As most of us know there are 156 new pokemon in B&W so I thought I might help out with getting people to know these pokemon a little better. Once a week (Maybe 2 or 3 times) I will Post a Review on a pokemon and just help you know what to do when you catch one, Ya Know?
Today we are starting with... #000 Victini!
Well if you've already got the Liberty Pass this might be helpful...
It starts off at level 15 with
Confusion,
Incinerate,
Quick Attack, and
Endure (sadly you need to wait until later to reteach
Searing Shot, which is an amazing attack). Mainly you'll be using Confusion because Incinerate in epicly weak.At level 17, it learns
Headbutt, which is nice and strong at this point in the game. It learns
Flame Charge at level 25, which raises Victini's Speed afterwards and should replace Incinerate. At level 33, it learns
Reversal, but that's hard to pull off with Endure and vulnerable to random Quick Attacks. (Yeah I know, Stupid quick attack!)It picks up a fairly strong
Flame Burst at level 41,
Zen Headbutt at level 49, and then the Zap Cannon of Burn at level 57:
Inferno. It learns moves all the way up to level 97, where it learns
Overheat (hardly worth the hassle).
Flare Blitz is alright at level 73, but that's still such a long way away you can't even look at it.
Victini has a pretty good movepool for TM's so you might as well us them until you gt some better attacks later... Here's a few:
Retaliate,
Grass Knot,
Thief,and
Rock Smash. Switch them around to your liking, but definitely keep its default Confusion. Later on in the game, some good offense moves are
Fire Blast (definitely, although lack of PP hurts),
Thunderbolt,
Shadow Ball,
Brick Break,
Charge Beam, and
Focus Blast, while some good defensive or support moves to consider are
Sunny Day (works great if you throw in
SolarBeam!),
Light Screen,
Thunder Wave, and
Substitute.
Victini has access to its better moves like
Psychic,
Flamethrower, and
Psyshock after you've beaten the game.
Victini's stats and diverse movepool make it an incredible Pokemon throughout the game. Though it does level up rather slowly, it can fall behind in levels and still be more effective than probably any of your Pokemon, particularly early on in the game. It's arguably
too good to use in-game, and some people have a stigma about using legendary Pokemon while playing through the game, so consider that before considering whether or not you want to let Victini pave your way to victory.
