How to Get Victini in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
Victini can't be caught in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Bring it over from Black instead. The encounter info below covers the source games.
Victini Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Victini is a Mythical Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 600 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a sweeper. Vcreate with Choice Scarf is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
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 leaning toward the physical side (base 100 Attack). Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the sweeper role.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the best way to handle Victini: Priority moves (Mach Punch, Aqua Jet, Ice Shard) bypass its speed. Bulky walls that resist its STAB also shut it down.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Victini shows up in 7 games across 6 generations. Mythical status keeps it locked behind events or specific story content in most appearances.
