Victini

Victini in the movies: the fourteenth film's two versions

Victini headlined the fourteenth movie, released as two versions: White, Victini and Zekrom, and Black, Victini and Reshiram. In the story it lives in Eindoak Town and had been a friend of the King of the People of the Vale a thousand years earlier. In the present, Damon hunts it because he needs its power to move the Sword of the Vale back to his people's old kingdom.

Victini on cards: Noble Victories to Black Bolt and White Flare

Victini's card debut came in Noble Victories (2011), with several versions including a Rare by Shin Nagasawa and a full art Ultra Rare (#98) by 5ban Graphics. The set's #14 holo was also issued as a Black Star Promo, BW32. Plasma Storm (2013) printed Victini-EX, with a full art at #131 by Ryo Ueda, and Dragon Majesty (2018) gave it a Prism Star card.

Battle Styles (2021) paired Victini V, including a full art at #144 by Saki Hayashiro, with Victini VMAX, including a rainbow secret rare at #165 by PLANETA Mochizuki. In 2025 the paired Scarlet & Violet sets Black Bolt and White Flare, built around Unova, each printed a Victini in their Black White Rare slots (Black Bolt #171 and White Flare #172, both by 5ban Graphics). It shares that tier with Zekrom ex and Reshiram ex, its two co-stars from the movie.

Why collectors follow Victini

Victini pairs Mythical status and a movie lead with a compact, readable card history: Black & White and Sword & Shield hold most of its printings, and its Black Bolt and White Flare cards tie it back to the Unova era it came from.
