After the July distribution of Shaymin and the GameStop code distribution for Arceus in August, The Pokémon Company continues its year-long event of giving away legendary Mythical Pokémon with Victini in September.
From Sept. 1-24, trainers can download Victini onto their Pokémon X and Y or Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire games.
Victini, like the other Mythical Pokémon, will come to you at level 100 with the Victory Star ability and the moves Incinerate, Quick Attack, Endure and Confusion. Now, these aren’t the best moves for Victini, but it can learn a lot of TMs and HMs so check out Serebii’s Pokedex entry for Victini, here.
You can also use Heart Scales in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to relearn older moves from the Move Relearner.
To download Victini, you’ll need to boot up your game and go to the MYSTERY GIFT tab. Select RECEIVE GIFT and then GET VIA INTERNET. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be given your own special Victini; just be sure you’re in a spot that has a good internet connection.
Once Victini is downloaded, just visit any Pokémon Center and talk to the woman who will gift you your Mythical Pokémon.
If you’re patient, you can make sure your Victini has the IVs you desire. Normally with these 20th Anniversary Pokémon, there are guaranteed three perfect IVs. You can soft reset your game to get the Nature you desire and the IVs you want. Do this in the Battle Resort Pokémon Center to easily talk to the Pokémon Rater inside to find out which IVs are perfect.
