Typing: Psychic / Fire
Base Stats: 100 / 100 / 100 / 100 / 100 / 100
Ability: Victory Star: raises accuracy of Victini by 10% (I think it is 10%)
moves in BOLD are good moves for victini
victini is what I call isshu's base 600 "mascot"(mew, celebi, jirachi, shaymin)
and like mew, has a good movepool but unlike mew - it has a better ability to make use of powerful moves
overall, I can see victini being an OU pokemon since it is too good for BL/UU
and is too weak for Ubers. by itself, victni is not much of a threat but with a team that can cover it's weaknesses then you can sweep with victini well

- 100 in all stats make it balanced and effective at anything
- good ability
- powerful attacks like fire blast and thunder to abuse with it's ability
- good offensive typing
- Death gambit with base 100 HP makes it deadly
- Poor defensive typing making it tyranitar bait
- It's ability only boost's it by 10% which is not THAT good
- has no recovery move outside of rest and still, there is no sleep talk TM in 5th gen
- easily walled by blissey unless you use a choice band or use Cheer Up and then brick break
Cheer Up Sweeper
Victini @ Life orb
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpAtk / 252 Speed
Nature: Hasty
- Cheer Up
- Brick Break
- Fire Blast
- Thunder
the strategy is to use cheer up and then sweep using +1 Atk and +1 SpAtk
brick break is used instead of focus blast to hit blissey for higher damage:
+1 brick Break vs Standard WishBliss: 53.8% - 63.3%
+1 Focus Blast vs Standard WishBliss: 45.9% - 54.1%
even with 252 SpAtk EV's, focus blast is a lot weaker then brick break.
brick break is a guarrented 2HKO so blissey can not switch in on it
Choiced Physical Sweeper
Victini @ Choice Band
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed
Nature: Jolly or Adamant
- Wild Volt
- Brick Break (it does not get superpower)
- Flare Blitz
- U-Turn
this set easily takes pokemon like blissey by suprise
Choice Band Victini VS Standard WishBliss: 52.1% - 61.3%
U-turn let's it switch to another pokemon to take the hit or if the opponent has low HP and U-turn Can KO
Choiced Special Sweeper
Victini @ Choice Specs / Choice Scarf
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Speed
Nature: Timid or Modest
- Thunder
- Shadow Ball
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
victini's ability allows it to spam moves like fire blast and thunder and not worrying about it missing as much
Combine that with the choice Scarf/Choice Specs and it will do some good damage
the moveset gives it good coverage while super effecting walls like burugeru, nattorei, skarmory and vaporeon
Death Gambit Revenge Killer
Victini @ Choice Scarf
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpAtk / 252 Speed
Nature: Timid
- Death Gambit
- U-turn
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
with this EV spread, victini has 404 HP and 328 Speed
so with a choice scarf and death gambit, it can switch in after one of your pokemon are KO'ed and then OHKO them with death gambit.
also, not many pokemon put a lot of EV's into HP and unless you have more then 404 HP then you will be KO'ed.

when using victini, it is important to have a spinner since it is weak to stealth rock AND spikes
forrtress is good for this as it resist dark moves and ghost moves and also takes neutral damage to ground, rock and water
if you are using the special sweeper set then a pokemon that can easily KO blissey is good to have.
lucario can pull this off since it is immune to toxic and that way, lucario can set up when it switchs and then KO threats to victini
in ubers, groudon can help it out to use solarbeam since it is a lot better then energy ball. it also helps for a sun team
Kyogre does the same except it helps thunder's shaky accuracy and helps victini do some damage with it

Victini can use trick room but pokemon like dusknoir, uxie and cresselia can do this better
it can use a wall set with toxic, will-O-wisp or T-Wave but celebi is better at this due to having instant recovery with "recover"
Flame Bomb, victini's signiture move is good with 100 power and 100 accuracy but is weaker then fire blast and has the same PP, it's ability makes fire blast the better choice anyway

Blissey easily walls all of victini's sets unless victini is at +1 or is choiced
also, victini can not recover it's health back but blissey can with leftovers and wish
swampert resist fire blast and is immune to thunder so the only way victini can beat it is to use energy ball or grass knot which it rarely uses
Gastrodon can also do this except it has recover which makes it even easier to KO if victini does not have a grass move
latias and latios can resist thunder, focus blast, energy ball and fire blast so it needs shadow ball to do any real damage while they can strike back with +2 stab draco meteor's (+1 for the soul dew, +1 for calm mind)
in ubers, girantina (both forms) can wall it if it does not have shadow ball and and resist fire blast and thunder and are immune to focus blast
