Pokemon #1-Victini




So as first official post on the Blog I will start with the Pokemon with dex number 000,Victini.
Victini is a Pokemon that was introduced in Generation 5 (Black,White).It is said that Victini will always bring victory to its trainer.
I have to admit.Victini is a very cool Pokemon.Not only because of its Pokedex description but also because of its amazing battling capabillities.Victini is the first Fire and Psychic type,a very offensive type,with great STABs and a great movepool.It's stats can support both a physical attacking or a special attacking set,as it comes with 100 base on both Attack and Special Attack.Also it's speed is 100 base,so it can really support its offensive stats.The defenses of Victini are 100 each(HP,Defense,Special Defense),which are great to support a sweeping set,but its movepool cannot really support a defensive set,so I will mainly focus on offensive sets and strategies.Victini comes with the ability Victory Star which boosts the accuracy of the moves by 10%,really useful if you use inaccurate moves such focus blast,fire blast,thunder,etc..

Special Sweeper
-Fire Blast/OverHeat
-Psychic
-Thunder
-Focus Blast
Item:Life Orb/Choice Specs
Ability:Victory Star
EVs,Nature:
252 Special Attack,252 Speed,4 HP
Modest(+Sp.Att,-Att)/Timid(+Speed,-Att)

A very standard special sweeper Victini.Fire Blast is your main STAB move,while you can go with OverHeat for some extra power,but with either move you will hit everything really hard.Psychic is your other STAB,and is here only when you can't hit with your fire moves.Thunder is great in this set as it gets its accuracy boosted from Victory Star and it can really hit hard Water types that like to switch in to Victini.Finally,focus blast can work here nicely as it is also get its accuracy boosted from Victory Star,still having that annoying low accuracy though,and can hit hard for super effective damage.

Physical Sweeper
-Flare Blitz
-U-Turn
-Wild Charge
-Zen Headbutt
Item:Choice Band/Choice Scarf/Life Orb
Ability:Victory Star
EVs,Nature:
252 Att,252 Speed,4 HP
Adamant(+Att,-Sp.Att)/Jolly(+Speed,-Sp.Att)

Kind of an unusual set here.Unusual,not useless.People from my experience prefer the special set just because they have a biggest variety to choose from,but this set also works good.Flare Blitz is your most powerful move as its your STAB.U-Turn is there so you can scout,if it is early game and also to land super effective damage on some usual Dark and Psychic type Pokemon that go around these days.Wild Charge is great to hit  
water types that like to come in and sponge Victini's STAB fire moves.Zen Headbutt is your only physical Pshychic STAB and is very useful as it gets the accuracy boost from the ability and can hit nicely for super effective damage

Mixed Sweeper
-U-Turn/Fire Blast/Overheat
-Fire Blast/Overheat/Flame Charge
-Thunder/Energy Ball
-Phychic/Psyshock
Item:Life Orb
Ability:Victory Star
EVs,Nature:
252 Speed,126 Att,130 Sp.Att
Naive(+Speed,-Sp.Def)

This is probably the most difficult set to use but one of my favourites.Flame Charge is an intresting choice,if you really want to sweep with Victini,these speed boosts are very cool while you hit with STAB fire.U-Turn is there for scout.Fire Blast or Overheat is there if you decide that you don't want to do crazy things with Flame charge and want some real fire power and some strong STABs.Thunder is great on Victini as I said before as it gets boosted from Victory Star.Energy Ball is a choice but..a rare choice if you really despise Swampert.Phychic can deal a lot of damage being STAB and quite high powered.Psyshock is a cool move being special but hitting physical,but I personally prefer psychic.

Counters
When you meet a Victini.most of the times is a sweeper,so you know its gonna fall easily.Pokemon that can survive a hit or two can easily counter Victini.Zapdos is good choice,the bulky set,being able to survive with ease one or two hit and 2 hit KO with ThunderBolt.Drizzle Politoed,the choice scarf set, is a great option against Victini as it can switch on a fire move,take it,and then OHKO with Hydro Pump or Surf.Finally,Heatran can easily counter Victini as it can take pretty much all of its moves and easily revenge kill with a couple earth powers.Rotom-W is also a great counter resisting the fire moves and being able to OHKO with Hydro Pump,just have in mind that Rotom won't take a Thunder easily but it will take it.Hydreigon resisits the fire STAB and is immune to the psychic STAB and also resists Thunder,so it's a very good option,just be careful with that focus blast.

Cool Info:Victini is a mythical Pokemon as Mew,Celebi,Manaphy,Jirachi and Shaymin.

I hope you like the ideas of the sets and you will have fun using one of those.If you have any question don't hesitate asking me.
Have a nice day.
