Hi! V-create hurts.
[Overview]
- V-create.
- Great ability that boosts you and your partners accuracy.
- Stat distribution gives it solid bulk and good offensive stats.
- Super good physical movepool
- Can even work in Trick Room.
[SET]
name: All-Out Attacker
move 1: V-create
move 2: Bolt Strike
move 3: Zen Headbutt / U-Turn
move 4: Protect
item: Life Orb / Fire Gem
nature: Jolly / Adamant
evs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
- Boosted V-create.
- Bolt Strike hits Water-types hard.
- Zen Headbutt is for additional STAB, but U-Turn can be used to switch out safely.
- Protect is staple on any offensive Pokemon in Doubles
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- EVs will optimize Victini's power and Speed to nab KOs
- Jolly for speed, Adamant for power, but misses out on Genesect and others.
- Brick Break could be used to hit Heatran and Tyranitar.
- Charcoal and E-belt are options to consider.
- Loves speed control; Cresselia, Thundurus and Togekiss are great partners for it.
- Rotom-W or Gastrodon make great partners, as it can check rain teams fairly well, making room for Victini.
- Breloom and Hitmontop make great partners too, as they deal with Rock-types well.
- Pokemon with Sunny Day or Ninetales makes V-create ridiculously powerful.
- Pairs well with Hail teams; provides a check to Fire- and Fighting-types that are problematic for most Hail teams
[SET]
name: Trick Room
move 1: Trick Room
move 2: V-create
move 3: Bolt Strike / Zen Headbutt
move 4: Protect
item: Iron Ball / Life Orb / Fire Gem
nature: Brave
evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
ivs: 0 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
- Trick Room works well in tandem with V-create's speed drops.
- Allows Victini to fill a small supportive role
- V-create
- Bolt Strike will hit bulky water types hard, making it the preferred option.
- Zen Headbutt can provide extra STAB coverage.
- Protect
- Since running Offensive Trick Room, maximum HP and Attack will allow for optimal Trick Room sweeping capabilities.
- U-Turn is an option to switch in a Trick Room sweeper after Victini has set it up.
- Amoonguss is a great partner for Victini, as it helps it set up Trick Room, and can abuse said Trick Room very well itself.
- Pokemon that have trouble dealing with Steel types and are slow now have much less of a problem with sweeping in Trick Room; Tyranitar, Escavalier and Scizor.
- Gastrodon synergizes nicely, as Victini and Gastrodon together check all 4 weathers quite well.
- Gastrodon also helps with Rain – Rotom-W and Breloom are more offensive checks to Rain if you want that.
- Fighting- and Water-typed Trick Room sweepers, such as Scrafty and Jellicent help a lot with dealing with Victini's main counters in Rhyperior, Tyranitar and Chandelure in Trick Room.
- Even better partner for Hail teams than the first set, as HailRoom is a popular anti-meta archetype.
[Other Options]
- CHOICE BAND VICTINI INQUISITION - especially good if you have excessive Speed control
- Choice Scarf can work if your team has less Speed control.
- A special attacking set using its great special movepool.
- Mixed is therefore also an option.
- Helping Hand and Glaciate could make it a potential offensive supporter.
- Taunt is an option for dealing with opposing Trick Room and shutting down annoying foes such as Whimsicott and Cresselia.
- Thunder Wave might be an option with Victini's solid bulk, and working well in tandem with V-create.
- Sunny Day to flip off the toed.
- Flame Charge to boost Speed and hit ok hard at the same time.
- Final Gambit. KAMIKAZE MODDAFUKKA!
- Shuca Berry or Passho Berry take advantage of Victini's solid bulk, but missing an item boost is usually a bad idea.
[Checks and Counters]
- Swift Swim spam
- Ground-types faster than it can threaten with an EQ OHKO; Garchomp, and Excadrill in Sandstorm.
- Darkrai can outspeed and OHKO the fast set, but needs Modest nature or Dark Gem to KO the TR setter Tini.
- Rock-types resist its STAB move, and hits back super effectively with the STAB move of choice: Tyranitar, Rhyperior, and Terrakion most notably.
- Heatran and Chandelure
- Latios and Latias
- Intimidate Pokemon such as Hitmontop and Landorus-T can neuter Victini a bit, but most of those Pokemon take severe damage from V-Create. Gyarados resists V-Create, and can therefore easily switch in, but should be wary of Bolt Strike.
