is a caring Pokémon; it will fight if its friends are in danger.
Victini is said to bring victory to the Trainer that befriends it. It produces an infinite amount of energy within itself and can share it with others by touch. It can also become invisible. As shown in White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram, it can send visions to people. It has been shown to enjoy eating macarons.
Victini is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Searing Shot. Victini is also the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move V-create by leveling up. Additionally, Victini is the only known Pokémon that can have Victory Star as an Ability.

Trivia
- Victini was first revealed in a preview for the fourteenth Pokémon movie at the end of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
- Victini's Unova Pokédex number is 000, making it the only Pokémon to legitimately have the number 000 in any Pokédex listing.
- Victini is the only Pokémon to be listed before the first partner Pokémon of its home region.
- Consequently, Victini is the only Mythical Pokémon of a later generation to appear next to a Mythical Pokémon of an earlier generation in the National Pokédex.
- In Black 2 and White 2, if Victini is taken to Liberty Garden, it will come out of its Poké Ball and dance around happily.
- Victini is the only Mythical Pokémon from Generation V to not have a form change.
- Victini appears in Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version. To use it, one must have their Egg damaged three times, then Victini hatches and behaves like a king piece in chess. When the player loses their Victini, they lose. Along with Emboar, it is the only Pokémon that has its power raised when damaged.
- Victini was added at the request of Junichi Masuda.[1][2] Masuda himself mentioned in multiple interviews that Victini is his favorite Generation V Pokémon.[2][3][4]
Origin
Victini's appearance 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 — this may ultimately be reference to "The Big Apple", one of the nicknames for New York City, which the Unova region is based on. Conceptually, it might draw inspiration from Nike, the Greek goddess of victory; or her Roman equivalent, Victoria. Its tail wings may be a reference to Nike's wings. Its Fire typing may draw from the concept of the eternal flame, given the Pokédex describes it as having infinite energy and the eternal flame has been used to represent competition and victory, such as for the Olympics. More specifically, given Victini's location on Liberty Garden (inspired by Liberty Island), it could be a personification of the torch held by the Statue of Liberty. The torch itself has a large number of symbolic associations and meanings.
Victini's "V" theme could be linked to it being introduced in Generation V, "V" being the Roman numeral for 5. "V" could also be a reference to the V sign.
Name origin
Victini is derived from victory,[2] and also possibly destiny, teeny, or tiny.
