Victini does not rank as a raid attacker, but it holds a Tier A spot at #40 in Great League. Build it to the league's CP cap rather than to a level, and unlock the second charged move before you invest further.
- Bulk-leaning spread (210 Defense / 225 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 100,000 Dust and 100 Candy, and with 5 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Windy weather — worth timing raids around.
