Victini @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- V-create
- Bolt Strike
- Glaciate
- U-turn

V is for victory! Victini is a wallbreaker with high Base Power moves, using its typing to consistently pivot on Pokemon such as Corviknight and check fast offensive Pokemon such as Tapu Lele, Volcarona, and Kyurem. V-create is immensely strong. Bolt Strike is great coverage for bulky Water-types such as Slowking and Tapu Fini. Glaciate, even with a Jolly nature, can 2HKO threats such Dragonite and Garchomp. U-turn is used to catch switches to checks and pivot safely. Tapu Koko is a great partner, as it can power up Bolt Strike with Electric Terrain and break through shared checks such as Garchomp. Garchomp is able to switch into Heatran and Tyranitar well while inviting Clefable, Skarmory, and Corviknight in, giving Victini switch-in and wallbreaking opportunities. Tapu Fini can switch into Heatran and Tyranitar and cripple Toxapex and Slowking with Choice Scarf, letting Victini freely use its strongest move.

V is for victory! Victini has been rising as a nice wallbreaker and pivot, checking pokemon such as Tapu Lele and Volcarona. Bolt Strike is great coverage for bulky Water-types such as Slowking and Tapu Fini. Glaciate, even with a Jolly nature, can 2HKO threats such Garchomp. U-turn is used to pivot on Heatran and Tyranitar that would otherwise check it well. Tapu Koko is a great partner, as it can power up Bolt Strike's power to OHKO Pokemon such as Tornadus-T, and break through shared checks such as Garchomp. Buzzwole is able to pivot into Pokemon such as Ground- and Grass-type attacks from Landorus-T and Kartana, while not being susceptible to Knock Off. Tapu Fini can switch into Heatran and Tyranitar and cripple Blissey, Toxapex, and Slowking with Choice Scarf. Weavile and Urshifu-R appreciate Victini breaking down their shared checks such as Clefable and Corviknight, allowing them to break through teams much easier.

  • the main thing making victini good in this tier imo is the amount of entry that it gets because of its typing vs fairies and steels - no mention of it here tho
  • 2nd sentence is kinda weird, would prefer to describe it as a wallbreaker courtesy of its high bp moves and coverage. also nice to note that it’s an ok check to otherwise offense killers like lele kyu volc as you’ve already said, + the point above
  • no vcreate mention :c
  • can mention pult/other relevant dragons like dnite alongside garchomp for glaciate part
  • mention waters primarily in the eterrain + bolt strike part, torn is more of an afterthought as something that’s already nuked by vcreate
  • you don’t say why buzzwole or fini are actually good alongside victini
  • last sentence makes 0 sense, you’re saying that weav and shifu are good partners with each other but not relating it to vic - unless you’re trying to say that vic loses to clef and corv? idk why this is here
hmu on discord when this is implemented

V is for victory! Victini is a wallbreaker with high Base Power moves, able to use using its typing to consistently pivot on Pokemon such as Corviknight and check fast offensive Pokemon such as Tapu Lele, Volcarona, and Kyurem. V-create is a high-base power move used for Victini to wallbreak. immensely strong. Bolt Strike is great coverage for bulky Water-types such as Slowking and Tapu Fini. Glaciate, even with a Jolly nature, can 2HKO threats such Dragonite and Garchomp. U-turn is used to catch switches to checks and pivot safely. Tapu Koko is a great partner, as it can power up Bolt Strike's power with Electric Terrain to deal more damage to bulky Water-types such as Slowking, and break through shared checks such as Garchomp. Garchomp is able to switch into Heatran and Tyranitar well (RC) while inviting Clefable, Skarmory, and Corviknight in, (AC) so Victini can get giving Victini switch-in and wallbreaking opportunities. Tapu Fini can switch into Heatran and Tyranitar and cripple Toxapex and Slowking with Choice Scarf, letting Victini freely use its strongest move.
