Victini is a special legendary Pokémon that is notable for having been assigned the number of "zero" in the Unova Pokédex due to its importance. It was introduced in Pokémon: Black and White Versions, but could only be obtained within the games using an item gained from a Nintendo event.

Information

Victini is a small Pokémon that is said to bring victory. A trainer with a Victini is said to always win, no matter what. This effect may be to the fact that it creates an unlimited amount of energy within its body, which it shares with those that touch it. Thus, the power which it radiates empowers other people. This has made Victini the object of Pokémon trainers throughout the world. Victini is also mentioned as having a "cruel fate", although this might be referring to the people who are always hounding it.

Within the backstory of Black/White, it was mentioned that a very rich family established Liberty Garden 200 years ago. This rich person hid Victini away from the world in an underground room. It is uncertain whether this was done for selfish and selfless reasons, as hiding Victini kept it away from those who would misuse it. During the time of Black and White, Team Plasma attacks Liberty Garden in an attempt to capture Victini. Black/White defeats them (as long as they were able to get to the island from Castelia City by using the Liberty Pass), and then either defeats or captures Victini. Professor Juniper then explained some of Victini's background and said that it was labeled as number "zero" in the Unova Pokédex in hopes that Victini's power to bring victory would be shared with a Pokédex holder.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Black and White, Victini could only be caught in Liberty Garden, which could only be reached if the player had the Liberty Pass that was distributed via Nintendo Wi-Fi.

Trivia

• Its name seems to be a play on "victory".
