There's a reason Victini has stayed relevant since Gen 5. Psychic/Fire typing and clears the crowded base-100 Speed benchmark — it checks a lot of boxes at once. 5 type weaknesses to keep in mind. Known as the Victory Pokemon.
You won't find a real weakness in Victini's stat line. It's well-rounded for the Victory Pokemon, and what it does with that depends on moveset and items. Yields 3 HP EVs, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
When it shares the infinite energy it creates, that being’s entire body will be overflowing with power.
Victini Weakness
VulnerableType-wise, Victini takes extra damage from Water, Ground, Rock, Ghost, and Dark. It resists 6 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Victini's overall bulk (100/100/100) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
You won't find Victini in any egg group. This Psychic/Fire mythical has 600 total stats and only shows up through limited events.
How to Evolve
the remaining moves gives Victini answers even while choice-locked. Choice Scarf provides speed patching through item lock, and max Attack and Speed EVs with Victorystar mean every prediction that lands hits hard.

Recommended Teammates
Most of Victini's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Overheat and Flare Blitz, but Normal and Fighting and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.

Victini is a Mythical Pokemon rated B-Tier on our tier list. At 600 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a sweeper. That 100 base HP does the heavy lifting.
Victini's biggest threats include Swampert (Water), Garchomp (Ground), and Aerodactyl (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Ghost and Dark-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Victini has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Victini doesn't evolve. As a Mythical Pokemon, it stands on its own without an evolutionary line. It's a Psychic/Fire type with 600 BST.
Victory Star is the go-to ability for Victini. It increases moves' accuracy to 1.1× for friendly Pokémon. It's Victini's only ability.
Victini is a mixed attacker — base 100 Attack and 100 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the sweeper role.
