      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      ⚔️ Raids

      Victini is a Psychic- and Fire-type Mythical Pokémon, and a pretty great one at that.

      It’s a decent Psychic-type raid attacker when using Confusion and Psychic.

      However, it’s even better as a Fire-type raid attacker, using Quick Attack and V-Create!

      As a Psychic-type raid attacker, Victini is strong against Fighting- and Poison-type Pokémon.

      As a Fire-type raid attacker, it counters Bug-, Grass-, Steel-, and Ice-types.

      While Victini can perform both roles well, if you want to save TMs, it is recommended to use Victini as a Fire-type raid attacker.

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🔵 Great League

      While Victini isn’t a top-tier Pokémon in the open meta, it excels in certain limited formats, such as the Psychic Cup, where its neutral Fire damage makes it devastating.

      🟡 Ultra League

      Victini is rarely used in Ultra League and does not see much play in this format.

      🟣 Master League

      Although Victini can technically be used in the Master League, it pales in comparison to other Legendaries and Mythicals that dominate the meta.

      Mega Pokémon that boost Victini

      Photobomb

      A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Victini's Psychic and Fire-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Victini.

      Psychic Psychic

      Fire Fire

      Pokédex informationMore information

      Mega and Primal Raid BonusMega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

      Mega and Primal Catch BonusWhile a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

      Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
      • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                Catch probability with multiple throws

                In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Victini, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                Catch rate formula

                Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
