Biology

Victini, known as the Victory Pokémon, is a small, rabbit-esque Pokémon that has large, pointed ears that form the letter V. It has large, blue eyes, and a round, cream-coloured head that is comparatively large compared to its small, cream body, while the tops of its ears, crest, and extremities are all orange.

Its bulbous arms and legs are rounded to make a sort of "cuff" before ending with small, three-fingered hands and two-toed feet. It has two pointed teeth that can be seen on its upper jaw. It also has two cream winglike tails, which allow it to fly.

Although Victini is timid, it is a caring Pokémon, as it will fight if its friends are in danger. Victini is said to bring victory to the Trainer that befriends it no matter the matchup. It produces an infinite amount of energy within itself and can share it with others just by touching them, making their bodies overflow with power. It can also become invisible.

Design & origin

Victini was created by Junichi Masuda, who stated the concept came from the idea that "Pokémon can lead you to victory". It was designed by Mana Ibe under Masuda's instructions that it would be more appealing to women than men, and its V-shaped head, attributed to Masuda, was meant to convey to the player that it would bring them luck. Its name derives from the words "victory" and "tiny".
